Pin #7 : White This is the
(-) 250mA horn honk
output wire.
Pin #7 :
Brown /Black
This is the trigger input for a
(-) glow plug wire
.
Pin #8 :
Brown /White
This is the trigger input for a (+) glow plug wire.
Pin #9 : Yellow/ Black This wire serves as the Tachometer input or the
Alternator input. Either way you use it, it is for engine sensing. This wire
tells the CompuStar when to quit cranking the starter of the vehicle.
There are a couple of ways to find the correct voltage for either type of
sensing. Please review the following tips on the next page.
Tachometer Sensing
1. You will need an Auto Ranging Digital Meter to test for the correct tach.
2. Most tach wires are located at the (-) side of the ignition coil. In some cases
you may have to go to the ECU or Coil pack.
3. The Voltage will read (AC), so you will need to set you meter accordingly.
4. With the vehicle off the voltage should read 0.00 AC.
5. Start the vehicle and at this time the voltage should fluctuate between 1 and 8 volts AC.
6. Connect the tachometer wire to the yellow/black.
7. Make sure that the Dipswitch #1 is set to the On position.
8. While the vehicle is running press the small black button on the side of the brain,
Parking Light will flash once if you have the correct Tach wire.
9. If the cars parking lights flash 3 times, there is a problem with the tachometer
learning. Wait for 2 seconds and the cause for the error will be indicated by the
number of times the parking lights flash.
10. Diagnosing Tach Learning Error
Pin #4 : Violet/ Black This wire is the
(-) trigger input,
which may be
connected to a
trunk pin or trunk trigger as a buyer option.
Pin #5 : Red/White This wire is the
(-) trigger input for the door trigger
. You
would connect this to the trigger that shows (-) when the door is opened.
Pin #6 : Red This wire is the
(+) input for the door trigger
. You would
connect this to the trigger that shows (+) when the door is opened.
Pin #1 : Light Blue This needs to be connected to the
parking brake.
This wire requires a (-) input to activate. This wire serves two functions:
1. To engage Reservation Mode for manual transmissions, reference
the users or install guide.
2. To activate the Turbo Timer, reference the users or install guide.
Pin #2 : Gray/ Black This is the
(-) shutdown for the Hood Trigger
. This wire
serves two functions:
1. It prevents the remote start from activating while the hood is open
2. It will trigger a full alarm if the hood is opened when the alarm has
been armed.
Pin #3 : Light Blue/ White This is the
(+) shutdown for the foot brake.
This wire will shut down the remote start if the foot brake is pressed.
If the cars parking lights flash 3 times, there is a problem with the
tachometer learning. Wait for 2 seconds and the cause for the error
will be indicated by the number of times the parking lights flash.
(generally you will have to change the polarity with a relay) will simulate
the door opening 0.5 seconds before the lock pulse, and will keep the
simulated door open until 0.5 seconds after the lock pulse has ended.
Pin #6 : Orange/White This is the Disarm wire. It provides you with a
(-) pulse when disarmed and before remote start.
