 1) VOLTAGE SENSE SETTING:

The unit will monitor the voltage level of the battery during remote start, wait for the voltage to drop while 

cranking, then look for the voltage level to go above the level it was before the vehicle began to crank 

which indicates the vehicle is running.  Feature #14 of Bank 3 must be set for averaging or the voltage 

sense  feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times. 

 2) TACH RATE SETTING:

1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.

2. Press and release the valet/program push button switch 3 times.

3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off.

4. Press and hold the valet/program push button switch, then start the vehicle using the key.

5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.

6. Release the valet/program pushbutton switch.  The parking lights will turn on for three seconds to indi-

cate that the learned tach signal is stored and the unit is out of the tach learn mode.

NOTE:

 If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tachometer connection or a poor tach source, 

the parking lights will not flash.  To correct this situation, locate and connect the Green/Orange wire to the 

proper tach signal, and then repeat the tach learn routine.

 3) DBI TACH SETTING:

Selecting this setting in the option menu indicates that you have a DBI module and have determined that 

a tach signal is available for the vehicle you are connecting to.  The unit will look at the DBI data port for 

the tach signal.  If the vehicle fails to start, or the unit flashes 7 times, recheck the DBI manual to insure 

that tach is available for your vehicle.  If not the tach connection wire, Green/Orange must be used. 

 4) HYBRID SETTING:

Selecting this setting in the option menu allows for Hybrid vehicles.  Also feature #14 of Bank 3 must be 

set for preset time or the Hybrid feature will not operate indicated by the parking lights flashing 7 times.   

 CRANK AVERAGING:

When Feature 14 Bank 3 is set for crank averaging, the remote start unit constantly monitors and learns 

the cranking patterns of the vehicle each time the car is started with the key.  The vehicle must be started 

at least 4 times with the key for the crank averaging circuit to begin it's monitoring the vehicle's engine.

 DIAGNOSTICS:

Enter Bank 3 and turn on selectable feature # 9 as described on the front pages of this manual.

NOTE: 

 Diagnostic mode is a temporary mode.  Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode, the unit 

will pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code.  This code will be displayed 

three times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.

The parking lights will flash a number of times indicating the reason for the last remote start shutdown. 

The light flash indications are as follows:

1 Flash   

Run timer expired

2 Flashes 

Low or no tach signal (RPM)

3 Flashes 

Positive inhibit wire activation

4 Flashes 

NA

5 Flashes 

RF shutdown, Remote signal received, or manual start trigger wire reactivated.

6 Flashes 

High tach signal (RPM)

7 Flashes 

Tach signal has not been learned

8 Flashes 

Negative inhibit wire

 TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION:

WARNING!!  

The following procedure must be performed after the installation of any Remote Start Device.  

It is the responsibility of the installing technician to complete these tests.  Failure to test the unit in the 

following manner may result in personal injury, property damage, or both.
