IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.
Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.
BBeeffoorreebbeeggiinnnniinnggtthheeiinnssttaallllaattiioonn::
■Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote
start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or
multiplexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic
probes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making con-
nections.
■Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid
disconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through their
warning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which can
require a trip to the dealer.
■Remove the dome light fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.
■Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the vehicle.
AAfftteerrtthheeiinnssttaallllaattiioonn::
■Test all functions. The "Using Your System" section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.
■Complete the vehicle
Safety Check outlined in this manual prior to the vehicle reassembly.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to locate these
wires! All testing described in this manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter.
We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply
to the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse will also be power-
ing other circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, or a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, fuse
accordingly.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module
has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main
power feed.
The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling starter. In some vehicles, it is
necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not
control the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the
vehicle is cold.
HHoowwttooffiinnddtthheessttaarrtteerrwwiirreewwiitthhyyoouurrmmuullttiimmeetteerr::
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering
column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not
need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding
your starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car

is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.
5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.
6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not
turn over, you have the right wire.
The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers
the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).
Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering
column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find
this wire.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads
(+)12V, go to the next step. If it does not read (+)12V, probe another wire.
5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay
steady, not dropping by more than a few tenths of a volt. If it drops close
to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have found an ignition wire.
An accessory wire will show (+)12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show (+)12V
during the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct
accessory wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the
blower motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the
second accessory wire.

Most vehicles use a (+) parking light circuit. The (+) parking light wire is often found near the light switch. In
many vehicles the light switch is built into the turn signal lever; in these vehicles the parking light wire can be
found in the steering column. The same wire can often be accessed in the kick panel or running board.
NNOOTTEE::Many Toyotas and other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to a relay. The
relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs. Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+) parking light
wire near the switch, simply test the wires at any switch or control panel that is lit by the instru-
ment panel lighting. Remember, you need a (+) parking light wire that does not vary with the
dimmer setting.
HHoowwttooffiinnddaa((++))ppaarrkkiinngglliigghhttffllaasshhwwiirreewwiitthhyyoouurrmmuullttiimmeetteerr::
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light
switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel.
4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes back
to zero.
5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn the
brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer,
look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.
NNOOTTEE::Vehicles that use a (-) signal from the switch to the factory relay may be interfaced
directly. (See H1/5 WHITE wire of Primary Harness (H1) Wire Connection Guide section.)
To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will
show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual
coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system

can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the
ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not test tachometer wires using a test light or logic probe. The vehicle will be
damaged.
HHoowwttooffiinnddaattaacchhoommeetteerrwwiirreewwiitthhyyoouurrmmuullttiimmeetteerr::
1. Set to ACV or AC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.
3. Start and run the vehicle.
4. Probe the wire you suspect of being the tachometer wire with the red probe of the meter.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.
In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT-TO-START light in the dash-
board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out
the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard.
It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.

wiirree::
1. Set your multimeter to DCV or DC voltage (12 or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+)12V.
3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the correct wire and the wire's polar-
ity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).
6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the correct
wire and the wire's polarity is positive.
