Understanding the ATS Five Star Co-Pilot
The ATS Co-Pilot transmission controller is recommended for use with light duty pickup trucks
when a heavy-duty aftermarket transmission and torque converter package have been installed on
vehicle. While the Co-Pilot will still function perfectly on a stock transmission, factory transmission
shafts are weak and prone to breakage. The factory torque converter clutch will also fail if applied
under high load conditions. Factory computers are programmed to disengage lockup under certain
conditions which will protect the transmissions internal components under higher load. This is why
we recommend having a heavy-duty aftermarket transmission installed in your vehicle to prevent
transmission failure. ATS Diesel Performance sells many parts for all levels of trucks that will
strengthen your transmission and improve reliability, whether you have a stock daily driver or a
fully built race truck! Give us a call today if you feel the need to get a fully rebuilt transmission for
your truck, or if you just want to strengthen your current transmission with a few upgraded parts.
Our experts can help answer any questions you have and guide you in the right direction.

- Page 1 Understanding the ATS Five Star Co-Pilot The ATS Co-Pilot transmission controller is recommended for use with light duty pickup trucks when a heavy-duty aftermarket transmission and torque converter package have been installed on vehicle.
- Page 2 601-900-2272-INST Co-Pilot Adjustment The control panel on the face of the ATS Co-Pilot allows the driver to adjust the lockup of the transmission. Keep in mind that the Co-Pilot will only lock the torque converter when enough boost is reached. This keeps the engine from bogging down due to excessively early converter clutch lockup that is commanded by many factory Transmission control modules.
- Page 3 Automatically cancels OD from a stop, only cancels after ignition has cycled, cancels at speed above 3mph. IMPORTANT: If the white wire of the Co-Pilot harness is not connected, then switch #2 must be set to the “ON” position. With the wire connected the options below are available.
- Page 4 Use the Velcro supplied to secure it to the dash. Before sticking the Velcro to the dash use brake clean or acetone on the area the sticker will be. Run the Co-Pilot wires that are to be wired up to the PCM (Power-train control module) and the transmission through the firewall.
- Page 5 601-900-2272-INST Wiring the Co-Pilot The Co-Pilot has several connections that need to be made in order for it to function properly. There are several wires which are optional but still included to give the Co-Pilot a more versatile use depending on your trucks current setup. Use the diagram below as a reference when installing your Co-Pilot to avoid any conflicts or confusion.
- Page 6 601-900-2272-INST -Red Wire- +12V Power – PIN #1 Reasons for use: The red wire supply’s key on power to the Co-Pilot so it can turn on and be functional. NOT OPTIONAL Locate a Power wire at the vehicles PCM. Tap the Pink/Gray wire that goes to Pin 32 of the C2 PCM Connector (PCM is located on the Passenger side firewall).
- Page 7 Tap the Yellow wire in the APPS Plug wire loom Cavity 3. -Green Wire- Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) – PIN #17 Reasons for use: This is how the Co-Pilot is able to know what speed of the vehicle is traveling so it can control the TCC Lock up speed. NOT OPTIONAL Locate the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) wire in the vehicle’s computer wiring harness.

- Page 9 Co-Pilot module. The Exhaust-brake feature of the Co-Pilot will only work with an exhaust brake that uses a solenoid to actuate it. We recommend the use of a Pacbrake with our Co-Pilot. Some exhaust brakes do not use a solenoid, instead they use a computer module.
- Page 10 There is a stripe on the diode that indicates the positive side. Attach the positive side of the diode to pin 85 of the Pacbrake relay. Attach the negative side of the diode to the gray Co-Pilot wire. See the provided wiring diagram for clarification.
- Page 11 If you experience problems after installation, there is a simple test to help diagnose the problem. Simply unplug the wiring harness from the back of the Co-Pilot module and put a bent paperclip into blue and yellow terminals of the harness’ plug (jumper the blue and yellow together). This reconnects the wire that you cut at the transmission plug and bypasses the Co-Pilot completely.
