Proper Wire Splicing Techniques Remote Start 1

GENERAL PROCEDURES

Proper SplicingTechniques

NOTE: Follow this procedure when a wire can bespliced without cutting the wire in half.

1. Strip approximately two inches of insulationfrom the wire to be installed in the vehicle.

4. Insert the new wire between the parted strands.If more than one wire is being spliced, wrapthem in opposite directions.

2. On the vehicle wire to be spliced into, strip oneinch of insulation form the wire.

NOTE: Use Rosin Core Mildly-Activated (RMA)Solder. Do not use Acid Core Solder.

5. Wrap the new wire around one side of the splitstands, then wrap it around the other side.

• Solder the connection.

3. On the vehicle wire to be spliced into, separatethe strands to allow the new wire to be placedbetween the parted strands of wire.

• Tape the wires together as shown in theillustration.

NOTE: Use Rosin Core Mildly-Activated (RMA)Solder. Do not use Acid Core Solder.

3. Lay the upper strand of wire to one side, thenlay the lower strand of wire to the other side asshown in the illustration.

Splicing End to End Connections • Solder the wires together.

NOTE: When both ends of the wire are cut, usethe end to end wire splicing procedure.

NOTE: Follow the steps below for end to end wiresplicing.

1. To make an end to end connection, start bystripping one inch of insulation from each ofthe wires. Part each wire into equal strands asshown in the illustration.

4. Wrap the connection with electrical tape so thetape covers the wires approximately two incheson either side of the connection.

2. Place the wires next to each other and twist theupper and lower strands together as shown.

Programming Bi-directional Remote Start

87. Use the following guidelines for programming the RMST system.

• If the remote start options (Key-in sense polarity, door ajar polarity, or tach mode) are notprogrammed correctly, vehicle will not remote start or operate properly.

• Make sure that the hood and doors are closed before proceeding.

• The LED on the remote start harness must be visible to complete module programming.

• The remote start override button must be accessible.

Programming Options: Entering Programming Mode88. See chart below for programming information.

112.Once all systems have been checked, open the door or press the brake pedal - the remote startsystems should shut down.

Troubleshooting113.NOTE:

When attempting to remote start the vehicle, the system has several safety checks that it performs. Ifany of these inputs are present that should not be, the system will respond back with several horn"chirps" to help identify which input is present. These "chirps" will occur after initiating a startsequence with the transmitter. The system will turn on the ignition, but then respond back withseveral horn "chirps" and abort the starting process.

Example: Depress the remote start fob button for 3 seconds and then release. The vehicle horn will"chirp" one time to indicate that RMST signal was received. If the vehicle does not start and thehorn "chirps" 3 times, there is a fault - "Vehicle Door is Open"

Troubleshooting99. NOTE:When attempting to remote start the vehicle, the system has several safety checks that it

performs. If any of these inputs are present that should not be, the system will respond back withseveral horn "chirps" to help identify which input is present. These "chirps" will occur afterinitiating a start sequence with the transmitter. The system will turn on the ignition, but thenrespond back with several horn "chirps" and abort the starting process.Example: Depress the remote start fob button for 3 seconds and then release. The vehicle horn will"chirp" one time to indicate that RMST signal was received. If the vehicle does not start and thehorn "chirps" 3 times, there is a fault - "Vehicle Door is Open"

Antenna Mounting

NOTE: For good range of operation, the antenna must be installed correctly.

NOTE: Keep these points in mind when selecting a location and mounting the antenna.

• Do not mount the antenna behind or on any metal film or window tinting on the windshield.• Do not mount the antenna so that one of the antenna elements touches or crosses any vehicle wiring

and/or metal.• On vehicles without metal film in the windshield around the rear view mirror, mount the antenna

between the headliner and the rear view mirror.• On vehicles equipped with an electronic mirror, or on vehicles with metal film around the rearview

mirror, mount the antenna approximately 3 inches below the mirror attachment point to thewindshield and/or mirror electronics.

15. Choose a suitable mounting location based on the guidelines above.

Install The Antenna16. Clean the mounting surface using an alcohol base solution and a clean cloth.

17. NOTE: Do not touch the adhesive, reduced adhesion may result.

NOTE: Make sure that the long wire on the antenna is pointing towards the top of the windshield since thiswire will be routed along the headliner.

Troubleshooting77. NOTE:

When attempting to remote start your vehicle, the system has several safety checks that it performs.If any of these inputs are present that should not be, the system will respond back to you withseveral horn "chirps" to help you identify which input is present. These "chirps" will occur afterinitiating a start sequence with the transmitter, the system will turn on the ignition, but then respondback with several horn "chirps" and abort the starting process.

Example: Depress the RMST fob button for 3 seconds and then release. The vehicle horn will"chirp" one time to indicate that RMST signal was received. If the vehicle doesn't start and the horn"chirps" 3 times, there is a fault - "Vehicle Door is Open"
