H1/1 RED (+)12V constant power input: Before
connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse.
Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant
12V supply to the ignition switch.
Note: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point
you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the fuse in the harness
for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
H1/2 BLUE (-) 200mA Second Unlock Output: The
H1/2 BLUE output is used for progressive unlock. This
system unlocks the driver’s door when the unlock button
is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the
unlock button is pressed again within 15 seconds after
unlocking the driver’s door. The BLUE wire outputs a
low current (-) pulse on the second press of the unlock
button of the transmitter. This negative unlock output is
used to unlock the passenger doors.
H1/3 BLACK/WHITE- Domelight Supervision Input: This
wire determines what the output polarity of H1/4 will be.
If the door pin circuit is negative, connect to chassis
ground. If the door circuit is positive, connect to a fused
12V source.
H1/4 BLACK/WHITE Domelight Supervision Output:
Connect this wire directly to the domelight circuit in
the vehicle. The on-board relay will drive circuits up to
30 amperes. The polarity of this output is determined

by the connection of the input wire H1/3 in the Relay
Harness.
Note: If the input wire H1/3 is not connected, there will
be no output on this wire.
H1/5 GREEN/BLACK Lock #30 Common (Output): The
system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly
interface with most electric power door lock systems
drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket
actuators directly. (Some vehicles require that an after-
market actuator be added to the driver’s door to allow
system control, see Type D wiring section in Tech Tip
Document 1041).
H1/6 WHITE/BLACK Lock #87A Normally Closed: See
H1/5.
H1/7 VIOLET/BLACK Lock #87 Normally Opened
(Input): See H1/5.
H1/8 BLUE/BLACK Unlock #30 Common (Output): See
H1/5.
H1/9 VIOLET Unlock #87 Normally Open (Input): See
H1/5.
H1/10 WHITE (+/-) Parking Light Flash Output: This
wire provides a high current + or - output to light flash
the parking lights (+ is factory default setting). If the
vehicle has a negative parking light circuit, the light

flash jumper on the control module must be moved.
H1/11 BLACK (-) Chassis Ground Input: This wire to a
clean, paint-free sheet metal location (driver kick panel)
using a factory bolt that DOES NOT have any vehicle
component grounds attached to it. A screw should only
be used in conjunction with a two-sided star washer.
Under dash brackets and door sheet metal are not
acceptable ground points. It is recommended that all
components be grounded at the same location.
H1/12 BROWN (-) Horn Honk Output: This wire supplies
a (-) 200mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle
horn*. It outputs a single pulse when the

button
is pressed twice (in rapid succession) or if the
is pressed before

. It outputs two pulses when the
button is pressed prior to

(See Owner’s Guide
for “Audible mode” operation). This wire will also output
pulses for 30 seconds when the Panic Mode is acti-
vated. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, an optional
relay can be used to interface with the system, as
shown below.

H1/12 BROWN
* The horn will honk only when in audible mode by pressing the

button on the remote twice or by pressing the button
on the remote prior to locking/unlocking.
H1/13 LT. GREEN/BLACK Factory Alarm Disarm: This
wire supplies a 200mA negative pulse when unlocking
or activating the trunk release with the transmitter.
H1/14 WHITE/BLUE (-) Channel 3 Output: This wire
provides a (-) 200mA output whenever the transmitter
code controlling Channel 3 is received. This output will
continue as long as that transmission is received. Use
for options such as Directed remote start system, 529T
or 535T power window controllers.
Important: Never use this wire to drive anything
but a relay or a low-current input. The transistorized
output can only provide 200mA of current. Connecting
directly to a solenoid motor cause failure.

H1/15 YELLOW (+) Switched Ignition Input: Connect
this wire to an ignition source. This input must show
(+)12V with the key in run position and during cranking.
Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the
chassis at any point.
TO IGNTION SYSTEM
H1/9 YELLOW
PRIMARY HARNESS
H1/16 ORANGE (-) 500mA Ground-When Locked
Output: This wire supplies a (-) 500mA ground as long
as the system is locked. This output ceases as soon as
the system is unlocked. This wire can be connected
to an optional Directed 8618 starter kill relay or to
another option such as a 529T or a 535T power window
controller.
Note: If using the H1/16 Orange wire to activate an
add-on accessory such as window automation, or
voice module - combined with an optional starter relay,
a 1-Amp diode must be installed to ensure proper
operation. Insert the diode as shown the the following
diagram.

H1/17 BROWN/BLACK Unlock #87A Normally Closed:
See H1/5.
H1/18 RED/WHITE channel 2, 200mA (-) output: When
the system receives the transmitter code controlling
Channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white
wire will supply an output as long as the transmission
continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch
release or other relay-driven functions.
Important:Never use this wire to drive anything but a
relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output
can only supply 200mA of current. Connecting directly
to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will
cause it to fail.
