Required Final Steps; Trying The Unit Out; The Antenna; Trouble Shooting With The Self Diagnostics - DesignTech Ready start 24739 Installation Manual

Important Note: If you want to use the keyless entry features only (with no
alarm functions), set Option 24 (no alarm) in the "Setting Program
Features" section for No Alarm mode.
19C. Extra YELLOW Wire – Starter Kill
This system has a built-in Starter Kill relay to immobilize the vehicle when
the alarm is armed. You will need to cut the vehicle's Starter wire in half
between the key cylinder and the starter solenoid of the vehicle. If you have
already hooked up the Thick Yellow Wire in Step 7, cut the starter wire
between where the Yellow wire is connected and the key. Now connect the
solenoid (engine) side wire to the yellow starter wire that goes to the
module where there are 6 spade connectors. Now attach the extra Thick
Yellow wire to the tab connector of the remote starter that is next to the
antenna jack on the module from the main power wires. Connect the other
end of this wire to the remaining cut end of the keyside of the vehicle's
starter wire that was cut in half earlier.
Important Note: If you want to use the keyless entry features only (with no
alarm functions), set Option 24 in the "Setting Program Features"
section for No Alarm mode. If Option 24 is set, the starter kill will only
work as an anti-grind feature (when putting the key into the ignition of a
remotely started vehicle, the anti-grind feature will prevent the key from
grinding the starter motor if the key is turned too far).
19D. External shock sensor hook up (optional-DesignTech
model #20611):
Plug the shock sensor unit into the 4 wire connector on the front side of the
remote start module. Use one or two cable ties to tightly fasten the shock
sensor unit to the steering column of the vehicle. Make sure that the sensor
does not affect the driver's ability to
steer the vehicle. This placement
gives the best overall coverage for a
vehicle. Adjust the screw(s) so that a
hard impact on the vehicle triggers
the full alarm and light impacts just
trigger the warn away. (This input may
not work with all types of alarm
sensors.)
The 4-pin external alarm sensor has 2 modes of operation (Option 30). This
4-pin external alarm sensor can be disabled when the vehicle is remotely
running or it can be Active when remotely running. If you are connecting a
shock sensor to the unit, generally the shock sensor should be disabled
when the vehicle is remotely running to prevent false alarm triggers. If the
installer is using a "radar" sensor or additional pin switches that are not
affected by the motion of the vehicle starting, this input can be active when
remotely running.
Important Note: If you want to use the keyless entry features only (with no
alarm functions) set Option 24 (No Alarm) in the "Setting Program
Features" section for No Alarm mode.
20. Red/Black Wire Diesel "wait to start" Control Harness
This wire is only used for diesel vehicles and is optional. This wire can be
hooked up to the "wait to start" light's switched wire behind the dash. If
Option #9 (in section 24) is set, this wire will feed information to the remote
starter as to when to crank the vehicle over. This wire is not polarity sensitive.

REQUIRED FINAL STEPS

Note: You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initialization
(Step 11) to proceed forward.

21. Trying the Unit Out

WARNING: Be prepared to apply the brake during this testing.
A. Close the hood and fully apply the emergency brake
B. Place the vehicle in Park.
C. Turn the On/Off switch Off then On – the red LED light will flash once.
4-Pin External Alarm Input
Power Harness

on this side
1. Warn Away
2. Full Alarm
3. Ground
4. +12 Volts Constant
D. Once all the wiring is checked and is correct, press the Start button on the
transmitter.
E. The car should start and continue to run for ten minutes. Make sure that
the engine shuts down if the car is shifted out of park, the hood is
opened, the brake is pressed or the start button is pushed again. If the car
does not start, see the Code Learning section under Special Cases.

22. The Antenna

Feed the antenna around under the dash and up the inside of the right or left
windshield post and over the top of the windshield. Clean the windshield
with the alcohol pad provided for maximum adhesion. Let the window dry
completely. Slide the antenna clip over the antenna in the direction of the
coax wire. Peel the backing from the double-sided tape on the antenna clip.
Mount the antenna behind the rear view mirror. The more exposed the end
section of the antenna is, the better the range performance. Now plug the end
of the antenna into the remote starter module. In most vehicles you will get
better range performance if the antenna is pointing vertically downward
from the top of the windshield.
Note: The wiring section of the installation is now complete. Be sure to
cap all unused wires so as to prevent short circuits, and mount the module
securely under the dash. When tying up and mounting the unit, be sure to
avoid any moving parts (steering column, pedals) and sharp edges.

23. Trouble Shooting with the Self Diagnostics

The remote starter contains a built in diagnostic routine that will indicate
why the unit started or why the unit turned off the car the last time that the
unit was used.
To activate the diagnostic mode for why it turned off, simply turn the On/Off
control switch to the "OFF" position. In a few seconds, the red LED light on
the module will flash 1 to 12 times to identify the problem. See the chart
below for an explanation of the flashes:
1 flash 10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure transmitter
is working properly.
2 flashes Unit turned off because Brake or Hood was activated. Check to
make sure the hood pin switch is depressed when the hood is
closed and the correct brake wire is hooked up.
3 flashes No Tach or Stalled. Review section 12 and make sure the no
tach/tach wire option is programmed correctly.
4 flashes Received another remote input from the transmitter
5 flashes Transmission was shifted into gear. Switch the "In Gear" switch
inside the module. See wire diagram on front cover.
6 flashes Low battery voltage, or may be missing an ignition wire which
powers up the alternator
7 flashes Alarm Input triggered
8 flashes Over current – One of the 400 mA (-) transistor outputs
(Accessory Pulse, Alarm Disarm, Starter kill, lock, unlock, horn,
lights, trunk, or Ignition 3) of the control or 3 pin harness is
drawing too much current. Make sure to use a relay where
necessary.
12 flashes The Control Switch was turned off while the starter was running.
For reasons why it last started, simply put your foot on the brake while you
turn the control switch OFF. Keep holding the brake down until the flashes
start. The codes are as follows:
1 flash The unit has not started yet since it was last powered up.
2 flashes Received a radio signal from the transmitter to start.
3 flashes N/A
4 flashes Temp reached 0
5 flashes Voltage reached 11 volts in Vacation Mode.
6 flashes Received a start command from the remote input RED/WHITE
wire.
7 flashes Started from 24 hour Daily Start feature.
