Page 19: Start Failure Codes Via Parking Lights
• The Parking Lights and L.E.D. will flash the five events stored in memory. The first four playback codes are Start Failure Events, while the last playback code is an Intrusion Code. There is a pause after each event code is played back. The system will play back the most recent event first, then the second most-recent, and so on. - Page 20 It always better to strip more than you need, than not enough. A common way cold solder joints − happen is when not enough plastic is stripped off the vehicle's wire, so during the soldering process the plastic from the wire melts and flows in to the connection instead of the solder. Decide where the module is going to be mounted.

made. This extra bit wire is wrapped around the exposed OEM wire to secure in place while you are soldering. When all of the wires have been connected, solder the connections. When the solder has − cooled, the connections are then individually taped up, to isolate them. Return to the engine bay and route the start module wires to their corresponding connections. - Page 22 85 & 86: The Coil. These inputs energize the coil when one is +12 Volts, and the other is Negative. They are usually non-polarized, so it does not matter which one is positive (+) or negative (-). 87: Normally Open ( N/O). When the coil is energized, 87 is connected to 30. 87A: Normally Closed ( N/C ).
- Page 23 Problem: You need to power Multiple Ignition wires to remote start the vehicle, but your module only has one Ignition output available. Solution: You will need to add a second ignition relay to power the second ignition wire. (Jumping Ignition 1 to Ignition 2 is NEVER recommended. Always use a relay. The vehicle circuits are Isolated for a reason, the wiring of the remote star module should reflect this.) The relay connections:...
- Page 24 Example: Activating a Positive Trunk release switch Problem: The vehicle's power trunk release switch is activated by a positive (+) pulse, and the remote start module's Trunk output is negative (-). Solution: A relay is used to invert the negative signal from the start module to a positive signal before it is sent to the OEM switch.

Connects to a fused +12 Volt source. Connects to a Negative source. i.e. The spot where the remote start module is grounded. This becomes the supply for activating the vehicle's Trunk release wire. 87A: No connection. This terminal is not used in this application. Connects to the vehicle's Trunk release wire. - Page 26 Are you waiting too long between programming steps? • After flashing the hood pin turn the key to ON, WAIT for 2 seconds.
