PR PRE-INSTALLATIONCONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING,check all vehiclemanufacturer cautionsandwarnings regardingelectricalservice (AIR BAGS, ABS
BRAKES, ENGINE/ BODYCOMPUTER AND BATTERY).
PLANOUTYOUR INSTALLATION.Youshouldpre-determinethelocationofthe ControlModule(Brain),Valet button,
LED, and Sirenlocations. This willsave time and ease theinstallationprocess.
USE VOLT/OHM METER totest andlocate all connections. Test Lights or LightedProbes couldpossiblydamage a
vehicle’s computersystem or cause anairbag to deploy.
ADDITIONALPARTS,that are not included withthisunit, may be needed for yourparticular vehicle. These items may
include extra relays, Door Lock Interface Modules, or Transponder Override modules.
