Autostart AS-1252V - Manual (Page 2)

6. Power up the unit by first inserting the 5-pin connector, then the 6-pin connector and finally the 12-pin connector.
The parking lights will flash 4 times to confirm that the unit is in Manual mode.
To install this unit in a vehicle with an automatic transmission:
1. Cut the loop on the pc board ( Yellow wire)
2. Make sure the Orange handbrake wire is not connected to any of the vehicle circuits.
3. Make all the regular connections
4. Power up the unit. The parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the unit is in Automatic mode.
If you wish to put the unit back in Manual transmission mode, reconnect the loop at any time. There is no need to reset the
module.
Warning for automatic transmissions: If upon pressing the II button, the parking lights flash 15 times, make sure the Orange
handbrake wire is not connected, then put the system in and out of Valet Mode (remote valet, ignition valet or using the valet
switch; for more details, consult the user guide) or simply reset the system.
Transmitter Programming Procedure
1. Flash the hood pin (see page 1) —the parking lights will stay on for up to 20 seconds.
2. Before the lights go out, turn the ignition key to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position and immediately to the OFF position.
3. Press and hold the I button and keep it down until the parking lights flash 5 times quickly.
4. The transmitter has been stored in memory.
5. To exit: close the hood. Note: Each unit can store 4 remotes in its memory.

Tach jumper settings
Some new vehicles have a higher TACH voltage threshold,
which would fall out of the normal TACH trigger circuit of the
remote car starter. Changing the jumper to TACH Threshold
HIGH will allow the module to properly detect the TACH
signal.
Testing
Before putting back the vehicle together, it is recommended
to check that the system operates properly. The following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and
operation of the system. Before testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.
Make sure the system properly enters and exits ready mode:
Ready mode is a sequence of steps that must be followed in order to allow manual transmission vehicles to be
If Ready Mode is enabled by remote If Ready Mode is enabled by handbrake
1. Ensure that all the doors, hood and trunk are closed. Make sure that the gear selector is in the neutral position.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake
once and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
2. With the engine already running, apply the parking brake
twice and release the brake pedal.
Make sure to release the brake pedal.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
Skip to step 4.
3. Within 20 sec. of engaging the parking brake, press and
hold I or n on the transmitter.
The parking lights will flash 3 times quickly and
remain lit.
4. Remove the key: the engine will continue running.
5. Exit the vehicle and close all doors, hood and trunk.
6. Press for approx. 1 second either button I or n.
The system will exit ready mode if a door or the hood is opened, if the brake pedal is pressed, if the parking
brake is disengaged or if the ignition key is turned to the IGNITION ON (RUN) position.
□ Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out another tach
programming procedure.
□ Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the vehicle
should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.
□ Brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, press and release the brake
pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check the brake switch
connection.
□ Parking brake shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under remote start, disengage the parking brake. The
engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check the parking brake switch connection.
□ OEM alarm control. Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm the OEM alarm (if applicable).
□ Door pin shutdown circuit. Make sure the system exits ready mode when each door is opened while the
vehicle is running under a remote start. (Test each door.)
□ Door locks and trunk testing. Make sure each of these options respond to the transmitter (if installed).
□ Starter kill option. Sit inside the vehicle with all doors closed. Arm the vehicle, then try to start the engine with
the key. They engine should not start. If the engine starts, rewire the starter kill to reach proper operation.
□ Valet mode. Make sure the remote car starter is able to properly enter and exit valet mode. When setting the
remote car starter into valet mode, pressing the lock button will lock the doors without activating the starter kill.
(Refer to the user guide for further information on valet mode.)
□ Idle mode. Make sure the vehicle properly enters and exits idle mode.
□ Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the
time to properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises.
Doing this will save time and money.
