Engine Checking Mode:
The engine checking mode on all CARBINE remote start systems is set at
“Wireless Tach” by default. Once all the wiring is complete and correct, the
engine can be remote started without any other changes.
Engine type, Extreme weather etc. may require a more defined type of
engine checking for reliable operation. Use the information enclosed to
setup alternate engine checking modes.
Wireless Tach Learning
1. After the installation is completed, use the CARBINE key fob and
initiate the remote start sequence.
2. If the engine does not start on the first attempt, let the CARBINE
module cycle and attempt to start the engine again. Up to (3) cranking
attempts may be needed to start and run the engine.
3. When the engine starts and runs, let it run for at least 30 seconds.
4. Use the CARBINE key fob to shut down the engine.
Wireless Tach is programmed.
Hardwire Tach or Data Tach
- Hardwire Tach requires the Lt.Violet/White wire to be connected to
a fuel injector wire or a coil wire.
- Check the data bypass module spec to make sure it will provide a data
tach signal. Additional pre-programming of the data module may be
required. Refer to the data module instructions.
To learn the tach signal
1. Start the vehicle with the key.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the valet button on the RCC.
3. Once the tach signal is learned, the blue LED on the RCC will
light or flash.
- When tach learning from a hardwire connection, the parking
lights will flash one time
- When tach learning via the data module, the parking lights will
flash two times.
Note: Depending on the data bypass module used, you may have to put
the bypass module into tach learning mode first before performing the
above procedure. Review the instructions of the data bypass module
before proceeding.
Pairing a Remote Controller:
The CARBINE remote controllers provided with this kit have already been
paired to the control module. In the event that the pairing is lost or an
additional remote needs to be paired, follow the enclosed procedure.
1. Open the drivers door.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the RCC button.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the RCC button. The LED will flash, and
the horn/siren will chirp one time. You are now in remote pairing mode.
Release the RCC button.
- If programming a 4-button remote
Press and hold the button, then press and release the button
five times. The LED on the CARBINE remote will steady flash.
The remote will stay in this state for 60 seconds.
- If programming a 2-button remote
Press and hold the button, then press and release the button five
times. The LED on the CARBINE remote will steady flash.
The remote will stay in this state for 60 seconds.
5. Press and release the LOCK button on the CARBINE remote.
The horn/siren will chirp one time to conform the code is learned.
6. Turn OFF the ignition key. The horn/siren will long chirp to confirm
exit of remote pairing mode.
Remote Start Shutdown Diagnostics
If the remote starter activates but the engine fails to remain running, a
diagnostic procedure can be run to try and determine where the fault
in the system is.
To Perform Shutdown Diagnostics
1. With the ignition key Off, press and hold the RCC button.
2. While holding the RCC button, turn the ignition key On then Off.
3. Release the RCC button.
4. Press and release the RCC button one time.
The RCC LED will report the last shutdown reason for 1 minute or
until the ignition key is turned On again. Compare the LED flashes
to the chart below.
Status LED Flashes Reason for Shutdown
1 Over-Rev Shutdown
2 Runtime Expired
3Shutdown by Transmitter (or
Optional Push button)
4 Low or No RPM Detection
5 Hood Open Shutdown
6 (+) Brake Shutdown
7 (-) Parking Brake Shutdown
9Low Vehicle Battery (Voltage
Checking Mode Only)
Reset and Deletion
If the programmable features need to be reset to default or the
Wireless Tach feature needs to be reset for re-programming,
follow the enclosed procedure.
1. Open the drivers door.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ON position
3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the RCC button the number
of times required below to perform the task.
- Press and release the RCC button two times to delete all of the
programmed remote controls.
- Press and release the RCC button three times to delete all features
programming back to their default settings.
Note: This procedure does not erase Wireless Tach information.
- Press and release the RCC button four times to erase all pre-learned
Wireless Tach information.
4. Once you have selected the function you want to perform, press and
hold the RCC button. The RCC LED will flash and the horn will chirp
(if connected) to confirm the functional step chosen. Do Not release
the button.
