  • Page 16 ➜ step 1 Ground Wire The BLACK (H1/5) wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground. This wire should be connected to a clean, paint-free area of metal only in the drivers kick panel area. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.
  • Page 17 ➜ step 2 Constant Power and Ignition wires Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care not to break any parts.
  • Page 18 warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components. Once the constant power wire (or wires) has been identified, solder the two thick RED wires from the control module to it and cover the connection with electrical tape to ensure a safe connection.
  • Page 19 If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the Web site information follow the same test procedure and solder the thick PINK/WHITE (F) relay wire to it and be sure to wrap the connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle has only 1 igni- tion source, secure the PINK/WHITE out of the way.
  • Page 20 To find the accessory wire leave the LED tester black lead connected to the metal ground, take the red lead and probe the wire suspected to be the accessory. With the key off, your LED tester should not illuminate. Turn the key to the on position and the LED tester should be illuminated.
  • Page 21 Now that the accessories have been located, find the wire suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your LED tester on the wire. With the key in the off position the LED tester should be extinguished in all key positions except the crank position.

  • Page 24 Place the wire with the spade connector onto the pin switch and run the wire into the vehicle’s passenger compartment through a factory rubber grommet. Using a sharp, pointed object poke a hole into the grommet and attach the wire to the object with electrical tape.

  • Page 27 ➜ step 6 Engine monitoring (voltage—default setting)—optional During remote start the system will need to know if the engine is running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of the vehicle’s electrical system (or the tachometer-see next topic). When the vehicle is not running the electrical system is approx- imately 12 volts.
  • Page 28 On some vehicles the electrical system has too low of a voltage variance for the remote start module to see. In this case the engine will not be protected from over cranking, over revolution, or under revolution of the engine. If this is the case, it will be necessary to use the tachometer.
  • Page 29 note! In the following procedure do NOT use the LED tester. Use of this tester can cause grounding of sensitive electrical components causing damage, including damage to the power train control module. Use a digital multi- meter to test for this wire. Identify the suspect wire according to the web information.
  • Page 30 note! For the programming of the tachometer, refer to the Control Module Programming discussion. ➜ step 7 Factory Alarm Disarm Since some newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm system, it maybe necessary for the factory alarm to be disarmed when remote starting the vehicle.
  • Page 31 ➜ step 8 Immobilizer Bypass Modules note: Any vehicle equipped with a factory immobilizer must use an immobilizer bypass module to remote start. If not used, the vehicle ignition or fuel supply circuits could lock up and require a costly trip to the dealer to reset the computer system.
