P. 4 Installation Guide AS-1820 FM
Ƈ When installing a manual-transmission
product on a vehicle with a manual
Transmission, make sure that the Parking
Brake and Door Switch contacts work
properly.
Ƈ When working on a vehicle, always leave a
window open.
Ƈ Never leave the keys in the car. Leave
them on a workbench with a window rolled
down.
Ƈ If possible, remove courtesy light fuse to
prevent battery drain.
Ƈ The
PROGRAMMING ASSISTANCE BUTTON (PAB)
The PAB is mounted on the side of the
Remote Car Starter unit and fulfils the same
function as the Hood-Pin Switch. The PAB
will spare installers the effort of getting out
of the vehicle to access the Hood-Pin
Switch. The PAB works only when the
Hood is up.
Ƈ Inspect vehicle for any body damage or
electrical problems
Ƈ Always solder and tape all connections.
Ƈ Keep the Antenna away from other types of
antennas (GPS/OnStar).
Ƈ Never install the control unit where it could
interfere with normal operation or obstruct
service technicians.
Ƈ Always use a grommet when running wires
into the Engine compartment. Never run
wires through bare or sharp metal.
Ƈ Do not disconnect the battery on vehicles
equipped with air bags and anti-theft radios.
Ƈ Never ground the control unit to the
vehicle’s steering column.
Ƈ Make sure that all the switches and controls
operate properly.
Ƈ Verify that the vehicle starts and idles
properly.
Ƈ Make sure that all safety equipment is
installed: the Valet Button (if provided), the
Hood Switch and the Warning Label.
Ƈ When wiring in parallel, make sure you
isolate each connection with a diode in
order to avoid feedback and possible
damage.
Examples:
Wiring a Clutch Bypass and a
Transponder Module to the
GROUND OUT
WHEN RUNNING
wire: At the junction point,
where the
GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING wire
“splits” and connects to each device, a
diode is inserted on each of these lines.
Multiple or separate Door pin Connec-
tions:
When joining all Door Pins together to the
Door Pin input wire of the Remote Car
Starter unit, each wire must be isolated with
a diode to prevent feedback.
Note: The above examples reflect common
situations where diodes are use to isolate
connections. Please note that there are
numerous other cases where diode isolation
is required.
Ƈ Always make sure that all external relays or
modules added to the Remote Car Starter
unit are properly fused and diode isolated.
Ƈ On vehicles equipped with daytime running
lights, the installer may be unable to see
certain programming results since the
daytime running lights never go out.
Note: The Parking Light Output Relay of the
unit gives two clicking sounds for each flash
of the lights: one click when the lights would
go
ON and one click when the lights would
go OFF.)
Ƈ Parking Light flashes to which the text
refers throughout this manual refer to the
Parking Light output of the unit, not of the
vehicle.
Harness Description
When connecting a Remote Car Starter, it is important to make sure that the connector with the
Ground wire is connected first, before making the 12-volt connections. Should the Unit be powered
up before being grounded, there could be serious damage to internal components of the Unit.
