STEERING COLUMN LOCK BYPASS
To achievecomplete keylessignition,OEM steering columnlock anti-theft feature needs to be
bypassed. We do not recommend disabling thesteering column lock permanentlyby removing the
cylinder lock, however the “Shaved-Key” method is an easy and completely reversible way to bypass
this function:
1. Havea local locksmith duplicated a factorykey.
Note:Do notmodifyfactorykeys,it is not required.Duplicate the key blade onlynot the RFchipinside.
2. Mark on the keywhenit is fullyinserted into thekeycylinder.
3. With the help of pliers and cutter,shaveoff the keyabovethe marking.
4. Insert the shaved keyinto the keycylinderand switch to ACC position.
5. Optionally,cover the keycylinderwith optionalkeycover to concealthekeycylinder.
6. BypassvehicleACC and Keysenseinput asshown in thefollowing Wiring Diagram.

This wiring method also taking into considerationthat a shaved-keyhas been used in ACC position for
steering lockbypass.Disconnect theACC input to thevehicleso shaved-keyleft in thekey cylinder's
ACC positiondoesnot consumevehiclebattery.To retainthefullfunctionalityof thekeycylinder,add a
toggle or latch switch (not included)at the ACC disconnect. This switch allows manual enable/
disabletheACC input to thevehicle.
To bypass the Push-Start system and operatethe vehicle with OEM key,close theswitch to enable
ACC and removethe shaved-keyfromthekeycylinderand insert OEM keyto operatethevehicle
normally.
Note: There are multiple ways to bypasssteering column.Advanced Keys does not recommend permanent disabling
the mechanism and is not responsible for anydamage,theft and accidents which could result from steering
lock bypass modification in anyways or forms.

KEYSENSE FUNCTION BYPASS (OPTIONAL)
Note:Wiring method above is intended as a general reference and it does not necessarilyrepresent the specific
vehiclerequirement.
Most vehicle has an mechanical key trigger that gets activated when a key is inserted into the key
cylinder. Keysense input usually activates certain pre-programmed reactions such as (not limited to)
door-chime, turn ON dome light, headlight and instrument cluster illumination, disabling the OEM
remote/key's ability to lock/unlock doors and release trunk etc. Since the steering column lock bypass
requireakeyto be present inthecylinder,somevehicle’s keysensetriggermayneed to be bypassed.
Check and verifyKeysenseinput polarityand connect as follow:
•(+)Bypass Module Control Output to PositiveTriggered KeysenseInput
•(-)Ground-When-Running Output to NegativeTriggered KeysenseInput
This system features a standard Toyota design/manufactured push-start button switch which provide
OEM look as well as tested durability. Install/mount the push start button on a firm and flat surface that
is directly accessible and within an arm’s reach by the driver. Use suggested locations as shown
below. An exact 40mm±0.25mm diameter circular cut-out is needed to securely mount the button
without the Button Ring Mount. When install with the Button Ring Mount, the circular cut-out can be
between40-45mm.SeePush-Button Cut-Out section below for detailed method inmaking a cut-out.

2. Makesureshifter is inPark or Neutralposition.
3. If this is amanual transmissionvehicle, theclutch will need to be bypassed.
4. Check voltageand for openfuses onthe main8-pinharness Battery12v+ inputs.
5. Makesure thestarterwireis connected on the starterside of the optional starter kill relay
6. Check connections.Make surethat all harnessesconnectorsare fullyplugged into the module
with no back-outpinsand it is making solid connections to thevehiclewiring.
The vehicle starts,butimmediatelystops:
1. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer can cut the fuel and/or spark
during unauthorized STARTand it needs to be bypassed.
2. Is thesystemprogrammed for Tach Ignition? If so, reprogramTach assignal maybetoo low. See
IGNITION TESTAND TROUBLESHOOTING sectionfor moreinfo.
3. Is thesystemprogrammed for Tachless Ignition? If so, makesurebutton is pressed long enough
to allow engineto runon its own.
The vehicle starts,butthe starter over / under crank when start:
1. Is the system programmed for Tach ignition? If so, follow “Reprogram Tach Ignition” steps as
shownin theIGNITION TESTANDTROUBLESHOOTING section.
2. Check the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or shorted
to ground leading to thesystem.
3. Is an ignition or accessoryoutput wire connected to thestarterwire of the vehicle? Verifythe
colorof the starter wire inthevehicleand confirmthat anignitionor anaccessoryoutput is not
connected to that wire.
Whyisthe systemturnsthe IgnitionON everytime I connect powerto it?
As asafetyfeatureto prevent power sag/flashor suddenlossof power whilesystemis running
(RUNmode),it will default backto RUNModewhen power is resumed.To exit RUNmode,apply
thebrakeand pressand hold thebutton for 2+ sec to switch backto READY or OFFmode.
Whyisbutton status LED flashing Green/Red when attempt to crank the engine?
Check battery,thereis not enough power to crankengineand keep systemrunning at the same
time.Systemrequired minimum10v to operateand if voltage drops below 10v whilestarteris
engaged it will effectivelyturnOFFthesystem.Thiscausethe Ignition/Start to drop out
simultaneously. Status LEDflashes Green/Red to indicate system is initializing/rebooting after
power hasbeenrestored.
Whyismypush button turnflashing green after started?
System failed to senseTachduring start and defaulted backto IGNITON ON Mode.Turnvehicle
OFFfirst bypresspush-start buttononce(DO NOTAPPLYBRAKE).VerifyTachsignaloutput
from the vehicleand perform Tach Ignitionprogramming.
If engine is running DO NOT attempt to STARTagain. (Press the Push-Start
buttonwhile brake is applied) Thiswillcause the engine to over crank.

output signalfrom vehicleor installanseparate brakeinput triggerswitch at thebrake.DO NOT
modifyOEM vehiclebrake sensor/switch under any circumstances.
I can’t/how do I enter Tach programming mode?
Seepage8 for Tach Ignition Programming Instructions.Makesureto hold thebutton while
applying brakefive-times and releasethebutton at the fifthtimewhen brakeis applied.
Whyis the jumpers settingchange is not working?
Makesureto disconnect thetwo +12v input power to reboot systemforsetting changesto take
effect.
The remote-start buttonwill not activate the remote start:
