P. 28 Installation Guide

Closing Up

Use tie-wraps or screws to properly secure the starter module and keep the wiring away from any moving parts

such as the parking brakes or steering column shafts. Mount all switches in good and accessible locations

where they do not risk getting kicked or hit accidentally.

Most comebacks are the result of misunderstandings about how a product works or performs. Take the time to

properly explain all functions and features to the customers before they leave the premises. Doing this will save

time and money.

Always make all your connections before plugging in the module, and be sure to test all functions properly

before closing up the installation.

Testing

Before putting the vehicle back together, it is recommended to check that the system operates properly. The

following testing procedures should be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. Before

testing, make sure that all connections are soldered and that the unit is plugged in.

 If installed on a MANUAL transmission, make sure the system properly enters and exits

ready mode (see earlier in this Guide).

 Remote-start the engine and listen for starter drag. If the starter cranks for too long, carry out

another tach programming procedure.

 Hood switch shutdown. With the vehicle running under the remote car starter, open the hood; the

vehicle should shut down. If it does not shut down, check the hood pin-switch and its connector.

 Brakes shutdown circuit. With the vehicle running under the remote car start, press and release

the brake pedal. The engine should shut down immediately. If the engine continues to run, check

the brakes switch connection.

 Alarm: Make sure the module is able to arm and disarm.

Troubleshooting Poor Transmitting Range

1. In order to ensure optimal range, the antenna should be installed at least 7.5 cm (3 in.) from the

roof – 2.5 cm (one inch) below the tint strip is generally the best location. Install the antenna as far

as possible from radio antennas, GPS, Onstar® or factory compasses.

2. Many factors may affect the operating range of the transmitter. Some of these are:

3. The condition of the battery in the transmitter.

4. The operating environment (for example: downtown radio-frequency noise, airports, cellular phone

towers…)

5. Metal: any type of metal will affect operating range. This includes the metal in the car.

6. The shape of the vehicle can affect range as well; vans in general have an especially poor range.

7. The shape of the roof and A-pillars brings about considerable radio-frequency deflection (in this

case the signal from the remote control). As a result, the direction in which the vehicle is facing in

relation to the remote control can affect the range. Straight on – standing in front of the vehicle –

generally gives you the greatest range; the second best performance is from the back. Using the

remote control from either side of the vehicle will usually give the lowest range.

8. The range will be significantly lower in a crowded parking lot than in open space.

9. Always hold the transmitter high, approximately at shoulder height. Holding the transmitter against

your chin will also increase your range: your head acts as an antenna.

10. The operating range will be somewhat lower on vehicles equipped with an aftermarket or factory

alarm.

11. Windows and windshields tinted with lead or metallic tints will decrease the operating range.

12. The antenna cable may have been cut and/or is grounded out on the chassis. Try using another

cable.

13. The receiver may be faulty. Try replacing it with another.
