VIOLET
(+) Door pin
input
This input should be used in vehicles that use a positive-switching Dome Light circuit.
Connect to a Door trigger wire testing +12 V with a Door open.
CAUTION! You can only use a negative or a positive connection. In other words, only
the NEGATIVE DOOR INPUT or the POSITIVE DOOR INPUT wire is connected. It is essential
that the Module be connected in such a way as to allow each Door to turn off Ready
Mode: the driver-side Door Pin does not constitute by itself a sufficient connection.

ORANGE
(–) Starter Kill
(armed output)
The unit is equipped with a selectable passive- or active-arming Starter Kill circuit that
will immobilize the vehicle when the system is armed. This wire will provide a constant
500-mA negative output when the system is armed (locked by remote) or if remote
started. This wire should be connected to a Single Pole Double-Throw Relay (This wire
will connect to pin 85, on the Relay, and pin 86 will be connected to the Ignition wire).
A second benefit of the Starter Kill is the Anti-Grind feature. When the vehicle has been
remote started the Anti-Grind prevents the starter motor from re-engaging when the
ignition key is inserted in the Ignition switch and accidentally turned to the
CRANK position
(The Starter Kill output becomes active during remote starts).
8
BLACK/WHITE
(–) Parking
brake Input
Connect to the negative Parking brake Indicator Light wire of the vehicle. This wire is
found at the parking brake lever itself.
Note: The wire should test ground when the Parking brake is engaged.
9
WHITE/BLUE
(–) External
Trigger input
N/A
10
BLUE/BLACK
(–) Ground out
when running
500 mA constant negative output when running.
This output becomes active before remote Ignition On, and shuts off when the module is
shut down.
Note: If multiple relays or modules are connected to the ground out wire, make sure that
each one of them is diode-isolated from the others. Otherwise feedback effects may
occur, which could damage the vehicle and/or the modules, relays, and bypass modules.
11
GREEN
(-) Door Input
This input should be used in vehicles using a negative-switching Dome Light circuit.
Connect to the Door trigger wire that tests ground with a Door open.
It should be noted that the installer should use either the positive or the negative Door
input, and never use both of them simultaneously.
12
GRAY/BLACK
(+) Glow-plug
input
This positive input will monitor the Glow Plug Light in Diesel Mode: it will wait until the
Glow Plug Light goes out to crank the Engine. Connect to the side of the Glow Plug Light
that becomes positive when the Light is on.
Note: In Diesel Mode there is an 18-sec. crank timing delay (or approximately 25-sec. if
the run time is set to 30 min.): if the Glow Plug Light is still on after the delay expires, the
module will proceed to start the Engine.
(Also known as the “wait-to-start light”.) The purpose of the Glow-plug circuit on diesel
vehicles is to pre-heat the Combustion Chamber before the vehicle is started.
When a Remote Starter is installed on a diesel vehicle, the Glow- plug section of the
Ignition circuit must be activated and allowed to operate before the vehicle is remote-
started. For that purpose, the Glow-plug input wire of the module must be connected to
the Glow-plug indicator light of the vehicle. The module will only accept positive Glow-plug
input signals, if the signal is negative, use a relay to invert its polarity. A diode must be
added between the negative Glow-plug trigger on the relay and the negative Glow-plug
wire of the car. This is to prevent feedback effects on the Glow-plug indicator light on the
instrument cluster: the light on the dash would come on because of the feedback, even
though the circuit is off.
When the user remote-starts the vehicle:
The module will power up the Ignition circuit and wait to engage the Starter Motor while
the Glow-plug indicator light is still on.
The module will engage the Starter Motor as soon as the Glow-plug light (+) goes out.
Minimum waiting time is 3 seconds.
Maximum waiting time is 30 seconds (approximately).
