Model APS-901E Installation Manual Keyless Entry and Remote Start System Table Of Contents: Before You Begin Page 2 Wire Harnesses Quick View Page 3 - 4 Installation Of The Major Components Page 5 6 Pin Power Harness Wiring Page 6 - 7...
Before You Begin PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED Roll down window to avoid locking the keys in the vehicle during installation. Avoid mounting components or routing wires near hot surfaces or near moving parts like the steering wheel as it may prevent proper operation of the vehicle.

WARNING! This Remote Start is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this system is a sophisticated device with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage! INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS: CONTROL MODULE: PART # 1365398...

IMPORTANT! DO NOT PLUG THE EIGHT PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT/OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

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.

3 Green Wire: Door Unlock (-) Output The Green wire provides a (-) Negative Pulse when the transmitter is used, while the vehicle is running by remote start, to unlock the doors. See Page 12-13 for use of this unlock output. 4 Brown w/ Black trace Wire: Positive Inhibit Input The Brown w/ Black Trace wire provides an instant shutdown for the Remote Start Control module whenever it gets + 12 volts.
Page 9
9 Black w Blue trace Wire: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start The Black w/ Blue Trace wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output 500mS before GWR becomes active as well as when the transmitter is used to disarm the system. Typical use for this output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm when the remote start unit engages or when the system is used to unlock the doors.

A. Sensor By Pass: If there is a Non Plug in Sensor used with the alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation period, then vibration or noise from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Light Blue Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay.

4 Pin Additional Harness: Parking Light Flasher I/O Siren & Ground 1 Black: Chassis Ground Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self tapping screw and ring terminal. 2 White w/ Red trace Wire: Parking Light Relay Input Wire This wire is the common contact of the on board parking light flasher relay.

3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock Circuits: Use of Green wire from main connectors harness. In this application, the Green wire of the main wiring harness provides a ground pulse when the transmitter button is pressed and held for 3 seconds while running under control of the remote start. Connect the Green wire to the low current ground signal wire from the factory door unlock switch to the factory door unlock relay.

Resistive Circuits, Multiplex Circuits As Well As 4 Wire Polarity Reversal and 5 Wire Alternating 12 Volt Door Lock Control Circuits These applications require the use of additional components which may include relays, fixed resistor, a door lock interface, or a data module. You can search the vehicle @ www.avxtech1.com, www.Flash-It. com for vehcile specific information, or contact our tech service line or web site for additional information.

DIESEL ENGINE SETTINGS: NOTE: When selecting Diesel operation, (Bank 3 Feature #12), over gasoline, the only change is to the ignition circuits. When Diesel is selected, the ignition circuits will power up 10, 15, or 20 seconds before the start circuit. The intent of this feature is to allow the glow plug warming required by some diesel en- gines.
Page 15
DIAGNOSTICS: Enter Bank 3 and turn on selectable feature # 10 as described on the front pages of this manual. NOTE: Diagnostic mode is a temporary mode. Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode, the unit will pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code. This code will be displayed three times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.
Page 16
To Exit Remote Start Override Mode: 1) With the system disarmed, Press and Hold the PBLED on. 2) Turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on, off. 3) The LED turns off indicating that the R/S unit is fully functional one again. DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERATION OF THE MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE FEATURE.

KEY IN SENSOR CIRCUITS: If the vehicle you are working on does not have or you cannot locate the ECM reference wire, there are two alternatives available. Although not preferred, the vehicle Key In Sensor may be reconfigured to allow a margin of safety and will prevent the vehicle with a Mechanical Neutral Start Switch from starting in gear.

NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode (Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switch.

The transmitters are pre-programmed from the factory, If you find you need to program new or additional transmitters follow the instructions below. PROGRAMMING BANK 1 (TRANSMITTERS): 1) Turn the ignition key to the on position. 2) Press and release the valet/programming switch 3 times (Siren Chirps Once). 3 Press the Lock Button of each transmitter you want programmed until you hear a chirp from the horn or siren.
Page 21
PROGRAMMING BANK 3 (REMOTE START ): You can enter Bank 3 from Bank 2 by turning the ignition key off then on after you've made the changes you wanted in Bank 2, (Siren Chirps 3 times). You can also go right to bank 3 by: 1) Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
