times in succession. The parking lights will flash, and the siren will chirp 3 times confirming that
selected feature 3 can be changed.
7 . Use the start button on the transmitter to change the selection of the programmable feature. If you are
not sure what the setting for any feature is, press the start button one time, the parking lights will flash
once or twice indicating the features setting.
NOTE: Once you've entered the program mode DO NOT allow more than 15 seconds to pass between steps,
or the programming mode will be terminated.
Programming Tach Rate:
NOTE: All applications require that tach be programmed.
The unit will not operate unless tach is programmed. If an attempt is made to start the vehicle via the remote start
without first programming tach, the unit will flash the parking lights 7 times indicating tach has not been learned and
stored. If the tach rate is not properly programmed to the specific vehicle, the unit may not realize that the vehicle is
running in certain instances reengage the starter motor.
The Remote Start Unit will learn the tach rate of most vehicle's single coil, multiple coil packs, or single
injector. To learn tach.
1. Turn the ignition key to the On position.
2. Press and release the valet/program push button switch 3 times.
3. Immediately turn the ignition key Off.
4. Press and hold the valet/program push button switch, then start the vehicle using the key.
5. When the unit senses the tach signal, the parking lights will begin to flash.
6. Release the valet/program pushbutton switch. The parking lights will turn on for three seconds to indicate
that the learned tach signal is stored and the unit is out of the tach learn mode.
NOTE: If the unit fails to learn tach rate due to an improper tachometer connection or a poor tach source, the
parking lights will not flash.
To correct this situation, locate and connect the Green/Orange wire to the proper tach signal, and then repeat
the tach learn routine.
Diagnostics:
Enter selectable feature #7 and turn on as described above.
NOTE: Diagnostic mode is a temporary mode. Once you have accessed the diagnostic mode, the unit will
pause for two seconds then begin to flash the last stored shut down code. This code will be displayed three
times in succession, then the unit will automatically exit the diagnostic on mode.
The parking lights will flash a number of times indicating the reason for the last remote start shutdown. The
light flash indications are as follows:
1 Flash Run timer expired
2 Flashes Low or no tach signal (RPM)
3 Flashes Positive or Negative inhibit wire activation
4 Flashes Control switch moved to the off position
5 Flashes RF shutdown, Remote signal received, or manual start trigger wire reactivated.
6 Flashes High tach signal (RPM)
7 Flashes Tach signal has not been learned
Multi Coil Pack Adaptor: (Optional)
The multi coil pack adaptor is designed for use with vehicles having multiple ignition coils where a single point
tach signal is unavailable, or non responsive. P/N 136B1400
To use the adaptor, the Green/Black wires must connect to the negative side of the ignition coil(s).
1. For vehicles utilizing independent coils per cylinder, connect the three Green/Black leads to alternate
coils. To achieve optimum performance the coil signals must be evenly distributed. This is accomplished
by first mapping out the firing order of the engine in groups of as indicated below. Draw a circle around any
of the columns. The Green/Black wires should be connected to the negative (-) terminal of the respective
cylinder number which appears in any of the circles.
2. For vehicles utilizing 2 cylinder firing per coil pack, connect Green/Black to the tach side of each coil
pack. For 8 cylinder, four coil systems, connect to any of the three coils.
3. Connect the Yellow wire to a +12 volt ignition 1 source. This wire will have +12 volts with the ignition in the
on and start position and have 0 volts with the ignition in the off position.
4. Connect the Green wire to the (Green) or (Orange/Green) tach input of the Audiovox remote start unit.
