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.
A TECHNICAL ADVISOR WILL GIVE YOU AN
APPROPRIATE, SAFE SOLUTION FOR THE MAKE
AND MODEL OF VEHICLE YOU ARE WORKING ON.
DIAGNOSTIC CODES
Code
Reason for interruption
1 Engine stop signal sent by remote control / pulse input -
H10.
2 Engine stop signal sent by depressing brake pedal.
4
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.
5 Hood open.
6 Engine stop signal sent by manual interface
(invalid sequence).
7 Ignitiion key already in “ON” position.
8 Main switch “OFF”.
9 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).
