Page 15 H1/4 WHITE/BROWN LIGHT FLASH -ISOLATION WIRE - PIN 87a of onboard relay This wire connects to pin 87a of the onboard light flash relay. It is used when- ever light switch isolation on the vehicle is necessary. If the vehicle has a mul- tiplex circuit that needs the light switch isolated, you can remove the onboard light flash fuse and replace it with the specified resistor (paying attention to the polarity selection).
Page 16 H1/6 VIOLET (+) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. H1/7 BLUE TRUNK PIN / INSTANT TRIGGER INPUT...
Page 17 H1/10 WHITE/BLUE (-) REMOTE START/ TURBO TIMER ACTIVATION INPUT This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means that it is necessary to have a single ground pulse on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The H1/10 wire can also be used to activate the Turbo Timer mode when the car is running and this wire receives a ground.

Page 25 BLUE/WHITE (-) 200 mA 2ND STATUS/REAR DEFOGGER This wire supplies a 200mA output as soon as the module begins the remote start process. The Blue/White wire can also be used to activate the defogger trigger (latched/pulsed) 10-seconds after the remote start engages. (See the Feature Descriptions, Menu#3, feature #11 for details about programming this output).
Page 26: Door Lock Wire Diagrams
BLUE (-) 200mA STATUS OUTPUT This wire supplies an output as soon as the module begins the remote start pro- cess. It can be used to activate a bypass module or power the key sense wire in most vehicles to disarm the factory alarm without unlocking. Note: Check vehicle information to verify if a bypass module is needed or if the key sense wire is needed.
Page 27: Neutral Safety Switch Interface
Neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the ve- hicle has a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire and 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.
