NOTICE TO INSTALLERS! 

 

The control module in this kit must  

be installed according tothe type of  

vehicle on which it is to be used. 

It is delivered in “Manual” mode, with factory 

programming: see programming level 1. 

Please read the following warnings before 

proceeding with installation! 

 

 

WARNING!  

INSTALLATION ON VEHICLE  

WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: 

When set to “Automatic” mode, the control  

module does not take gearshift lever position into 

account when remote starting, as this function 

is factory-installed on most new vehicles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To ensure safe installation of this,  

 product check the following:  

 

 

1.

 

Ensure that vehicle cannot be remote started while in 
gear. 

2.

 

Also ensure that gearshift lever cannot be moved out 
of “Park” position without depressing brake pedal.  

 

If engine can be started while transmission is in gear  

or gearshift lever can be moved out of “Park” position  

without depressing brake pedal, call our Technical  

Support Department toll-free at 1-800-461-8223. 

 

A TECHNICAL ADVISOR WILL GIVE YOU AN  

APPROPRIATE, SAFE SOLUTION FOR THE MAKE  

AND MODEL OF VEHICLE YOU ARE WORKING ON. 

 

 

WARNING!  

INSTALLATION ON VEHICLE WITH 

MANUAL TRANSMISSION: 

 

When set to “Manual” mode, the 

control module does not take gearshift lever 

position into account when remote starting. 

It is designed to require the user to ensure  
the gearshift lever is in “neutral” position to 

enable reception of a start command. 

 

 

To ensure safe installation of this  

product, check the following:  

 

3.

 

Ensure that all vehicle door pinswitches are 
operational and parking brake is functional (i.e. 
capable of immobilizing vehicle). 

4.

 

When installation is complete, check the doors and the 
hatchback (by opening each one individually) to 
ensure that opening any of them interrupts the safety 
sequence which allows the system to perform a 
remote start. 

5.

 

Ensure that it is impossible to access the vehicle 
gearshift lever without opening a door or the 
hatchback. 

For convertible vehicles, it is strongly recommended 

to add a (microwave) motion detector to prevent remote 

 start if activity is detected near the gearshift lever. 

6.

 

Be sure to give user manual to customer. 

7.

 

Be sure to affix the two warning stickers in the 
appropriate locations: 

 

the smaller one must be visible on the driver’s 
side window; 

 

the other must be affixed near the hood latch. 

8.

 

Be sure to hang the “For your safety” card from rear-
view mirror. 

 

If gearshift lever can be accessed without opening  

any door, or if any door (no matter which one) can be  

opened without interrupting the safety sequence, call our 
Technical Support Department toll-free at 1-800-461-8223.

DIAGNOSTIC CODES 

Code   Reason for interruption 

Engine stop signal sent by remote control / pulse input - 
H10. 

Engine stop signal sent by depressing brake pedal. 

No tach reading (RPM).  
Note: If the engine is not running during a start cycle, it 
is normal for no tach signal to be generated.  This 
situation may arise if the vehicle is equipped with an 
immoblilization system (anti-theft); ensure that any such 

system is suitably interfaced.  

Hood open. 

Engine stop signal sent by manual interface  
(invalid sequence). 

Ignitiion key already in “ON” position.  

Main switch “OFF”. 

Runtime elapsed. 

10 

Failure to start after three attempts. 
Note: If the engine starts and then suddenly stops  
during a start cycle, the vehicle may be equipped  
with an immobilization system (anti-theft); ensure  
that any such system is suitable interfaced. 

11  Tach signal already detected during start attempt.  

13 

RPM below idle speed. Note: May be due to number of 
cylinders incorrectly set. 

14  Safety sequence interrupted by parking brake. 
15  Safety sequence interrupted by door being opened. 
16  Internal failure. 
17  Module programmed via receiver connector (Multi Test II). 

18 

Power supply below 8VDC or above 15 VDC or system 
improperly grounded.  

19 

Manual interface incorrectly connected to remote start 
module. 

20  Set to “Manual Transmission” mode by system.  
21  System reset. 

SAFETY SEQUENCE NOT ACCEPTED  
If the control module refuses to validate the safety sequence, note 
that the code must be read before the brakes are applied or a 
start command is emitted, as these actions will replace the 
existing code by a code “6” and you will have no indication of the 
reason for failure to start.  
If no code is generated, the manual interface may be the cause 
for one of the following reasons: 

 

A door was open. 

 

The parking brake had not been applied. 

 

The engine was not running at the time of the sequence (no 
power to ignition or no tachometer signal detected).
