Recommended Installation Procedures
Under Hood Connections -
Route the hood pin and tach wire through the firewall
into the engine compartment. If possible route the wires through a factory rubber
grommet. If drilling a hole through the firewall,
BE CAREFUL
. Always check for
obstructions on both sides of the firewall. After drilling, use a snap in grommet to protect
the wires from sharp edges. Use split loom to insulate the wires, route the wires clear
of moving parts and extreme heat. The hood pin switch must always be installed and
the tach wire should always be soldered and taped properly.
Proper Connections -
Remote Starters can handle loads of up to 30 amps for
extended periods of time. It is critical to insure that all high current connections are
properly soldered and insulated with quality electrical tape. Failing to insure proper
connections will result in warranty being VOID and can result in damage to the vehicle
and remote starter module. The manufacturer is not responsible for any such damages.
It only takes a few more minutes to do the job right.
Mounting The Control Module -
Never
mount the module in the engine compartment. Select a location under the dash
to install the main module. Be certain that the module is securely attached and does not
obstruct any serviceable areas. Do not force or jam the module into tight places instead
of mounting. The module must be free from all moving parts such as brake, clutch and
gas pedal linkages. Do not place the module directly in front of a heater vent.
Installing the External Long Range Antenna -
To insure the best possible reception, place the antenna in the center of the windshield
below the tint screen and behind the rear view mirror. Before attaching to the glass
ensure that the surface is clean and dry. Run the cable under the head liner and behind
the A-pillar panel. Be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. Plug the antenna into the
BLUE
connector on the Control Module.
Testing The System -
When the installation is complete, it will be necessary to test
that the system is working correctly. The system’s default programming will work on the
majority of vehicles, but might need to be adjusted for some applications. If the
installation requires special timing or additional features, proceed to Program Mode.
The system must be Tach Learned (Tachless learned on Tachless models) before the
remote starter will make a start attempt. If the remote starter does not make a start
attempt check if the park lights are flashing a diagnostic code, if so look the code up in
the Diagnostic Chart to find the shutdown input that is preventing the system from
starting. If the vehicle does make a start attempt but fails to start. Check all connections
and insure that all wiring is connected correctly. The vehicle may be equipped with a
factory anti-theft system. Vehicles equipped with factory anti-theft systems will usually
have some sort of
Security
or
Anti-Theft
light located in the instrument cluster.
