5 YELLOW Wire: Starter Output
C
areful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while
in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow
you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why
the connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and ensure that the
vehicle cannot start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will be
made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when the
ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition switch
positions.
NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical
neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay,
(when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the of the neutral safety switch can result in personal
injury and property damage.
SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
6 GREEN Wire: Ignition 2 Output
Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" position and is some cases the "START" or CRANK" position. This wire will
show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.
NOTE: See programming information (Bank 3 Selection #2) concerning this wire to allow output during the
"START" mode.
WIRING CONNECTIONS: 12 Pin Accessory Input/Output Harness
1 Yellow/Black Wire: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output
Note: You must disconnect the ignition input of the alarm from any other wire that it is presently connected
to in the vehicle.
This wire provides a + 12 Volt output when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, and 0 Volts when the ignition
key is "OFF" or when the vehicle is running under the control of the remote starter.
This wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system.
This output will allow you to remote start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock the doors
while running under control of the remote start unit.
2 Green w/ Orange Wire: Tachometer Input Signal
This wire will continually monitor the engine's tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module.
This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and
connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start unit learns the tach rate of the vehicle and in
most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders. If the vehicle has
a single coil unit for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire to more than one cylinder for proper
tach reference. See Multi Coil Pack Adaptor wiring detail shown later in this manual for additional information.
Note: For Hybrid mode selection, Bank 3 feature selection 5, this connection is not required, the unit will start the
vehicle and run the allotted time based on feature selection and crank duration.
