TACH (RPM) REFERENCE MODE / TACH FINDER MODE / TACH PROGRAMMING
Tach Reference Mode provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using Tach
Reference Mode, the Red/White 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 Data.
TACH FINDER MODE:
This system includes a Tach Finder mode to assist in locating a valid or viable tach source for your installation. Follow
the Tach Finder steps to locate and /or verify a tach signal. If you are already aware of a good Tach source for your
vehicle, then you may go directly to TACH PROGRAMMING steps. Note that on vehicles 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 (or ground Gray 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 Red/White wire is connected to a valid tach source. If not try a different wire until one
is located.
5. Once Tach is located then turn off engine and close hood. (un-ground Gray wire).
6. See Tach programming below.
TACH PROGRAMMING:
1. Open hood (or ground Gray hood pin wire if no safety hood pin is installed.)
2. Red/White wire should be connected to a valid Tach source.
3. Start engine with key.
4. Press program button 5 times, then wait for 5 light flashes.
5. Push program button again 4 times. (You must get a light flash after button is pressed.) This unit is now at
option #4-Tach Learning.
6. Press the #1 Lock/Unlock Button on remote transmitter. The unit will read the Tach source and flash the lights
once for program confirmation.
7. If lights do not flash once for confirmation, then try another tach source.
