Under Hood Connections - Route the hood pin and tach wire
through the firewall into the engine compartment. If possible route
the wires through a factory rubber grommet. If drilling a hole through
the firewall, BE CAREFUL. Always check for obstructions on both
sides of the firewall. After drilling, use a snap in grommet to protect
the wires from sharp edges. Use split loom to insulate the wires, route
the wires clear of moving parts and extreme heat. The hood pin
switch must always be installed and the tach wire should always be
soldered and taped properly.

Recommended Installation Procedures
Mounting The Control Module - Never mount the module in the
engine compartment. Select a location under the dash to install the
main module. Be certain that the module is securely attached and
does not obstruct any serviceable areas. Do not force or jam the
module into tight places instead of mounting. The module must be
free from all moving parts such as brake, clutch and gas pedal
linkages. Do not place the module directly in front of a heater vent.

Wiring Descriptions
MAIN CONNECTOR (6pin)
Pin Function Description
1-YELLOW Starter Output - This wire will test 0V in OFF, ACCESSORY and in
the ON key positions. 12v during START ONLY.
2-GREEN Heater/Acc Output - This wire will test 0V in the OFF and START
key positions. 12-14V in the ACCESSORY
and RUN key positions.
3-RED 12volt Input(30amp) - Supplies 12votls for the IGNITION, PARK
LIGHT and SELECTABLE outputs.
4-RED 12volt Input(30amp) - Supplies 12 volts for ACCESSORY and
STARTER outputs.
5-BLUE Ignition Output - This wire will test 0V in the OFF and
ACCESSORY key positions.12V in the
IGNITION, START and RUN positions.
6-WHITE Selectable Output - Output for 2nd IGNITION, 2nd ACCESSORY
or 2nd STARTER.
Park Brake Input- This wire is located at the park brake switch. The wire will
switch to (-) when the park brake is applied.
Never connect the Black/White wire straight to a ground!!!
(-) Door Pin Input- A negative door pin wire will be (+) or neutral when the
door is closed then switch to (-) when the door is opened.
Always ensure that all the vehicles doors are sensed.
(+) Door Pin Input- A positive door pin wire will be (-) or neutral when the door
is closed then switch to (+) when the door is opened.
Always ensure that all the vehicles doors are sensed.
NOTE: Blue/White must be connected on “M” series.
If any Door Pin Switches or the Park Brake Switch is not working correctly...
“DO NOT INSTALL UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED!!!”
Clutch Bypass - In most cases the clutch switch will need to bypassed during
remote starting. This is a temporary bypass, the clutch switch should never be
disconnected or altered to not work as it is indented to”As a Safety Switch”. The
clutch switch is usually a 2 wire switch mounted directly to the clutch pedal. There
are several types of clutch switches that operate in one of the following ways:
Type 1 - Starter Wire Bypass - The starter wire travels form the key switch
through the clutch switch to the starter motor. Connect the remote starters
Starter Output wire directly to the starter motor side of the clutch switch.
Type 2 - Negative (High Current) - This switch grounds the factory starter relay
and allows the vehicle to start. Connect a relay to ground the output side
of the clutch switch wire when the remote starter is activated. The starter
wire is connected at the ignition switch.
Type 3 - Connect Switch - Install a relay to connect the two wires at the switch
when the remote starter is activated. The starter wire is connected at the
ignition switch.
Type 4 - Disconnect Switch Install a relay to disconnect one of the wires at
the clutch switch. The starter wire is connected at the ignition switch.
Testing for the correct wire is critical! Never connect to a circuit if you are not sure
of it’s operation. Contact your dealer or technical support for more information.

1) Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. The park lights* will turn “ON”
2) Start the vehicle with the key. The LEDs on the antenna will turn on if a
proper tach signal is detected**, after 30-35 seconds the park lights will flash
and the horn (Optional) will honk twice to confirm Tach Learn.
* If the park lights do not turn on check for proper connection on the BLUE
ignition wire at the 6-pin connector. This wire should be connected to the
vehicle main ignition wire and must not turn off during the start position.
If the ignition connection is correct, reset the system (see System Reset
page 15) and repeat step #1.
** If the LEDs do not come “ON” during tach learn, a proper tach signal
was not detected.
NOTE: The LEDs will not turn “ON” for Auto Tach Learn on the TL series.
If the park lights do not flash in Auto Tach Learn mode it may be necessary to
connect to a different tach source. It is important the ignition output from the
remote starter is connected to a wire that does not turn off in the crank position.
The remote starter will not tach learn if connected to the wrong wire.
For best results connect the tach wire to the coil pack or to a fuel injector wire.
1) Start the vehicle and leave it running with the ignition key
until the engine idles down.
NOTE: The System MUST be “Tach Learn” before the “Quick Learn”
feature will function.
TIP: “Manual Low Idle Learn”. While in “Auto Tach Learn” mode,
firmly apply the park brake and press the brake pedal. Place the
transmission into reverse gear this will lower the Engine Idle.

2 flashes/honks= Program Setting 2; etc…
b) Press and Hold the Program Button until the park lights flash and the
horn(optional) honks to confirm the desired setting. For example: 1 flash/
honk= Setting 1; 2 flashes/honks= Setting 2; 3 flashes/honks= Setting 3.
c) Turning the ignition key to the “Off” position or 30 seconds of no activity
will exit Program Mode. This will be confirmed with a light flash and a
long horn (optional) honk. The Program Menu may be changed at any
time by pressing the transmitter button (below), this will allow the
installer to jump from one menu, then quickly jump to another menu and
change another setting without re-entering Program Mode.

DIAGNOSTICS
If the remote starter does not activate when the start button is pressed the park
lights will flash a diagnostic to indicate what shutdown input has been triggered.
For example: If the button is pressed the park lights flash 3 times slowly.
Looking at the chart below this would indicate that the system is in Service
Mode, simply follow the instructions listed in the owners manual on exiting
Service Mode and the remote starter will begin to function as normal.
