Flashing the Hood Pin 

What is Flashing the Hood Pin? 

It is a procedure that makes the Module go into the Programming Centre.  Once the Module 
is in the Programming Centre, the Installer has no more than 20 seconds to get into one of 
the sub-menus.  

Failure to do so will result in the Module exiting the Programming 

Centre and the Installer will have to 

Flash the Hood Pin 

once more.   

 

Remember

:

 You can use the Programming Assistance 

Button instead of the Hood Pin any time the Hood is up.

Pin once more.

Release the Hood Pin again --be careful not to over 
flash the Hood Pin as this will bring up the Events 
Playback and will not bring you the Programming 
Centre. 

“ON” for 20 seconds 

 

5-

 

You now have 20 seconds to select one of the sub-
menus. 

 

Once inside the Programming Centre, the Installer has a selection of many different sub-
menus.  Once you are in the Programming Centre, you have the option of the following 
menus: 

a)

 

Transmitter Programming ………………….. 

p.10 

b)

 

Options Programming …………………..… 

p.11 

c)

 

Honk Horn Timing* (*if available) ………..… 

p.12 

d)

 

Tach Programming …………………..……… 

p.13 

 

Remember:

  You have up to 20 seconds, once the Parking Lights are on Solid, to select a sub-

menu, Failure to do so will result in the Module exiting the Programming Centre and the Installer 
will have to Flash the Hood Pin once more. 

 

The Programming 

Assistance Button 

(A.k.a. PAB.)  

The PAB 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 PAB 

will work only when the 
Hood is up.
