CM7200 Master Guide
I need a ground when armed wire, does the control module have one?
A: You can use pin 1-blue/white wire on the Grey Connector 5. You must cut this wire and place a diode in
line so that when the ignition on the other side of the relay goes to ground and it doesn't back feed to your
accessory. Install the stripe side of the diode facing the control module.
What do I do with the 6 Pin harness on Connector 3?
A: The 6 Pin harness on Connector 3 is used for low current ignition harnesses. DO NOT use this harness
with the Connector 1 Harness (the high current power harness) this is ONLY to be used in LOW current
applications where High current is not needed for any reason.
Does the CM7 series have tachless mode?
A: Yes. The CM7000 and CM7200 are tachless. For details, review the "Common Procedures" section of
this manual.
All my connections are made and remotes programmed, how do I program the tach?
A: Review the "Common Procedures" section of this manual. You must have your remotes programmed,
start your vehicle, then hold the remote start button. Vehicle should chirp and/or flash once if it programs,
three times if it does not like the tach source.
The vehicle will lock and unlock, but will not remote start or flash the parking lights.
A: The system is in Valet Mode. Tap buttons (I) + (III) for a half second to exit Valet Mode.
Whenever I try to arm the vehicle, it chirps the siren 3 times and will not arm.
A: Check the hood and trunk trigger inputs.
When I turn the ignition on the parking lights flash 3 times and/or siren chirps 3 times. What is
the problem?
A: When you program only 1 Way remotes to a 2 Way antenna and no 2 Way remotes the control module
reminds you of this situation each time you turn the ignition on. It does not affect the operation of the system
but will continue to do so until you program both 2 and 1 Way remotes to the 2 Way antenna.
Do the door locks flip flop in polarity?
A: No. You can use the FT-DM700 relay pack for high current positive (+) locks, or the FT-DM600 harness
used for low current 600mA positive (+) locks.
What are Firmware Version Diagnostics?
A: When you turn the Ignition on and hold buttons 1 and 4 or Lock and Key/Start for 2.5 seconds then the
parking lights will flash 1 time on the CM6 series showing V.1.
