Page 18: Testing The Neutral Safety Switch
According to available information, the only vehicles currently manufactured this way are most General Motors trucks, sport utility vehicles and column shifting passenger cars. Available information also indicates that pre- 1996 Dodge Dakota pickups with 2.5 liter motors are manufactured this way as well. GM vehicles that have the neutral safety switch built into the column shifter can usually be identified by a purple starter wire. - Page 19 In addition, you must connect a tan (+) shut-down input to the yellow wire on the relay satellite ribbon cable. This prevents the remote start system from activating if the key is left in the "run" position. If your remote start system only has one tan input, you must use diodes to isolate the ignition circuit from the brake switch input.

programming jumpers jumper 1: tach threshold on/off In most cases, this jumper can be left in the default OFF position. Some new vehicles use less than 12 volts in their ignition systems. The unit may have trouble learning the tach signal in these vehicles. Changing the jumper to the ON setting changes the trigger threshold of the digital tach circuit so it will work properly with these vehi- cles. -
Page 32: Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine
transmitter/receiver learn routine The system comes with two transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to four different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments. - Page 33 *NOTE: For Auto Learn Configurations, see Transmitter Configurations section of this guide. **NOTE: If any transmitter button from a known transmitter is programmed to Channel 10, all transmitters will be erased from memory and will revert to the default feature settings. (See Features Menu section of this guide.) This is useful in cases where one of the customer's transmit- ters is lost or stolen.

2-8 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK ON/OFF: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the BLUE H4/C wire will supply two negative pulses instead of a single pulse. At the same time, the GREEN H4/A wire will supply two positive pulses instead of a single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with double pulse vehicles without any extra parts. -
Page 43: Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
3-6 VOLTAGE CHECK HI/LOW: This feature only functions when programmed for voltage sense. Some vehicles have many accessories, which are turned on when remote started. In these vehicles, the variation of voltage between the engine off and the car running is very small and the remote start unit may "think" the vehicle has not started. -

I Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not: Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong door input has been used. (See Door Lock Harness Wire Connection Guide section of this guide.) I System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed: Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/6 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either the H1/5 green or the H1/7 violet should be used instead. - Page 50 6. Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the relay satellite should have solid connections. "T-taps" or "scotch locks" are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire, then connect one red wire to each. I The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.
