TACH MODE & TACH FINDER FEATURE
Tach Reference Mode provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using
Tach Reference Mode, the WHITE/RED wire is used for Tach signal [Engine RPM] input. Most modern engines
include various points where the Engine Speed [Tach] or A/C signal may be obtained. Tach Signal examples:
Negative (-) side of ignition coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or
Crankshaft Sensor. Sometimes Fuel injection solenoids, and Alternator stator pins can be used. These Tach Signal
locations mentioned are provided as a guide, your vehicle may differ. Some locations will NOT be a good location
for Tach source due to RF noise or Computer Data. Use the TACH FINDER feature if needed.
TACH FINDER FEATURE:
The Tach Finder mode can assist you in locating or verifying a Tach source for your installation. Follow the Tach
Finder steps below to locate signal. The unit will begin to flash the parking lights if you have the White/Red wire
connected to a valid tach source. If lights do not flash, then try another wire until you locate a tach signal that will
cause the Parking lights to flash. NOTE: On vehicles equipped with daytime running lights, it may be difficult to see
any flashing parking lights. In this case your only notification will be the slight “ticking” sound coming out of the
module from the on-board flashing light relay.
TACH FINDER:
1. Open hood (Ground the Blue Hood Pin wire if no hood pin is installed)
2. Start Engine with the key.
3. Press the Program button for 2 seconds
4. Lights will begin flashing if the White/Red wire is connected to a valid tach
5. Once Tach is located then turn off engine and close hood to abort.
6. See Tach Reference programming below.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
1. Open hood (Ground Blue wire if no hood pin installed.)

4. Press program button 5 times, then wait for 5 light flashes.
5. Wait at least one second then push program button again (1) time, you should get a light flash with the button
press. This unit is now at option #1 for Tach Learning.
6. Press the #1 Lock Button on remote transmitter. The unit will read and program the Tach source. The lights
