INSTALLATION CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
**FOR SAFETY REASONS, DO NOT INSTALL in vehicles with MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS.** If accidentally left in
gear, a remote started vehicle could become a self-propelled threat to life and property.
DO NOT extend the Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main harness reaches all ignition
switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor or improper performance.
DO NOT routeanywiringthatmaybecomeentangledwithbrake,gaspedals,steeringcolumnoranyothermovingparts
in the vehicle.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe this warning will
result in damage to the unit not covered under warranty.
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage!Make sure that the garage door is open or there is adequate
ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon Monoxide fumes.
PROGRAM/OVERIDE SWITCH AND LED
PROGRAM/OVERRIDE SWITCH: 2 PIN PLUG (REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMMING & LEARNING REMOTES)
This switch is used for programming features, transmitters, valet mode, and to override the optional starter disable (if
installed) in the event of a non-operatingremote control.
LED: 2 PIN PLUG (OPTIONAL)
The LED is used as a VALET/PROGRAMMING indicator and it will also FLASH for use as security deterrent when
Remotely Locking the door.

POWER DOOR LOCK WIRING Cont.
Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors
Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicledoors.
Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth
Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (+12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock the
vehicledoors.
Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90’s GM Trucks
The door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock and unlock switches in the door. The lock and
unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the lock or unlock button is pressed, one of the circuits
is “Lifted” and replaced with +12V causing a lock or unlock to occur.
Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some 2000-UP GM
Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative ground
current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle’s Body Computer Module (BCM) or door lock
module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock. Single wire door lock systems
require relays and resistors.
Databus Systems 2003-UP GM Trucks & SUV’s, ‘96-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Databussystemssendlowcurrent“Datamessages”tothe door lock controllersona network in ordertolockandunlock
the vehicle. To install aftermarket systems in these vehicles, an interface module is required that converts the regular
lock/unlock pulses into “Data messages” to allow locking & unlocking. Interface modules are sold separately.

PIN 3: GREEN: (-) START ACTIVATION INPUT, OEM INTERFACE or TURBO TIMER INPUT
See descriptions & diagrams below.
Mode (1) [Default (-) Neg. Start Activation] This wire
allows a host (or parent) alarm’s or keyless entry system
to activate a Remote Start by sending a 1-Second
NegativesignaltotheGreeninputwiretotriggeraremote
engine start or stop. Connect the Green wire to the host
system’s Auxiliary channel output wire.
Mode (2) [Alternate OEM Interface] This mode allows the
system to Remote Start or Stop when 3 successive
Negative pulses are sent to the Green input wire.
Connect the Green input wire to the Negative lock signal
wire of the factory system. If your Factory OEM system
does not have this type of signal, then a relay is required.
Mode (3) [TURBO TIMER INPUT [No programming
required] this wire allows the system to keep a vehicle
running for 1-5 minutes [selectively] after removing the
key. This mode requires the use of a momentary switch
that is not included with the kit. Connect a 2-pole
momentary switch with one side to chassis Ground and
the other side to the Green input wire. If you own a turbo
or turbo diesel vehicle, you can now allow the
EZEESTART system to keep your engine running for 1-5
minutes after exiting/locking your vehicle to cool-down
without the need for an external “Turbo Timer”.
NOTE: The turbo timer button will also trigger a remote start if it is inadvertently pressed when the vehicle is
not running. Please note this when installing the button and choose a location out of harm’s way.

WIRING Cont.
PIN 4: BROWN/WHITE: (-) HORN CHIRP/HONK OUTPUT
Connect to the LOW CURRENT Negative Horn Trigger wire usually located near the steering column. If the vehicle
horn circuit requires +12V, then a relay is required. RELAY WIRING: Connect the Yellow/White wire to terminal #85,
connect relay terminals #86 and #87 to +12V constant power. Connect terminal #30 to the +12V positive Horn
activationwire.
PIN 5: YELLOW/BLACK: (-) IGNITION OUTPUT -or-ANTI-GRIND/STARTER DISABLE OUTPUT
This negative output wire is programmable and can function two different ways. It can be used as a Negative Ignition
output for GM Anti-theftand TransponderBypass modules,or itcan beprogrammed tofunction as an Anti grind/Starter
Disable output. As a Negative Ignition wire, this wire turns on when the remote start button is pressed and stays on
throughthe durationof theremote start. As an Antigrind/Starter disablethis wireactivates whenthe Lockbutton on the

“SMART TACHLESS” MODE
YourEZEESTARTsystemincludesauniquevoltagemonitorcalled“SmartTachless”mode. Thismodeallowsthisunitto
efficiently start an engine without the use of a tach signal wire. These modules actively monitor the voltage level of the
vehicle to control the starter motor each time a remote start is requested.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1)SETUP may berequired for theEZEESTART“SmartTachless”Mode. Ifyourvehiclehasnotbeenatrestforaperiod
oftime(Hot engine),then youmustdrainthe surfacechargefromthe battery. Unplug mainpowerharnessfrom unit,
turn HEADLIGHTS ON for 4 minutes to drain off excess surface charge on vehicle’s battery then reconnect.
(2)On therareoccasion that“SmartTachless” modedoesnot operate satisfactorily,change the voltagereferencelevel
as described below, or use a different mode such as “Tach” mode, or “Timed Crank” mode.
“SMART TACHLESS” ADJUSTMENT:
In the event “Smart Tachless” over-cranks or under-cranks your starter, the settings can be changed. The purpose of
adjusting the “Smart Tachless” Mode is to raise or lower the voltage reference threshold from the 93% default point.
Raisingorloweringthis 93%pointshouldincreaseordecreaseyourcrankingtimerespectively. Theadjustmentrangeis
from 79% to 100% in one percent increments. Follow steps below to adjust the reference level.
1. Open hood (or ground Blue wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Turn the key to the ON position (Pink wire must be connected!)
3. Press program button 5 times, after a few seconds the unit will flash the lights and/or honk horn 5 times.
4. Carefullypress theprogrambutton 21timestogettooptionlevel 21. Youmustget a lightflashand/orhornhonk after
each press. If the lights didn’t flash and/or horn does not honk, then the unit did not register your button press. Only
count the light flash and/or horn honk.
5. Press the Lock Button #1 on the remote to decrease by 1% (lightswillflash andand/orhornhonk 1Xforeachpress);
Press the Unlock Button #2 to increase by 1% (lights will flash and/orhonk horn 2X for each press); Press the Trunk
Button #3 to reset to 93% (lights will flash 3X). The unit will stop providing light flashes when you reach the bottom
(79%) or the top (100%) of the adjustment range. If you lost track, then just press Button #3 to reset back to 93%and
begin raising or lower again.
6. Turn Ignition OFF, Close hood (or un-ground the Blue wire) and check operation.

TACH FINDER & USEFUL TIPS
TACH FINDER MODE:
This Tach Finder mode can assist in locating a Tach source for your installation. When following the steps, the unit will
begin to flash the parking lights if you have the WHITE/RED wireconnected to a tach source. If lights do not flash, then
try another wire until you locate a tach signal that will cause the Parking lights to flash. NOTE: On some vehicles
equipped with daytime running lights, it may be difficult to see any flashing parking lights. In this case your only
notification will be the slight “ticking” sound coming from the module’s flashing light relay.
TACH FINDER STEPS:
1. Open hood (or ground Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Start Engine with the key. (Pink wire must be connected!)
3. Press the Program button for 2 seconds
4. Lights will begin flashing if the WHITE/RED wire is connected to a valid tach source. If not try a different tach wire.
5. Once Tach is located then turn off engine and close hood to abort (Remove Blue wire from ground).
6. Now follow the Tach Programming steps.
TACH FINDER TIP: Cold Weather /High Idle Simulation:
The tach finder mode can also be used to help determine how your EZEESTART system may operate in a cold
weather situation. Once you have a valid tach source programmed into your system, follow test steps below.
1. Go back into the tach finder mode.
2. You should have a consistent light flash (like directional or emergency flashers).
3. Slowly raise the RPM level on your vehicle to simulate a “warm-up idle” that is higher than the normal idle level.If and
when the lights STOP flashing. Means that this is the point at which the tach signal is out of range of the system.
4. We recommend that you bring the RPM level up to between 1000 and 1500 RPMs to simulate a cold morning idle.
5. If the lights stop flashing too quickly, then we recommend using another tach source. This may help prevent the engine
from starting and stalling in the morning or cold weather.

TACH PROGRAMMING & TACH SIGNALS
INTRODUCTION
Tachsignalswillvaryinlevelsandfrequenciesdependingonmanyfactorsincludingthetypeofvehicleandthesourceof
the signal. The signals from a vehicle’s injector wire and coil packwire can vary greatly even on the same engine. The
tach signal from an engine can also be affectedby othersources suchas electronicnoise fromthe ignitionor computer
modules. Recent improvements have been made to the circuitry to allow this EZEESTART system to sense a wider
range of tach signals than previousmodels.
TACH MODE
TheTachmode providesreliableremotestartingperformancethroughenginespeed(RPM) sensing. Whenusing Tach
ReferenceMode,theWHITE/REDwireisusedforTachsignal[EngineRPM]input. Mostmodernenginesincludevarious
pointswheretheEngineSpeed[Tach]orA/Csignalmaybeobtained. TachSignalexamples:Negative(-)sideofignition
coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor. Sometimes Fuel
injectors and Alternator stator pins can be used. These Tach Signallocations mentioned are provided as a guide. Your
vehicle may differ. Some locations will NOT be a good location for Tach source due to RF noise or Computer Data.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
1. Open hood (or groundBlue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed.)
2. WHITE/RED wire should be connected to a valid Tach source.
3. Start engine with key. (Pink wire must be connected!)
4. Press program button 5 times, then wait for 5 light flashes and/or 5 horn honks.
5. Push program button more once. (You must get one light flash and/orhonk after button is pressed.) This unit is
now at option #1-TachLearning.
6. Press the #1 Lock Button on remote transmitter. The unit will read the Tach source and flash the lights and or
honk once for program confirmation. (On EZ1300DP models without remote transmitters, press the brake pedal in
this step.)
7. If lights do not flash for confirmation, then try another tach source or try the tach finder to locate another wire
EXAMINING THE TACH FREQUENCY WITH A DIGITAL MULTI-METER
If you own a Digital Multi-Metermeter with a frequency counter setting, it can be helpful to measure and research the range of tach signal
from your particular engine. When probing your chosen tach wire, observe the frequency reading from the meter at both the warm/low
engine idle and cold/high engine idle points. Tach signals ranging between 70Hz and 700Hz are desired. If your tach wire has readings
that are not in this range, the unit may not operate properly. The frequency of the tach wire in this range does not guarantee operation. If
you cannot locate a good tach source from your engine, then you can switch your EZEESTART system to the “Smart Tachless” or “Timed
Crank”.

18
TIMED CRANK MODE
Thisfeatureprovidesaneasymethodofstartingthevehiclewithoutlocatinganexacttachwire. Thesystemusesatimed
cranking output combined with the use of the WHITE/RED tach wire as an engine ON/OFF monitor. The WHITE/RED
Tach wire must still be used in this mode of operation. THIS FEATURE MUST BE PROGRAMMED BEFORE USE!
THERE ARE 2 LEVELS of programming required: First, set the system for “Timed Crank” operation, and secondly you
may need to adjust the amount of cranking time. There are 4 different crank times available for use. SEE OPTION
PROGRAMMING CHART ON PAGE 20-21 FOR SETTINGS.
HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE:
1. Gotothe“ProgrammableOptions”section ofthismanual,and turn “ON”Option#15"TimedCrank".(Itisnormallyon
Tach Monitor)
2. With “Timed Crank” turned ON, you will STILL have to connect the WHITE/RED Tach wire to a tach source on the
engine. The WHITE/RED Tach wire becomes a simple “Engine Monitor”. Although the unit will not be using the
WHITE/REDwiretostartthemotor,itwillbeusingthiswiretodeterminewhetherthemotorisrunningornot. Thisisa
mandatory connection. A “crude” or “less exact” tach source can be used only when in “Time Crank” mode.

WARNING: This method of starting the vehicle is not as reliable as using regular “Tach” or Smart Tachless
modes. This method should be used only in the event that a tach wire cannot be located using the normal tach
programming and tach finder. When using this method, there may be certain operating anomalies requiring
seasonal adjustments. These are, but not limited to:
•Startermayunder-crankinextreme cold weather.Vehiclemaynot start on1st attemptandmay require a2nd or3rd try.
•In warm weather when your vehicle may start very quickly, “Timed Crank” mode may tend to over-crank the starter.
•The only ways to correct the above issues are to go to Option #18and adjust the cranking time.

PROGRAMMING CHART on Pages20-21.
HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE:
1. See the “Option Programming” section on Pages 20-21 and change Option #19from "Monitor Glow Plug Light" to
one of the delayed time values. (Default setting is to always monitor the PINK Glow Plug input wire.)
2. Once this option has changed,the system will wait for the selected time before cranking.
