TESTING VEHICLE WIRES
CONTINUED
WHEN LOOKING FOR A POSITIVE (+) WIRE CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR MULTI METER TO A CHASSIS
GROUND.
WHEN LOOKING FOR A NEGATIVE (-) WIRE CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR MULTI METER TO A 12V (+)
CONSTANT SOURCE
HOOD SWITCH (-)
- This wire is usually connected to the supplied Pin Switch with each starter. In the case that
a vehicle has an OEM hood switch that is negative (-) this can be connected instead of the Pin Switch.
To test for this wire use a multi meter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to
probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the hood switch is open. Connect this wire to the Gray/
White wire on CN4.
AUXILIARIES (SLIDING DOORS, ETC.) (-)
- This wire can usually always be found at the desired auxiliary
release switch.
To test for this wire use a multi meter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to
probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the auxiliary switch is engaged. Connect this wire to the
any of the following wires on CN4, Black/Brown for AUX 1 Control from remote, Black/Green for AUX 2 Control
from remote, Black/Blue for AUX 3 Control from remote, Black/Yellow for AUX 4 Control from remote. These
wires can be also control multiple other functions like sunroof open/close, window roll up/down, gas traps,
etc. Test these wires the same as testing for Auxiliary sliding controls. **Please Note that only AUX 1 and 2 are
controllable from all 1-Way remotes, AUX 3 and 4 are only controllable from the 2-Way LCD remote. The output
times and function control can also be controlled from Menu 4-9 to 4-16
LOCK (-)
- This wire can usually always be found at the door panel lock/unlock switch, and on most cars at the
BCM. It is becoming more popular that locks can be controlled using a bypass module.
To test for this wire use a multi meter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to
probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the lock button is pressed. Connect the Green wire on
CN2 to this wire. There are multiple changes that can be made to the way this wire functions in Menu 1-01 to
1-05.
UNLOCK (-)
- This wire can usually always be found at the door panel lock/unlock switch, and on most cars at
the BCM. It is becoming more popular that locks can be controlled using a bypass module.
To test for this wire use a multi meter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to
probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the unlock button is pressed. Connect the Blue wire on
CN2 to this wire. There are multiple changes that can be made to the way this wire functions in Menu 1-01 to
1-05.
**For Positive, Reverse Polarity, and Resistance Lock or Unlock, or adding Door Lock Actuators please see the
Relay Guide for Install.
BYPASS MODULE
- It is getting more and more popular that vehicles functions can be controlled by bypass
modules. The features can include some or all of the following. Lock, Unlock, Alarm Arm, Alarm Disarm, Tach,
Foot Brake Status, Emergency Brake Status, Ignition Status, Hood Status, Door Status, Trunk Status, Trunk
Release, Auxiliary Outputs, Ignition Output, Start Output, Accessory Output, Park Light Output, Horn Output,
Window Roll Up/Down, and more. These wires can be hard wired directly from the bypass module to the remote
starter module saving time. When using a bypass module with 2-Way communication most of these wires do
not need to be connected, in 1-Way communication some wires may be connected. Please see installation guide
of bypass module for more information. Solace is both 2-Way and 1-Way Data Compatible for both Fortin and
iDatalink bypass modules.
