    This process can be carried out instead of the conventional tach programming procedure. Make sure all the connections are done properly and that the Module has been powered-up. With the Hood up (Ground on the Hood Pin line), start the vehicle using the key. Let the Engine reach proper idle speed The Parking Light output from the Module is activated when the vehicle starts and it will shut off once the Tach signal is detected.

  • Page 13: Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range

    Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range In order to ensure optimal range, the antenna should be installed at least 7.5 cm (3 in.) from the roof – 2.5 cm (one inch) below the tint strip is generally t he best location. Install the antenna as far as possible from radio antennas, GPS, Onstar or factory compasses.
  • Page 14 It always better to strip more than you need, than not enough. A common way cold solder joints − happen is when not enough plastic is stripped off the vehicle's wire, so during the soldering process the plastic from the wire melts and flows in to the connection instead of the solder. Decide where the module is going to be mounted.

    When all of the wires have been connected, solder the connections. When the solder has − cooled, the connections are then individually taped up, to isolate them. Return to the engine bay and route the start module wires to their corresponding connections. −...

When the relay is at rest, 30 is connected to 87A, when the coil is energized, it is then moved and makes contact with 87. (note: in a SPDT relay, 30 can never be connected to 87 and 87A at the same time, 30 is connected to either 87 OR 87A) What happens: When there is no voltage across the COIL (terminals 85 and 86), the relay's movable contact ARM...

The relay connections: Connects in parallel to the Ignition 1 output from the remote start module. This becomes the positive side of the coil. Connects to the Ground Out when Running wire from the remote start module.
  • Page 18 Solution: A relay is used to invert the negative signal from the start module to a positive signal before it is sent to the OEM switch. The relay connections: Connects to the start module's Trunk release output wire. This becomes the negative side of the coil.

    Connects to the vehicle's Trunk release wire. Comments: At rest the relay is not active and the vehicle's Trunk release switch is allowed to operate normally. When the Trunk release button is pressed on the remote control, the start module's Trunk release output activates the relay. The ground signal is sent from 87 through 30 to the vehicle's Trunk release wire activating the switch and opening the trunk.
