will give a one second output intended to pulse the PTS switch. Also, the Purple crank output becomes your
brake switch output (this will turn the brake circuit
ON
for crank).
NEW FEATURE – PTS TAKEOVER
Without the PTS takeover, pressing the brake pedal after remote starting shuts down the engine (to prevent
theft). Here are the new steps for this new Takeover mode:
Regular PTS takeover from Remote start:
1.
Remote start the engine.
2.
Press
and enter the vehicle.
3.
Within the pre-programmed time limit (1.5 min or 3 min, see Mode 3), press the brake pedal.
PTS takeover from Idle mode:
1.
With the engine running, press
,
or
to engage Idle mode.
2.
Exit the vehicle; engine runs without the key.
3.
IMPORTANT: After exiting the vehicle, press
.
4.
Press
and enter the vehicle.
5.
Within the pre-programmed time limit (1.5 min or 3 min, see Mode 3), press the brake pedal.
NEW FEATURE – HYBRID OPTION
Warning: For automatic transmissions only.
This option is disabled by default. It can be enabled in Mode 3 of the programming options.
HYBRID mode is a special feature that is intended to facilitate the remote starter installation on most Hybrid
vehicles. With HYBRID mode enabled, the remote starter will give a 4-second crank output on its crank wire (It
will not rely on VTS to stop the crank cycle). The only way to shorten the 4-second crank output is to program a
tach signal to the remote starter. If a tach signal is programmed, the remote starter will act like normal (the
HYBRID feature should be used when no tach reference is available from the vehicle or the bypass being used
at the time of installation).
ENTERING PROGRAMMING MODE
These are the programming buttons:
The Programming Button
(a.k.a. the P.B.)
The
P.B.
is located on the side of the module. This push button
mimics the hood-pin switch
in order to avoid
having to get out of the vehicle and pressing the hood-pin switch.
The P.B. will work only when the hood pin
is installed and the hood is up.
(Ground on the hood line.)

TESTING
Before putting the vehicle back together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The
following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before
testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
Make sure the system properly enters and exits ready mode:
Ready mode is a sequence of steps that must be followed in order to allow manual transmission
vehicles to be remote started. To get into ready mode:
If Ready Mode is enabled by remote
If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake
