INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS / WARNINGS
To ease and reduce installation time, we suggest you consider the following points before starting.
1. Determine most suitable locations for all components to be placed. These components include: the
module itself, override / programming switches, and possible relays.
2. Use a Volt-Ohm meter to test and locate all connections.
3. Record all color codes of vehicle wiring to be used for reference. This will save time by not having to
re-test the same wires over again.
4. Allow enough wire to create a service loop with strain relief, should servicing be required. This will
also allow easier access and mounting.
**FOR SAFETY REASONS, DO NOT INSTALL RS900/901 in vehicles with MANUAL
TRANSMISSIONS.** If accidentally left in gear, a remote started vehicle could become a self-propelled
threat to life and property.
DO NOT extend the RS-900 Remote start ignition harness length. Mount the module so that main
harness reaches all ignition switch wiring. Extending these wires could result in poor performance.
DO NOT route any wiring that may become entangled with brake, and gas pedals, steering column, or
any other moving parts in the vehicle.
DO NOT exceed the rated output current of any circuit on the Remote start module. Failure to observe
this warning will result in damage to the unit.
DO NOT remote start the vehicle in a closed garage. Make sure that the garage door is open or there is
adequate ventilation. Failure to observe this rule could result in injury or death from poisonous Carbon
Monoxide fumes.

Warning: This system DOES NOT HAVE engine over-rev protection. Make certain
vehicle throttle linkage operates properly and does not stick. A stuck throttle will
cause severe engine damage

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
PROGRAM/OVERRIDE SWITCH: 2 PIN PLUG
This switch is used primarily for programming features of the RS900/901. However, if the Anti-Grind/Starter disable
feature is installed, you MUST INSTALL this switch. This switch will allow the user to override the starter disable in
the event of a non-operating remote control.

8 PIN PLUG:
PIN 1: TAN: MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUT 1
This output comes pre-programmed to provide a ground pulse to disarm the vehicles' FACTORY anti-theft system
prior to ignition on and 2 seconds after start for Defroster activation. This output can also be changed to operate as
a Remote controlled output for trunk release. See Programming Section.
For OEM Disarm: Connect this wire to the vehicles' anti-theft disarm wire. This wire is usually found coming off the
Driver's door keyswitch or the Factory Anti-theft control module.
For Defroster Activation: Connect this wire to the vehicle's defroster activation switch. It may be necessary to use
a relay. If using both OEM Disarm and Defrost Activation, Use relays to isolate the two circuits from operating
simultaneously, or use diodes to isolate interference.
PIN 2: ORANGE: MULTI-FUNCTION OUTPUT 2
Output 2 comes pre-programmed to operate as the Anti-Grind/Starter Disable output. It can also be used for the
sensor disable circuit for a host alarm. This output activates whenever a remote start is requested, and when the
vehicle is remotely locked with the transmitter. Connect this wire to terminal 85 of a relay. See diagram below.

PIN 8: RED/WHITE: (+/-) TACHOMETER/VACUUM SENSE


This wire MUST BE CONNECTED to the vehicle to sense the engine running. This is so the control module can
control the starter motor to determine when to disengage the starter and to prevent the starter from engaging when
the engine is running.

This system has three methods of sensing an engine running condition:


• True Tach Learning: This is the best and most reliable method.
• Semi-Tachless/Timed Starting: An alternative for vehicles with hard to locate tach sources.
• Vacuum Sensing: When all else fails.
TACH LEARING MODE
The TACH LEARNING MODE is the most reliable and consistent method of engine speed sensing. This wire looks
for the pulsing signal that is created to monitor the engine speed or fire the coil. Most modern ignition systems utilize
a crankshaft sensor to monitor the engine speed. There are 4 different types of signals that may provide adequate
signal for TACH SENSE:
Type 1 - Will be a computer-controlled ignition. On these systems the engine speed reference (tach) may come
from several possible locations. The wire may be found at: Distributor, Ignition Module, Coil Pack, Engine
Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor. THIS WILL BE THE MOST RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT SIGNAL.
Type 2 - Will be a standard ignition coil. Connect the RED/WHITE 22-gauge wire to the negative(-) side of coil.
Note: The coil MAY NOT BE A GOOD LOCATION FOR TACH SOURCE. The coil wire may be too noisy for the
system to detect a clean signal and/or the vehicle uses a Multi-spark ignition system that varies the spark.
Type 3 - Will be computer controlled fuel injection solenoids. This wire can be found at the Injectors in the
engine compartment or at the engine computer.
Type 4 - Will be the Alternator Stator pin on the alternator. This is found on many GM and Ford Diesel trucks
from the mid 1980's through the mid 1990's.
Use the Tach Finder Mode below to locate your tach source wire.

TACH-FINDER MODE
TACH-FINDER MODE is a unique feature to help installers easily identify wires which may be POSSIBLE sources
for an engine speed reference by using the same RED/WHITE wire to probe ANY wiring, WITHOUT RISK TO THE
COMPUTER SYSTEMS.
Tach-Finder may be operated by following the procedure below:
1) OPEN HOOD (ground GRAY hood switch wire) and Start engine.
2) Depress and Hold the BRAKE PEDAL and THEN PRESS THE PROGRAM BUTTON until the parking lights
come on solid.
3) Connect the RED/WHITE tach wire to a scribe or sharp probe. It may be necessary to extend RED/WHITE wire.
Probe the wires that may provide the proper signal. Warning: be certain to protect yourself from electrical
shock!!
4) Start probing wires, When a wire with a pulsing signal is probed, the parking lights will start FLASHING.
5) At this time, turn engine/ignition off. Parking lights will stay ON.
6) Verify tach signal. Turn Ignition ON but DO NOT START ENGINE and probe the same wire.
A) If parking lights start FLASHING, you have found a DATA wire. This wire will tell the system the engine is
running even if it the engine is not running. RESTART ENGINE and Repeat steps 4-6 with another wire.
B) If parking lights stay SOLID then START ENGINE. If park lights stay on SOLID after engine is started,
there is no tach source. Repeat steps 4 through 6 to locate another wire. If park lights start FLASHING
after engine is started, the tach source may be valid.
7) Turn engine OFF, park lights will remain ON. Permanently connect RED/WHITE wire to the located tach lead.
8) Now it is time to PROGRAM the TACH REFERENCE:
A) Start engine (with hood open), parking lights should start flashing.
B) Depress and hold BRAKE PEDAL down.
C) Press and hold PROGRAM SWITCH for 2 seconds. Parking lights will stop flashing while button is
depressed.
D) Turn Ignition OFF, close hood. Parking Lights will still be ON. Tach Programming is now complete.
E) Depress BRAKE PEDAL to clear parking lights.
TACH WIRE TROUBLESHOOTING
If all remote start wiring has been completed, attempt a remote start. If engine starts, and starter disengages
quickly, and engine continues to run, the tach wire has been properly connected.
** If system does not remote start properly, you will have to locate a different tach wire and reprogram.
AN INADEQUATE TACH SOURCE WILL PRESENT ANY VARIETY OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:
• Starter stays engaged after engine starts.
• Starter releases properly when engine starts, but engine then stalls BEFORE the time out. System may re-start.
• Starter releases properly, and engine runs, but then starter re-engages. (This makes a terrible grinding noise
and the system must be shut off as quickly as possible to prevent damage to starter and flywheel). See "Tach
Amplifier" below and on next page for other alternatives in solving starting problems!

TACH AMPLIFIER
The Tach Amplifier feature is capable of detecting engine speed inductively (not connected directly but rather placed
next to) from a spark plug wire or other source. This Tach Amp also has the ability of picking up very low voltage
signals (as low as 1 volt) from vehicle computer modules, which more and more are driving the Tachometers in
newer vehicles. In addition to the ability to detect signals inductively, the tach amplifier also conditions and
smoothes the signal to prevent spiking and glitches from influencing the Remote Start processor. Tach amp is
turned on or off by a jumper plug on the unit next to the harness connectors. The unit is shipped with the tach amp
off. Tach amp should be used only in cases where an acceptable factory tach wire cannot be easily located. SEE
DIAGRAM.

SEMI-TACHLESS MODE
This new feature provides an easy method of starting the vehicle without locating the exact tach wire required. It
uses a timed crank output combined with the tach wire as a crude pulse monitor. This combination prevents the
starter from engaging into an already running engine and provides a reliable method of detecting when restart is
required. There are 4 different crank times available for use.

HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE:


1) Program the "Engine Sense" for "Timed Crank".
2) Next program the "Crank Time" to the appropriate time required for engine starting. This is determined by
starting the engine with the key and estimating the amount of time it takes before the engine begins to run. We
recommend starting with the minimum time which is already preset for 0.75 sec.
3) Connect the RED/WHITE tach wire to ANY negative coil trigger wire, OR see Tach Amplifier instructions on
previous page. The system is now configured for Semi-Tachless operation.

WARNING: This method of starting the vehicle is not as reliable as using the TRUE TACH LEARNING.
This method should be used only in the event that a tach wire can not be located using the normal tach
programming and tach amplifier. When using this method, there may be certain operating anomalies
requiring seasonal adjustments. These are, but not limited to:
• Starter may undercrank in extreme cold weather. Vehicle may start on 2nd or 3rd attempt, or will
require programming.
• In warm weather starter may tend to overcrank, and may require reprogramming from the winter
setting.

VACUUM SWITCH
This is to be used only in the event that a tach sense wire can not be found. A simple Vacuum controlled
switch, installed on the intake side of the engine, is used to signal the starter module that the engine is running.
When the engine is NOT running, the switch rests at ground. When the engine starts, the engine vacuum opens the
switch causing the ground to go away. This tells the starter module the engine is running. Connect Vacuum Switch
per the instructions included with switch. Vacuum mode is programmable. Make certain tach amplifier is off.

On most AMERICAN and JAPANESE vehicles, the parking lights will operate on a single fused circuit. You may
connect WHITE wire directly to the wire of any parking light or at main lighting switch.

NOTE: Some JAPANESE vehicles use a negative triggered relay to activate parking lights. Use a relay to convert
to ground switch or tap into the positive circuit of the parking lights after the Factory relay. On most EUROPEAN
vehicles, the light circuits are separately fused for left and right. Each circuit must be individually connected and
isolated from one another. This can be done by using two(2) 6A05 6 Amp diodes, OR one(1) BOSCH SPST dual
output relay(part no. 0-332-015-001).

DETERMINING DOOR LOCK TYPE:

WARNING: You must determine the type of locking system the vehicle has before connecting
any wires. Incorrect connection will result in damage to the remote start and/or vehicle locking
system. Use 1 amp diodes as shown in the diagram below when tapping into a Factory
Positive or Negative door lock system to protect the output transistors against a dead short
from some types of Factory locking systems.

There are several types of door lock systems in vehicles today. Below is listed the many types of common
locking systems:

TESTING FOR REVERSE POLARITY DOOR LOCKS WITH A VOM
(5 wire switch)

Reverse Polarity Door Lock Systems are a series circuit in which one switch serves as a "master" source for the
motor grounds. When any switch in the circuit is pressed, one of the grounds is "lifted" and voltage is applied to the
open circuit causing the locks to activate.
Set meter to VOLT scale sufficient to measure up to 15 volts.
Connect RED meter probe to constant +12 volt source.
Locate the door lock wires in either the driver's or passenger’s kick panel. Use the BLACK probe of the
meter check the wires one at a time:

Connect meter to first wire, meter should read about 12 volts. Press the LEFT door lock switch to the lock position,
then unlock position. Now press the RIGHT door lock switch to the lock, then unlock positions. If BOTH
SWITCHES make the wire read 0 volt, it is the WRONG WIRE (it's a motor wire). TRY ANOTHER WIRE. If ONLY
ONE SWITCH makes the meter read 0 volt, then it is the CORRECT WIRE and that switch is the "MASTER". When
meter reads 0 Volts when LOCK is pressed, that wire is the LOCK wire. If Meter Reads 0 Volts when UNLOCK
position is pressed, that wire is the UNLOCK wire. REMEMBER - CORRECT WIRES will show 0 volts from ONLY 1
SWITCH. Repeat the test procedure above for second wire.

6) CLOSE HOOD FIRST, Then press and release BRAKE PEDAL to clear parking lights.

Programmable Options:
This system has several installer programmable features. Below is a brief description of these features.

Option #1 - Crank Time:


This programs the amount of time the starter cranks. This programming works ONLY when Option #2 (Engine
Sense) is programmed to Value 2 (Timed Crank).
Option #2 - Engine Sense:
This programs the TYPE of Engine monitoring the system uses. Value 1 (Tach sensing) is the most reliable and
accurate. Value 2 (Timed Crank) is for "Semi-Tachless Mode” when there is only poor or dirty tach signals that
cannot be cleaned up. Value 3 (Vacuum) This requires installing an additional Vacuum Switch.
Option #3 – Remote Auxiliary Output:
This programs the remote output of the system for activating a trunk release. Value 1 is No Output. Value 2
enables the output to operate on Multi-Function Output Wire #2 (Orange wire). Value 3 enables the output to
operate on Multi-Function Output Wire #1 (Tan wire).
Option #4 - Double Unlock Pulse:
Programs UNLOCK Pulse to be either a single or double pulse. Makes the installation into vehicles such as
Nissan's and Volkswagens that require an additional pulse for Factory DISARM very easy.
Option #5 - Lock after Remote Start TIME-OUT or ABORT:
Programs system to re-lock power door locks after remote engine start turns off. This is to ensure that vehicles
which come equipped with factory ignition controlled door locks will not leave the vehicle unlocked. (Many GM’s
such as Buick)
Option #6 – Run Time:
Program the desired run time for remote start. The programmed run time also applies to the Idle-Down feature.
Value 1 is 10 min., Value 2 is 20 min., and Value 3 is 40 min.
