Step 1, Heavy Gauge Wire Connections  
Ground Wire  
The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper  
fuse. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the  
BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.  
Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel  
(do not ground on dash). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the  
screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down,  
pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.

Constant Power and Ignition wires  
Almost all your power and ignition wires can be found behind the  
key cylinder under the lower driver's side dash panel. Using the  
appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel taking care  
not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily, check  
for any additional screws you may have missed.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition  
harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of  
heavy gauge wires (approximate 14ga.).  
Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in  
the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge  
wires. The ignition wire colors of your specific vehicle can be  
note! More problems are attributed to poor ground  
connections than any other cause. Take extra care  
to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal  
contact and secure.  
Testing for Constant Power Wires  
WARNING! Before making any connection to constant  
battery power make sure that the two 30 amp fuses  
are removed from the fuse holders on the two pink 12  
VOLT wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or short-  
ing of sensitive electrical components.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics  
13  
 
With the key in the off position, test the suspect wire. The  
constant power wire will read 12V on the multimeter. Once the  
constant power wire has been identified, solder the two heavy  
gauge 12 VOLT wires (PINK) from the control module to it and  
wrap the connection with electrical tape.  
note! If the vehicle has more than one constant  
power wire, utilize two of them. Connect one of the  
heavy gauge PINK wires to one of the constant  
power wires and the other heavy gauge PINK wire to  
the other constant power wire.  
Testing for Ignition Wires  
With the multimeter lead still connected in the kick panel, locate  
the suspected ignition wire. It will test differently than constant  
12 volts. Place the red lead of the multimeter on the suspected  
wire. With the key in the off position the multimeter will read 0.  
Turn the key to the on position and the multimeter will read 12  
volts. Now, watching your multimeter, turn the key to the crank  
position. If the 12 volts stays on, then you have found your igni-  
tion wire. If the wire tests correctly, solder the BLUE heavy gauge  
wire to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.  
If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the web site  
information, follow the same test procedure and solder the GREEN  
heavy gauge wire to it then wrap the connection with electrical  
tape. If your vehicle has only one ignition wire, secure the GREEN  
wire and dress it out of the way.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional  
relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.

Accessory and Starter wires  
The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness  
as the ignition and constant power.  
To find the accessory wire leave the multimeter’s black lead  
connected to ground. Take the red lead and probe the wire  
suspected to be the accessory wire. With the key off, your multi-  
meter should read 0 volts. Turn the key to the on position the  
multimeter should read 12 volts. Now turn the key to the crank  
position. If you have the correct accessory wire the multimeter  
will read 0 volts while the starter is cranking and 12 volts once  
the key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip  
some insulation off and solder the WHITE heavy gauge wire and  
wrap it with electrical tape.  
If your vehicle requires more than one accessory then the GREEN  
ign2 wire can be programmed to function as an accessory output.

If the GREEN wire is being used for ign2 an additional relay (not  
provided) is required for a 2nd accessory. Refer to the diagram

lead of your tester on ground and place the red lead of your multi-  
meter on this wire. The multimeter should read 0 volts in all key  
positions except the crank position. In the crank position your  
multimeter should read 12 volts, and will go to 0 volts when the  
starter disengages.

note! Always check the Web site information  
on your vehicle for warnings regarding the  
starter wire and check engine lights. Some  
vehicles will trip a check engine light if the  
starter wire is cut.  
Once you locate the starter wire, cut the wire in half (check the  
web information before cutting) and try to start the vehicle. If  
the vehicle does not start, the correct wire has been identified.  
Reconnect both ends of the starter wire while soldering the thick  
YELLOW (6) wire of the heavy guage wires to it and wrap the  
connection with electrical tape.

Step 2, H1, Main Harness Connections  
Factory Alarm Disarm  
Since many newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm it  
is necessary to disarm it when unlocking the doors or during  
remote start. Do not mistake a factory alarm with an immobilizer  
system. They each require different disarm operations.  
Locate the factory alarm disarm wire using the web site informa-  
tion. Once the suspect wire is located, place the multi-meter's red  
lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure it. Put the multi-  
meter in the DC position then probe the suspect wire with the  
black lead of your meter. While probing the wire, place the key in  
the driver's door cylinder. Turn it to the unlock position and hold  
it when testing for the disarm wire. The multimeter should read  
12V and will go back to 0V when the key is released.  
When the correct wire has been found, solder the BROWN/WHITE  
wire of the 6-pin harness to the wire that you determined to be  
the factory alarm disarm wire. After this wire has been connected  
wrap the connection with electrical tape.  
note! On some vehicles the Factory Alarm Disarm  
wire is connected to a Body Control Module or a Door  
Module. If you find this configuration, please call  
Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.  
note! Some vehicles use a + trigger factory alarm  
system. Use the website to determine if your vehicle  
has a + trigger. If your vehicle has such a system call  
1-800-477-1382 for live technical assistance as spe-  
cial wiring and an additional relay is required.

Parking light flash  
There are several different types of parking light circuits. The  
following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking-  
light circuit, only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-)  
parking light circuit, the fuse jumper (on the side of the module)  
must be moved to the opposite position.  
The default position for this jumper is for a positive parking light  
circuit.  
Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected  
wire. Connect the black multimeter lead to ground in the kick  
panel. Probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your meter.  
With the switch in the off position the multimeter should read 0  
volts. While watching the multimeter, turn your headlight switch  
to the parking light position. The multimeter should read 12 volts.  
While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light  
control up and down-the voltage should NOT vary. If the voltage  
does vary then this is the wrong wire. Continue probing to find the  
correct wire.  
Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the small YELLOW  
wire of the 6-pin harness to it and wrap the connection with elec-  
trical tape.  
important! Remember this description is for a (+)  
parking light circuit. A (-) circuit will test differently.  
Also, if the web information requires using resistors  
for parking lights, contact Technical Support.

Safety Shutdown Wires  
With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate  
safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin  
wires.  
WARNING! These wires are meant to protect the  
vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They MUST  
be connected to prevent damage to the vehicle  
and possible bodily injury.  
First locate the factory brake wire using your multimeter. Find the  
switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal. Use  
your vehicle specific wiring information to determine the color of  
this wire. With the black lead of your multimeter still in the kick  
panel, probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your multi-  
meter. With the brake pedal at rest the multimeter should read 0  
volts. While watching the multimeter, depress the brake pedal.  
The multimeter should read 12 volts. Once you have located the  
correct brake wire, solder the small ORANGE wire in the 6-pin  
harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.  
WARNING! Do not use the vehicle until you  
confirm the operation of the brake shutdown.  
Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a hole in a metal  
lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin  
switch to be completely depressed when the hood is closed. The  
pin switch has a spade connector on the bottom for the wire  
connection.  
Crimp your spade connector to the hood pin wire and run the wire  
into the vehicle's passenger compartment through a factory rubber  
grommet (at the same time you might want to run Tachometer  
Input wire and Horn output wire from Optional Harness through  
the fire wall as you may need to connect them using the following  
steps).

Using a sharp, pointed object poke a hole into the grommet  
(being careful not to damage any existing wires in the grommet)  
and attach the wire to the object with electrical tape. Pull the  
wire through the grommet taking extra care to keep the wire away  
from any moving parts or anything that will generate extreme  
heat.  
An alternative to this method would be to find a spot on the fire-  
wall with sufficient clearance on both sides and drill an access  
hole through the firewall. Take note of what is directly on the  
other side of where you are drilling as to not puncture brake cylin-  
ders, computers, etc. Once the wire is run into the vehicle and  
secured from any moving parts, solder the wire to the VIOLET wire  
of the 6-pin harness and wrap the connection with electrical tape.  
WARNING! This wire MUST be connected. Do not  
use the vehicle until you confirm the operation  
of the hood pin shutdown. Improper operation  
could result injury or death.

Step 3, H3 Door Lock Connections  
There are 8 different types of door lock systems (Type A - H).  
Refer to the vehicle-specific wiring instructions on the web and  
the chart below to help determine which door lock system your  
vehicle uses. On some late model GM vehicles a door lock data  
interface module may be required.  
Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.  
Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.  
note! From the factory, your system is set up for Type  
B (-) door locks. To change your door lock outputs to  
Type A (+), simply use the wires in the oposite con-  
figuration. You will now have (+) door locks.  
Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are  
wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory  
relays. Relays (not included) will be required for this type of door  
lock system.  
Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include  
slave systems without an actuator in the driver's door, but with  
factory actuators in all the other doors.  
Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems.  
Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock.  
This is a vary rare system found only mainly in early 90's imports  
Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. One wire controls lock and unlock  
using resistor(s).  
Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. Same as type G system, but uses  
(-) pulse instead.

All other door lock systems will require additional relays and/or  
resistors. A Directed Electronics 451M Doorlock module can be  
used for these other applications. The 451M also includes  
diagrams and resistors required for most applications.

Step 4, H2 Harness  
Engine Monitoring Explained  
During remote start the system will need to know if the engine is  
running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of the  
vehicle's electrical system (or the tachometer-see next section).  
Voltage Monitoring  
note! If the system has been programmed for  
Tachometer monitoring previously, it must be  
reprogrammed to Voltage monitoring.  
Vehicle electrical systems usually rest at about 12.6 volts when  
the engine is not running. This system is programmed to detect  
the rise in battery voltage that occurs when the charging circuit  
activates after starting, and keep the engine running if the rise is  
adequate. It will make up to three start attempts before discon-  
tinuing due to an inadequate voltage rise.  
Some vehicles have alternators that do not activate immediately  
or do not increase voltage sufficiently after starting, this system  
will compensate by delaying the time before reading the battery  
voltage on the second and third start attempts. This delay will  
allow most alternators to activate so the remote start will  
continue to run.  
The voltage read times are:  
First attempt: 10 seconds  
Second attempt: 20 seconds  
Third attempt: 50 seconds  
After the third start attempt, if the voltage increase is still not  
adequate to keep the engine running, the Tachometer input  
option should be used to monitor the engine.

Tachometer Wire  
WARNING! In the following procedure DO NOT use  
a test light. Use of this type of tester can cause  
grounding of sensitive electrical components caus-  
ing damage, including damage to the power train  
control module. A digital multi-meter is required to  
test for this wire.  
Do not wear loose clothing that could get entangled  
in rotating engine components. Ensure that your  
hands and arms are well clear of these rotating  
components when working in the engine compart-  
ment. Lastly, ensure that all wires and tools are  
clear of falling into or entanglement with these  
rotating components.  
Identify the suspected tach wire according to the web informa-  
tion. Next, place the black lead of a MULTI-METER on the nega-  
tive battery post and secure it. Put the multi-meter in the AC posi-  
tion and connect the probe to the suspect wire with the red lead  
of the multi-meter. Then start the vehicle with the key. With the  
engine at idle the multi-meter should read between .50 volts to 6  
volts, and should fluctuate when you rev the engine.  
Have a second person press the gas pedal to increase the RPMs  
and watch the meter display. When the RPMs increase the voltage  
should rise slightly (not all tachometer outputs will rise when  
engine RPM increases). Once the correct tachometer wire has been  
identified, turn the vehicle off.  
Run the GREEN wire from the 8-pin harness through the firewall  
into the engine compartment along side the hood pin wire. Use  
the same procedure as with the hood pin wire and pull the wire  
through the grommet taking extra care to keep it away from any  
moving parts or anything that will generate extreme heat. Once  
the wire is run into the engine compartment, strip a small portion

26  
 
of insulation off the tachometer wire in the vehicle and solder the  
green tachometer input wire to it. Then wrap the connection with  
electrical tape.  
note! If using a tach signal, the tach signal MUST  
be learned before using the remote starter.  
LEARNING YOUR TACH SIGNAL  
If using a tach wire, you must learn the tach signal after  
completing the installation.  
To learn tach signal:  
1. Start car with key  
2. Wait about 5 seconds for the engine to idle down  
3. Press and hold the Momentary switch (about 10  
seconds)  
4. Tach learned: After a few seconds the LED will flash 2  
times and turn on. Continue to hold the switch for 2 - 3  
seconds and release.  
5. Tach not learned: The LED will not turn on and will flash  
3 times when the momentary switch is released. Check  
the connections and try again.

Following is a brief description of the remainder of the wires in  
the H2 harness. For specific details on connecting these outputs  
contact Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.  
Horn/siren wire  
The Blue wire provides an output for activating the vehicle horn  
circuit or an external siren. The output is programmable in Feature  
Menu 1/9 for the desired use.  
important! This is a low current output and that  
requires an external relay when connected to circuits  
that draw more than 400mA in current.  
Wait-to-start wire  
The Red/Black wire is for use with diesel engines that require a  
short delay for the glow plugs to warm up before cranking the  
engine. Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the  
signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dashboard. In  
most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and  
the Red/Black wire can be directly connected. If the vehicle uses  
a positive wire (12V to turn on the bulb) a relay must be used to  
change the polarity.  
Ignition Output wire  
The Yellow/Green wire should be the ONLY the ignition input to an  
existing aftermarket alarm system. This wire will prevent the host  
system from sensing that the ignition is on during remote start  
operation.  
Trunk Release wire  
The Green/White wire can be used to activate a vehicle trunk  
release solenoid or to operate optional modules that require a  
negative input. Whenever the  
button is pressed for a few  
seconds the system will disarm/unlock and then activate this

output. The output will then remain on until the transmitter  
button is released.  
important! this is a low current output and that  
requires an external relay when connected to cir-  
cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.  
Retained Accessory, Dome Light or Starter Kill wire  
The Brown wire has three optional uses depending on the vehicle  
application and user preference. The three available operations are  
programmable in Feature Menu 2/11  
RAP or Retained Accessory Power: This option is  
designed to turn off accessories that remain on after the  
ignition is turned off. It will pulse 10 seconds after the  
remote start status output ceases. It will make the vehi-  
cle body control module think the door has opened, thus  
turning the accessories off.  
Dome Light Supervision: This option will turn on the  
dome light for 25 second each time the vehicle is  
unlocked. It will cease if on when the doors are locked  
or the ignition in turned on.  
Start Kill/Anti-grind: This option activates when the  
doors are locked to allow for starter kill for the alarm  
system and also works as an anti-grind when the remote  
start is active.  
important! this is a low current output and that  
requires an external relay when connected to cir-  
cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.

29  
 
Headlight Control wire  
The Yellow/Brown wire provides an output for activating the  
vehicle headlight circuit. It is controlled by both the ignition  
switch and the transmitter. It is programmable in Feature Menu  
1/10 for the type of ignition controlled activation.  
important! this is a low current output and that  
requires an external relay when connected to cir-  
cuits that draw more than 400mA in current.  
Door Trigger wire  
The Gray/Black wire will trigger the alarm and is designed to be  
connected to the door switch that turns on the dome light when  
the door is opened. It is a negative input circuit only. If your  
vehicle uses a positive door switch circuit, call for assistance in  
making the connection.

Step 5, Mounting the Receiver/Antenna  
Receiver/antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle  
owner prior to installation, since the antenna may be visible to  
the vehicle’s operator.  
The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on  
either the front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the anten-  
na should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally  
in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from  
metal, but range will be diminished. Metallic window tint can also  
affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining  
the mounting location.  
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:  
1. Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or  
alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.  
2. Plug the receiver/antenna cable into the  
receiver/antenna.  
3. Mount the receiver/antenna using the supplied double-  
sided tape.  
4. Route the receiver/antenna cable to the control module  
and plug it into the four-pin antenna connector.  
important! To achieve the best possible range,  
DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under  
the dash. Always extend the cable full length dur-  
ing installation, regardless of the antenna mount-  
ing location.

Step 6, Immobilizer Bypass Modules  
Most newer vehicles have a factory engine immobilizer system  
designed to prevent any unauthorized use of the vehicle. These  
immobilizers will cut off power to the starter and the fuel supply  
preventing a thief from starting the vehicle.  
There are several types of immobilizers, with the most common  
being the resistance-based passlock/passlock 2 systems found on  
most newer GM vehicles. This system can be bypassed using the  
20402, 29402 or 556L immobilizer bypass modules available at  
majority of transponder-based immobilizer systems can be  
bypassed using the 20402, 29402 or 556U immobilizer bypass  
module available at your local authorized retailer.  
The WHITE/BLACK wire of the 6-pin harness supplies a 400mA (-)  
output as soon as the control module begins the remote start  
process. This wire can be used to activate an immobilizer bypass  
unit.  
note! Any vehicle equipped with a factory immobi-  
lizer must use an immobilizer bypass module to  
remote start. If not used, the vehicle ignition or  
fuel supply circuits could lock up and require a  
costly trip to the dealer to reset the computer sys-  
tem.  
To determine which bypass module your vehicle requires, use the

Step 7, Programming  
Programming transmitters  
Your system can learn up to 4 transmitters. The following proce-  
dure will show you how to add additional transmitters or replace  
old ones. Each transmitters can be programmed one button at a  
time or you can use an auto learn procedure that learns the  
intended factory configuration. Learning one button at a time is  
generally only used when using one transmitters to control two  
different cars. Being able to program functions to different chan-  
nels on each transmitters prevents multiple cars from responding  
simultaneously.  
1. Turn the ignition ON  
2. Press/release the momentary switch the same number of  
times as the desired transmitter learn Step number, and  
then Press/HOLD.  
3. After Holding the momentary switch for 2 seconds the  
LED will begin to flash to indicate of the accessed trans-  
mitter learn Step.  
4. Press the transmitter button that you want to control  
the function assigned to that transmitter learns Step;  
the Horn/Siren will emit a long chirp.  
note! For transmitter learn Step #1, you must press  
the “*” button on the transmitter, this will auto-  
matically program the transmitter buttons to the  
default function configuration. See the transmit-  
ter button auto learn chart for the assignment  
functions.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics  
34  
 
You can learn more than one transmitter function at a time by  
advancing to another transmitter learn Step.  
To do this, first release the momentary SW and then press/release  
it the same number of times as the difference between the current  
transmitter learn Step and the desired transmitter learn Step, and  
then press/HOLD it.  
example! To advance from transmitter learn Step 2  
to transmitter learn Step 8, release the momentary  
SW and then press/release it 6 times and HOLD it  
on the 7th press.  
After Holding the Valet Sw for 2 seconds the LED will flash 8 times  
and repeat. You can now learn a transmitter button to step 8.  
There are several ways to exit transmitter Learning, by TimeOut,  
Ignition or momentary SW Presses.  
1. TimeOut: If more than 15 seconds elapse between  
momentary SW presses or transmitter signals.  
2. Ignition: If the Ignition is turned off at any time during  
transmitter Learning.  
3. Momentary SW presses: if you press/release the momen-  
tary SW more times than transmitter Learning steps in  
the menu.  
The Horn output will pulse 5 times rapidly and the Led will turn  
off to indicate exiting feature programming.

System Diagnostics  
Alarm diagnostics  
When arming or disarming the alarm, this system will alert you of  
alarm triggers or active inputs by changing the Horn/Siren and  
light flash output. It will then indicate the active input by  
flashing the LED.  
Arming diagnostics:  
When arming, if an alarm input is active (door or hood open) the  
Horn/Siren output and Parking Lights will pulse three times  
instead of one as an alert.  
The LED will then flash/pause and then repeat 5 times to indicate  
the active input (See alarm input chart)  
The active input will be bypassed until it has been inactive for  
more than 5 seconds but all other alarm inputs will be monitored  
normally to assure the security of the vehicle  
Disarming diagnostics:  
When disarming, if the alarm was fully triggered in your absence,  
the Horn/Siren output and Parking Lights will pulse four times  
instead of two as an alert.  
The LED will then flash/pause and then repeat 5 times to indicate  
the input that caused the trigger (See alarm input chart).  
note! If the alarm was triggered more than once, the  
diagnostics will only report the last input that fully  
triggered the alarm. Sensor War-away triggers are not  
reported in diagnostics.

Testing the system  
Once steps 1-7 have been completed, the operation of the system  
can be tested.  
Ensure that the two 30-amp fuses are in the relay harness PINK  
wire fuse holders. Make sure that the vehicle is in park with the  
emergency brake on and the hood closed. Press  
2 times on  
the remote to initiate the remote start function. The parking  
lights should flash to confirm the remote start command has been  
received, The accessories and ignition should turn on followed by  
the starter cranking and the vehicle engine running (this may take  
a moment to initiate). Pressing  
2 times again on the remote  
will shut the engine off. (See Programming System settings  
section for 1 press remote start operation)  
This completes the testing, if all functions do not work correctly  
check your wiring against the manual and verify all connections.  
If you still experience problems contact Directed Technical  
Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Neutral Safety Test  
Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch.  
Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically inter-  
rupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear.  
If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide  
protection from starting in gear.  
However, some vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and  
the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In  
these vehicles, it is impossible to interface the remote start  
system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle,  
if the car is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is acti-  
vated, the vehicle will move and may cause damage to persons or  
property.  
important! This test must be performed to deter-  
mine if the vehicle will start while in gear. If the  
vehicle attempts to start during this test you  
must call Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382  
for assistance before using the remote start fea-  
ture.  
Testing the Neutral Safety Switch  
note! You must complete the remote start system  
installation before doing the following test.  
Ensure that the remote start system is function-  
ing normally. This includes connecting to the  
brake as a shut-down.  
1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and  
rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics  
53  
 
2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote  
start shut-downs active.  
3. Set the emergency brake.  
4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the  
shifter.  
5. Place the shifter in the drive position.  
6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not  
depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if the starter  
engages.  
7. Activate the remote start system.  
8. If the starter does not engage, no additional safety  
interfaces are required.  
9. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to  
shut the remote start system down.  
IF THE ENGINE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE THEN THE TEST  
HAS FAILED  
CALL TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE AT 1-800-477-1382  
warning! If the vehicle fails this test the remote  
start must be disabled until the proper Safety  
Interface has been installed that will keep the  
vehicle from starting while in gear. Failure to do so  
may result in property damage, injury or death.

Troubleshooting  
The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank.  
Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle  
have an engine immobilizer? Does it start with the brake pedal  
depressed? (Make sure to disconnect the brake shutdown when  
performing this test.) If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock.  
Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by energizing it  
yourself with a fused test lead.  
The starter cranks for 1 or 2-seconds but does not start.  
The wrong ignition wire is being energized or the system's ignition  
and accessory wires have been connected backwards. Also, the  
vehicle may have two ignition circuits. Try activating the unit with  
the ignition key in the "run" position. If the vehicle then runs  
normally, retest your ignition system.  
The starter continues to crank after the car has started.  
Has the tach wire been learned? See the Tach Learning section of  
this guide. Is the tach wire receiving the correct information?  
Either the wrong tach wire has been used, or a bad connection  
exists. Verify that all of the heavy gauge wires are plugged into  
the correct tabs on the control unit. If they are incorrectly  
connected, the starter could stay engaged.  
The climate control system does not work.  
Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than  
one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to  
operate the climate control system.  
The remote start will not activate.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics  
55  
 
Check to ensure that the hood is not open and that the brake  
pedal is not depressed. Check harnesses and connections. Make  
sure the harnesses are fully plugged into the remote start module.  
Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring. Check  
voltage and fuses. Use a meter and check for voltage between the  
RED wire and the BLACK ground wire. If you have less than battery  
voltage, check both 30A fuses on the main power wires. Also make  
sure that the ground wire is going to a good paint-free chassis  
ground.  
The remote start will activate but the starter never engages.  
1. Check for voltage on the YELLOW starter wire two seconds  
after the remote start becomes active. If there is voltage  
present, skip to Step 4. If there is no voltage present,  
advance to Step 2.  
2. Check the 30A fuses.  
3. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some Immobilizer  
systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active.  
4. Check connections. The two PINK heavy gauge input wires  
should have solid connections. "T-taps", or "scotch locks" are  
not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring.  
Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire,  
then connect one PINK wire to each.  
The vehicle starts, but immediately dies.  
Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle's immobilizer  
will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting  
attempts.  
The vehicle will start and run only for about 10 seconds.  
Is the remote start module programmed for voltage sense? If so,  
try programming the unit to tach mode.

this section follow the transmitter button assignments using the  
Auto-Learn step when programming a transmitter.  
Remote Start Features  
Remote Start allows you to remotely start and run your vehicle for  
a programmed period of time. This makes it possible to warm up  
the engine, as well as adjust the interior temperature of the  
vehicle with the climate control system. If interior heating or  
cooling is desired, the climate controls must be preset, and the fan  
blower must be set to the desired level prior to remote starting the  
vehicle.  
Remote Start operation is completely disabled by placing the  
system into the Valet Mode. The Remote Start, Quick Stop, Daily  
Start and Vacation Mode features will not operate when in the  
Valet Mode. See the Alarm Features section for information on

Alarm and Security Features  
Transmitter Arming of the Alarm  
You can arm the system by pressing the  
button of your trans-  
mitter for one second. When the system arms, the Horn/Siren  
output will chirp once and the parking lights will flash once.  
If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will  
also lock. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash once  
per second, indicating that the system is actively protecting your  
vehicle.  
If the Horn/Siren pulses and the lights flash 3 times, refer to the  
Diagnostics Section. This indicates an alarm input is active at the  
time of arming and should be checked. The LED will flash in groups  
to indicate the active input.  
Passive Arming of the Alarm  
This system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called  
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming,  
it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned  
off and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by  
opening and closing a door.  
Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive arming count-  
down, the status LED will flash rapidly. At the 30-second point,  
the Horn/Siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash to indi-  
cate that the system is armed.  
note! If the door, brake or hood inputs are acti-  
vated during the 30 second countdown the  
timer will stop and reset, it will re-start once  
the input becomes inactive. Active sensor  
inputs will not stop the countdown.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics  
66  
 
Auto-rearming feature  
Auto-rearming is designed to protect the vehicle in case of unin-  
tended disarming of the alarm.  
It will automatically re-arm the alarm and lock the doors 120  
seconds after any transmitter disarm occurs.  
To stop Auto-rearm simply open a door or turn the ignition on  
before the 120 seconds expires.  
Alarm Input Operations  
When armed the alarm has 6 inputs that will cause a full alarm  
trigger output. Refer to the Alarm Diagnostic section for addi-  
tional detail.  
The Door, Hood, Ignition and Brake inputs will cause an  
immediate full trigger output when activated.  
The Sensor inputs can cause two types of outputs; Warn-  
away and Full Trigger.  
note! An optional two stage sensor is required for  
the Sensor outputs to activate. Call Technical  
Support for more information on compatible sensors.  
Alarm Trigger Outputs  
Warn-away output: this output consists of 5 chirps of  
the Horn/Siren output and 3 flashes of the parking  
lights.  
Full Trigger output: this output consists of flashing the  
Parking lights and the Horn/Siren output for 30 seconds  
followed by a 5 second pause to monitor the alarm  
inputs. If an alarm input is still active the output will  
repeat.  
© 2006 Directed Electronics  
67  
 
Transmitter Disarming the Alarm  
To disarm the security system, press the  
button of the trans-  
mitter. When the system disarms, the Horn/Siren output will chirp  
twice and the parking lights will flash twice.  
If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the doors will  
also unlock. The LED will turn off and the vehicle can be entered.  
If the Horn/Siren pulses and the lights flash 4 times, refer to the  
Diagnostics Section. This indicates that the alarm was fully trig-  
gered in your absence. The LED will flash in groups to indicate the  
input that caused the trigger.  
Momentary Switch Disarming the Alarm  
If your transmitter is lost or will not disarm the alarm, you can  
manually override it using your ignition key and the Momentary  
Switch.  
To override the Alarm using the Momentary Switch  
Enter the vehicle, the alarm will sound  
Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the On  
position  
Immediately press and release the Momentary Switch 2  
times  
After 2 seconds the alarm will disarm as though the  
transmitter had been used.  
Panic Mode  
This system includes a Panic Mode operation that will alert other  
around you if you are threatened while in or near your vehicle. Due  
to state laws the Panic Mode is defeated when the ignition is on.

Arm or Disarm the alarm system  
Zone Bypass Feature  
The Zone Bypass feature temporarily bypasses alarm inputs that  
trigger excessively when the system is armed while monitoring the  
other inputs for triggers. This keeps constant triggers due to envi-  
ronmental reasons from annoying the neighbors.  
Protected entry bypass:  
If the door, hood, brake or ignition inputs become activated  
through 3 consecutive 30 second full trigger durations, it will be  
bypassed until it has become inactive for more than 5 seconds.  
Sensor bypass:  
If one of the sensor inputs is triggered 3 times within 1 hour, a  
bypass timer will begin and that input will be bypassed for 1 hour.  
If a trigger occurs on that input while the bypass timer is active,  
the bypass timer will reset.  
You can Disarm and then Rearm the alarm to defeat the sensor  
bypass at any time.
