Remote Car Starter Model 40026 PDF Installation Manual

On cars with airbags, you may notice bright yellow tubes or harnesses marked SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) underneath the steering column area. DO NOT tamper with these wires in any way, to prevent personal injury and/or damage to the air bag system. On GM rear-wheel drive vehicles built prior to 1995 and Dodge Dakota trucks built prior to 1996, see the last page of this instruction manual. Some installers connect a battery charger to the vehicle’s bat- tery during installation. This is fine, but it must be removed before running the vehicle under remote starter control.

The remote starter module will be installed under the dash once all wiring has been completed. Do not mount the module at this time! You will need to check the red diagnostic LED light as the installa- tion progresses. Locate (or drill) a hole in the firewall to run the PURPLE and GREEN wires of the Control Harness and the PINK wire of the Power Harness into the engine compartment. The remaining short wires stay in the passenger area. Leave about a foot of the wire harness under the dash for ease of working and visual access to the diagnostic light. Connect the BLACK wire to a very good, clean chassis ground in the driver’s kick panel area. Use the small ring terminal. (The thin metal bracing around or beneath the dash board is not always adequate.) Connect the ring terminal at the end of the short PINK wire to the +12 Volt terminal of the battery. Run the long pink wire through the firewall of your vehicle. Join the remaining ends of the power wire together by soldering them. Tape with electrical tape to leave no exposed wires. Alternatively, you may wish to use the yellow butt connector, but we recommend soldering. Wait to insert the 30 amp green fuse into the holder until step 11.

The vehicle’s wires are found coming off of the key switch. Remove the panel under the steering column to access these wires. Connect the BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle. This wire will measure +12 Volts on the test meter in the “run” and “start” posi- tion, and is off in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions. Connect the GREEN wire to the Ignition 2 wire in the vehicle. The Ignition 2 wire can function in several different ways in your vehicle. It is important to understand how it works. The Ignition 2 wire will usually measure +12 Volts in the “run” position and is off (ground) in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions. In certain vehicles, it may also show +12 Volts in the “Start” position or Ignition 2 may turn OFF during “Crank” and turn back ON after the starter disengages. Care- fully note the function of the Ignition 2 wire. If the Ignition 2 turns OFF during “Crank”, see Changing Ignition 2 Function in section 23. If Ignition 2 stays ON during “Crank,” no options need to be changed. Connect the WHITE wire to the accessory wire which is +12 Volts in the “run” and “accessory” position, but off in the “start” and “off” posi- tions. In most GM vehicles, connect the white wire to the orange wire that is hot in “run” only. Connection of the LED-On/0ff Control Switch is mandatory. Do not let the switch wires touch ground. Mount the control switch so that it is easily seen and accessible. If a hole is to be drilled to route the switch wire, make sure there is enough clearance behind and noth- ing can be damaged by the drill. Use a 1/4″ drill-bit for the mounting hole. Plug the switch connector into the module just to the right of the control harness.

The LED will turn Red when the switch is turned ON and the LED will turn Green when the switch is turned OFF. The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the remote starter. It prevents op- eration of the remote starter when the hood is open and is used to initialize and program the unit. Connect the PURPLE wire to the hood pin switch us- ing the red connector. Note: If you already have a hood pin switch which is being used by a car alarm system, you may share the wiring – but be sure to diode isolate each wire going to the hood pin switch with the bands of diodes pointing towards the pin switch as shown on the previous page. Connect the ORANGE wire to the brake wire which receives +12 Volts when the brake pedal is depressed. This wire must be connected. It arms a critical safety feature which disables the remote starter when the brake pedal is depressed.

BEFORE THE UNIT WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU MUST INITIALIZE THE REMOTE STARTER A. Insert the fuse into the pink fuse holder on the pink power wire. B. The remote starter requires the installer to open the hood and then press and hold the brake pedal. Note: The ignition/dash lights will come on if the unit is not initialized. C. While depressing the brake (with the engine off and the hood open) turn the ignition key to the “RUN” (not “start”) position. D. Put the car in “DRIVE” from the “PARK” position. E . Put the car back in “PARK” and release the brake. F . Turn the key off and remove the key. Note: Confirm initialization by looking at the control switch/LED. If the control switch/LED is Green, the unit is initialized. Push the control switch once, LED turn Red. Unit is ready to try to remotely start. If the unit is not initialized, control switch/LED is Off. The dash lights will come on (the remote starter powers up the ignition wires) when the brake is depressed or the hood is open, and the control/valet switch is on. REPEAT STEPS A THROUGH G. See the colored Trouble Shooting Sheets if necessary. The Remote Starter has two ways of monitoring the car during the starting process. Both ways will ensure a clean, accurate start. Read about both methods before deciding which one to use. Normally you should try the “No Tach™” method first. “No Tach™” Starting (recommended for most vehicles) This starting method does not require the connection of the GREEN tach wire.

This method will start the car by reading the car’s voltage before attempting to start, and then looking for a voltage increase when the alternator kicks in. This feature automatically takes into account voltage, temperature, and the time since the vehicle was last run. The “No-Tach™” starting is preset at the factory and you can skip step 12B ™ if you would like to use it. Note that if the vehicle is hard to start, set option #3 [Setting Program Features section (step 22)] for “extended crank.” Tachometer sensing If the vehicle is generally hard to start (i.e. requiring a cranking time of more than 1 second) you will get more accurate starting with the tachometer sensing starting method. This method starts the car by reading the engine speed (tach) information from a wire under the hood. If you choose tachometer sensing, connect the GREEN (18) ….
