Installation
Mounting The Main Control Module: The Main Control Module contains the
electronics necessary for the security system's operation. Always mount this module in the
vehicle's interior compartment, in a secure location that is not easily accessible. Ensure
that moisture, vibration and temperature extremes are minimized. Acceptable locations
may include mounting behind the dash, behind the glove box or other interior panels.
Wiring Connections: The security system's wires should be securely connected to
the appropriate vehicle wires with the proper terminals, connectors, or by soldering and
insulating with quality vinyl electrical tape or heat shrink tubing. All wiring should be
carefully routed to avoid the possibility of chaffing or otherwise being damaged.

Black Wire - (Ground input): The Black wire's function is to supply Negative
chassis ground for the security system's operation.
CONNECTION: Using the correctly sized crimp-on ring terminal, connect the Black wire
to the metal frame of the vehicle, preferably using an existing machine-threaded fastener.
Make sure that the ring terminal attached to the Black wire has contact with bright, clean
metal. If necessary, scrape any paint, rust or grease away from the connection point until
the metal is bright and clean.
Note: If the control module has an insufficient ground connection, the security system can

To perform a Total System Reset, follow these steps:
1) Locate the small round hole in the lower control module case. Two solder dots will
be visible beneath this hole.
2) Short the two solder dots together. A slotted jeweler's screwdriver works well.
3) Shorting the solder dots for 5 seconds will result in two siren bursts. All 23
Programmable Features are now returned to the factory-set default positions.
The 23 Programmable Features and their factory-set default positions are:
1) Ignition Activated Anti-Carjack Feature: Default OFF.
2) Add Door Activation To The Anti-Carjack Feature: Default OFF.
3) Last Door Arming And 90 Second Automatic Rearming: Default ON.
4) Doors Lock With Last Door Arming: Default ON.
5) Current Sensing (Also See Feature #22): Default ON.
6) Doors Lock With Ignition "On": Default ON.
7) Ignition "Off" Door Unlock #1: Default ON.
8) Ignition "Off" Door Unlock #2: Default ON.
9) Open Door Bypass For Previous Three Features: Default ON.
10) Lights On 5 Or 30 Seconds Upon Disarm: Default 30 Seconds (OFF).
11) Active Arm/Disarm Automatic Rearming Door Override: Default ON.
12) Remote Trunk Release Disarms The System: Default ON.
13) Doorlock Pulse Time 3 Or .8 Second: Default .8 second (ON).

find partial ground through the wires that are connected to other circuits, but the alarm will
not function correctly, giving the impression of a defective control module. The alarm can
partially work, so a bad ground wire connection would be suspected. In some cases the
alarm could arm and disarm properly -but not function correctly otherwise.
Note: When power or ground is first applied the alarm will trigger "on" instantly.
Note: The Black wire attached to the control module is the antenna wire. Do not
connect this wire to anything or the transmitter's range will be reduced or eliminated.
Stretch the Black antenna wire out and as high as possible for the best operating range.
Red Wire - (Positive 12 Volt Input): The Red wire's function is to supply
Constant Positive 12 Volts for security system's operation. When 12 Volts is first applied
to the Red wire, the system will activate, sounding the siren, flashing the lights and locking
the doors (if equipped with an optional doorlock interface). Note: In Valet Mode with the
ignitionswitch "on", this function willnot work, allowing vehicle to be serviced without the
system being activated if the battery is disconnected and reconnected. The Red wire also
supplies 12 Volt Positive to the built-in relay for flashing the parking lights.
CONNECTION:ConnecttheRed wire toaConstant Positive 12 Voltsource. Thissource
should have Positive 12 Volt, 15 Amp at all times and in all ignition key positions.
Connectionlocations can be at thesupply wire at the ignition switch, the supply wirebehind
thefuse block orthe fuse/junction block. Neverjustinsert theRed wire orany other security
systemwirebehindafuse. Also,pleasenotethat connecting directly to the battery'sPositive
terminal will expose this connection to failure due to a corrosive environment.

Programmable Features - Total System Reset
Please See The Owner's Manual For Changing Programmable Features And
Programming Transmitters.
This security system has 23 features that can be programmed through the Features
Programming Mode. Changing individual features is explained in detail in the Owner's
Manual. However, a Total System Reset feature allows the installer, if needed, to quickly
return all 23 features to the factory-set default positions.

Yellow Wire - (Ignition 12 Volt Positive Input):The Yellow wire is an igni-
tion "on" input to the security system. This connection is critical to the proper operation of
many of the security system's features.
CONNECTION:This wiresupplies Positive 12 Volts to the control module wheneverthe
ignition switch is "on". This connection should be made at the ignition switch harness, to
the primary ignition circuit. Primary ignition has 0 Volts when the ignition key is in the
"Lock", "Off" and "Accessory" positions; and Positive 12 Volts in the "Run" and "Start"
positions. Locate the correct wire at the ignition switch harness and securely splice the
Yellow wire to it.
Orange Wire - (Negative Output While Armed): The Orange wire is for an
optional starter disable socket and relay. The function of this wire is to provide a Constant
500ma Ground Output whenever the security system is in an armed state. This output
supplies Negative Ground to one side of the relay's coil. The other side of the relay coil will
be supplied with Positive Voltage from the ignition switch, but only if the ignition switch
is turned to the "start" position. If this occurs, the coil will energize, activating the relay,
which in turn will open the starter circuit. The starter interrupt prevents the vehicle from
starting only if the alarm is armed (including while the alarm is activated), and will draw
current from the vehicle's electrical system only if an attempt is made to start the vehicle.
CONNECTION: To interrupt the vehicle's starter circuit, the starter wire must be located
and cut. It is recommended that this connection be done as close to the ignition switch as
possible. Use a voltmeter, not a test light, to find the correct wire, which is the wire from

will read Positive 12 Volts only when ignition key is in "start" position (cranking the
engine). Cut this wire at a suitable location. Confirm that this is the correct wire by
turning the ignition switch to the "start" position. The starter should not engage.
Connect the optional starter disable socket's Red wire to the ignition switch side, and its
White wire to the starter solenoid side. Be sure that good, solid electrical connections are
made as this generally is a high amperage circuit. Connect the security system's Orange
wire to the Orange wire of the starter disable socket. Note: If the Orange wire touches 12
volts positive directly or has more than a 500ma ground load, the circuit will be damaged.
Gray Wire - (Negative Trunk Release Output): The function of the Gray
wire is to provide an optional output, the primary use being trunk release. Press and hold
the transmitter's small button for two seconds to activate this output. When activated the
horn will honk (or the siren will chirp) twice and the Gray wire will provide a 250mA
Negative Ground pulse for 1 second; or, stay grounded for as long as the small transmitter
button is depressed, for up to 15 seconds.
Also, the security system will automatically disarm, unlock the doors and illuminate the
exterior lights on for 30 seconds (unless a door is opened or the ignition switch is turned
"on"). Note: The trunk release feature can be operated anytime with the ignition switch
"off", or, it may also be operated while ignition key is "on" provided a door is open at the
same time. This prevents the trunk or rear hatch from being opened from the transmitter
while driving. Unless the vehicle's trunk release switch negatively triggers a release relay
which draws no more than 250mA, an optional relay must be used. Connect the Gray wire

Brown Wire - (Negative Siren/Horn Output): The Brown wire is a 1 Amp
Negative output designed to operate an electronic siren or the vehicle's existing horn relay,
which in turn will sound the horn for audible confirmations, and also to sound the horn
intermittently if the alarm is triggered. The alarm is already programmed to have a steady
output to operate the electronic siren.
Sounding the vehicle's horn instead of the electronic siren would require changing Pro-
grammable Feature #18 from the preset steady output to a pulsed output to properly sound
the horn.
SIREN CONNECTION: After mounting the siren, route its Red and Black wires to the
alarm control module. The Brown wire may be connected directly to the siren's Black wire,
and the siren's Red wire is connected to the Siren (+) Supply terminal on the module.
MountingThe Siren: Find a location in the engine compartment away from the extreme
heat of the engine and manifold. A suitable location will offer a firm mounting surface, will
also allow sound dispersion out of the engine compartment, and not be accessible to a thief.
The siren must be pointed downward to avoid moisture collecting inside it and to enhance
sound dispersal.
HORN CONNECTION: The Brown wire may be connected directly to the vehicle's
existing horn switch wire, which is typically found at the steering column. The correct wire
will show Positive 12 Volts normally, and no voltage when the horn is honked. Direct
connection of the Brown wire is to an existing horn switch-to-relay wire only. Once the
