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.
□ If installed on a MANUAL transmission, 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.

a. LOCK to lock the doors and shut down the engine;
b. UNLOCK to unlock the doors and shut down the engine;
c. START/STOP to shut down the engine without affecting the doors.
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 the system, 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. (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.
