2) Code Learning

Your transmitter is factory coded to the remote starter

 

module with

over 16,000,000 different codes.  The remote starter module can
learn the codes of up to 4 different transmitters.  If you want to add
additional transmitters to the receiver or if it does not respond to
your transmitter - follow the steps below to teach the receiver the
transmitter code(s):

A.

Open Hood.

B.

Turn the ignition ON (do not start the vehicle).

C.

Press and HOLD brake pedal.

D.

Quickly push and release Programming button twice.

E.

Release the brake.

F.

The LED will glow solid Orange.

G.

Hold down the LIGHTS button on the transmitter for a second
until you hear the horn honk (or just look for the orange LED to
go out for half a second). The module has now learned the trans-
mitter code. Release the transmitter button.

H.

To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), within a few
seconds, push the LIGHTS button on another transmitter for a
second or more until you hear the horn honk (or see the orange
LED go out for half a second). Repeat for the remaining trans-
mitters.

I.

5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was learned the unit
exits the code-learning stage. (The Red LED light will turn on
solid when unit exits Code learning).

J.

Turn off the ignition.

Note:

  

    

  

  

Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all pre-

vious codes - so all transmitters must be taught.

  You have only 5

seconds between transmitters to begin teaching a new transmitter.

3) Factory Anti-Theft Systems

Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be tempo-
rarily bypassed for the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems
use a resistor in the key.  Others use a transponder - a small device in
the key that communicates a high security code to the vehicle before
the vehicle will successfully start.

Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems on the
right.  If your vehicle is listed, your vehicle has an Anti-Theft System
that the remote starter MUST temporarily bypass in order to start the
vehicle.

The Universal Alarm Bypass Module, sold under part numbers #20402
or #29402 will temporarily bypass a factory anti-theft system when
using the remote starter.  Check with your local retailer/installer to
purchase this Universal Alarm Bypass Module.

Vehicle-specific anti-theft bypass and door lock modules are also
available for many vehicles. Many vehicle-specific bypass modules
eliminate the need for a spare ignition key to bypass transponder
anti-theft systems. Please  see your local dealer.
