TACH PROGRAMMING:

The Remote Car Start will learn the tach rate of most vehicles single ignition coils, multiple coil packs, and or
single injector.  To learn tach:

1.  Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

3.  Press and release the program switch 3 times.

4.  Immediately turn the ignition key OFF.

5.  Hold the program switch ON, then start the vehicle using the ignition key.

6.  When the system senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.

7.  Release the program switch.  The parking lights will turn on for 3 seconds to indicate that the tach signal is stored
     and the system is now out of the program mode.

DIAGNOSTICS:

1.  Be sure that programmable feature number #6 is set to the "Diagnostics On" mode.

2.  Press and hold the program switch on, then turn the ignition key to the ON position.

3.  The lights will flash and the number of flashes will indicate the reason for shutdown on the last remote start
attempt.  The indications are as follows.

1 Flash

5, 10, 15, or 20, minute run timer expired.

2 Flashes

Low or No tach signal received.

3 Flashes

Positive or Negative input shut down.

4 Flashes

Neutral safety input..

5 Flashes

RF Shutdown command received.

6 Flashes

High RPM signal over speed shut down.

7 Flashes

Tach has NOT learned.

TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING:

This transmitter is designed for use with your remote start system and is programmed by using the remote
start's program switch in combination with the transmitter button. To program this transmitter into the CA-421
system:

1. Turn the ignition to the on position.

2. Press and release the programming switch 3 times.

3. Press and hold, for 3 seconds, the button of the transmitter you wish to add until the parking light flashes
indicating the transmitter has been learned.

4. Repeat step 3 for each transmitter up to a total of 4.

Turn the ignition off to exit the program mode.
