PROFESSIONALINSTALLATION
STRONGLYRECOMMENDED
Installation Precautions:
Roll down window to avoid locking keys in vehicle
during installation
Avoid mounting components or routing wires near
hot surfaces
Avoid mounting components or routing wires near
moving parts
Tape or loom wires under hood for protection and
appearance
Technical Support [phone]
or go to
http://techservices.codesystems.com
Use a Digital Multi Meter for testing and verifying
circuits. DO NOT USE ATEST LIGHT, OR
"COMPUTER SAFE PROBE" as these can set off air
bags or damage vehicle computers.
Use grommets when routing wires through metal
surfaces

7 BLUE/BLACK START STATUS /ACTIVE OUTPUT ( - )
This wire provides a ground output when the remote start function is activated
and remains until 4 seconds after the remote start is shutdown. If this wire will
be used for multiple application's a 1 amp diode is required in-line with the stripe
facing the control module.
9 GRAY HOODPIN INPUT(- )
Install a Hood Pin Switch and connect to the GRAY wire. This connection is
required for Remote Start.
Verification: This wire when connected will register ground when the
vehicle's hood is opened.
Connect the GRAY wire to the hood pin.
NOTE: Be sure to loom the wire, and seal the grommet.
10 BROWN/RED BRAKE INPUT ( + )
Locate the vehicle’s brake light wire at the brake pedal mounted switch. This
connection is required for Remote Start.
Verification: This wire registers positive voltage when the brake pedal is
pressed.
Connect the BROWN/RED wire to the vehicle’s brake light wire.
8 PURPLE/WHITE TACHINPUT
Locate the vehicle’s ignition coil or fuel injector in the engine compartment.
Verification: Test using the following procedure:
1. Set voltmeter to AC VOLTS.
2. Attach positive lead of a volt meter to a constant 12-volt source.
3. Attach negative lead of a volt meter to the wire to be tested.
4. Start the engine.
5. Have someone press on the gas pedal slightly as you monitor the meter. If
connected to the correct wire, the voltage reading will increase as the engine’s
RPM increases.
Connect the PURPLE/WHITE wire to the negative side of the vehicle ignition coil
or fuel injector.
