This system can be configured in two different ways.
1. as an add-on security system to the vehicles factory keyless entry system.
2. as a full security system added to the vehicle.
This guide covers the installations of both configurations and is labeled respectively.
BLACK (-) CHASSIS GROUND
This wire is the main unit’s source of ground. DO NOT connect this wire to any factory ground points; they
can cause noise and/or current loss which can affect system performance. Ground the main unit and any
accessories to the same point in the vehicle, (preferably the kick panel). Scrape away any paint and use a
factory bolt or make your own ground with a self-tapping screw and a star washer
[Required connection for both configurations]
RED (+) 12V CONSTANT INPUT
This wire supplies power to the main units’ micro-controller. Remove the supplied fuse before connecting to
the positive terminal of the battery or a 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 15A fuse in the
harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module.
[Required connection for both configurations]
WHITE/BLACK LIGHT FLASH ISOLATION WIRE (PIN 87a of onboard relay)
This wire is a parking light flash input from the vehicle light switch that connects to pin 87a of the on-board
light flash relay. It is used for vehicles requiring light switch isolation during light flash output. For vehicles
with multiplex light circuits that require switch isolation, the on-board light flash fuse can be replaced with
the specified resistor value (paying attention to the circuit polarity). See diagram below for wiring informa-
tion.

WHITE PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT
This wire should be connected to the parking light wire in the vehicle. See setting the light flash polarity sec-
tion of this guide for polarity settings.
Note: For parking light circuits that draw 10 amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched to a (-)
light flash output. (See setting the light flash polarity section of this guide.) P/N 8617 or a standard automo-
tive SPDT relay must be used on the light flash output wire.
[Required connection for both configurations]
YELLOW (+) IGNITION INPUT
Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and
during cranking. Take care to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the vehicle chassis at any point.
[Required connection for both configurations]
RED/WHITE (-) 200mA TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT
When the system receives the code controlling trunk release, for longer than 1.5 seconds, the RED/WHITE
wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues (up to 25 seconds max). This is often used
to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function.
Important! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to a high current
device
[Optional connection for both configurations]
BROWN (-) 200mA HORN OUTPUT
This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle horn or it can be connected to
the (-) input of an optional siren.. It outputs a single pulse when locking the doors with the remote, and two
pulses when unlocking with the remote. This wire also outputs pulses for 30 seconds when Panic Mode is
activated. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used
on the horn output wire.
NOTE: This wire can be programmed as a siren output see features programming.
[Required connection for both configurations]
ORANGE (-) 500mA GROUND WHEN ARMED OUTPUT
This wire supplies a (-) 500 mA ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the
system is disarmed. The GWA can be hooked up to an optional starter kill relay, a voice module or any ac-
cessory that requires a ground when armed.
NOTE: If an optional remote start is added to the system, this wire will act as an anti-grind output.
[Optional connection for both configurations]
VIOLET (+) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT
This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a
wire that shows (+) 12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. [Required connec-
tion for both configurations but not required if the vehicle has a (-) door trigger circuit]
GREEN (-) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT
This wire is used in vehicles that have a negative (-) switched dome light circuit. Connect the green wire to a
wire that shows (-) when any door is opened, and (+)12V when the door is closed. [Required connection for
both configurations but not required if the vehicle has a (+) door trigger circuit]

3. If the system is armed, the trunk shunt input causes the trunk input and sensor to be bypassed until the
trunk is closed.
Note: trunk release bypass requires the Gray/black trunk shunt input and Blue trunk trigger input to be con-
nected to the vehicle to bypass when armed (see Gray/Black wire description for wiring information).
Dealer Security
The following instructions assume the use of a dealer master remote control.

1. Turn the ignition off and close the doors, hood, and trunk.
2. The LED flashes quickly for 30 seconds.
• An open door, trunk, or hood stops/resets the 30 second timer. If still open after 15 minutes the starter
kill becomes active.
3. The system arms as described when using a Dealer Master Remote.

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC)
NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered three times within an hour, bypasses them until
corrected. If a point of entry (trunk, hood, or door) is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It be-
comes active again only after being closed. Bypassed sensors automatically reset after one hour and after
the vehicle is driven. Disarming then re-arming the alarm does not reset bypassed sensors.
Long Term Event History
The system stores the last two full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees a full
trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory is replaced by the new trigger. To access long term event
history:
1. With the ignition Off, press and hold the Valet button
2. Turn the ignition On.
3. Release the Valet button.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Valet button. The status LED flashes in groups indicating the
last two zones that triggered the unit for 1 minute or until the ignition is turned off. Refer to table of
zones.
Note: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and are not reported.
Table of Zones
When arming the system with an active zone or when the system has been triggered, the LED will flash to
indicate the zone that is active or has been triggered. A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes
used by the system to identify a particular type of input.
LED Flashes Input Trigger
1Trunk Input
2Shock Sensor
3Door Trigger
4Not Used
5Ignition Trigger
6Hood Input
Note: The Pre-trigger does not report on the LED
Rapid Resume Logic
This system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the sys-
tem will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in valet mode and the battery is discon-
nected for any reason, such as servicing the vehicle, when the battery is reconnected the system will still be
in valet mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm and valet mode.

Troubleshooting: Alarm
Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm:
• Was the onboard shock sensor adjusted before the brain was mounted? If so re-adjust the sensor.
• Has the onboard shock sensor been turned down all the way? If so re-adjust the sensor
• Has the NPC® system been triggered? If so, you hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this,
turn the ignition key on and off to clear the NPC® memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a
detailed description of NPC®, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of this guide.
Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, sounds are heard for the first 3 seconds:
• That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system even if the
door is instantly closed again, the progression from pretrigger sounds to full trigger sounds contin-
ues.
Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:
• Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong
door input has been used.
System does not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:
• Is passive arming programmed ON?
• Are the door inputs connected? Is the blue or gray wire connected to the door trigger wire in the
vehicle?
• Either the green or the violet should be used instead.
Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:
• Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Table of Zones
section of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door un-
latching before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.
Door locks operate backwards.
• This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck wire connections to see if you have
reversed these.
