The APS-55 Remote Start/Keyless Entry System is designed for use with Automatic T ransmission V ehicles Only! The unit provides wait to start input for glow plug pre-heat which will be used for all diesel applications. If this wire is not connected, then the unit will remain in the Gasoline mode setting, which will crank the car when the RF signal [...]

3 THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBL Y : The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this unit allows routing from below the dashboard for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a m[...]

NOTE: This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay , (when used) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram. Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neu[...]

VIOLET WIRE: Accessory Output Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the "ACCESSORY" or "ON" and "RUN" positions and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ST AR T" or "CRANK"[...]

BROWN w/ BLACK Tracer Wire: Positive Inhibit Input 2 Any time + 12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Black tracer wire, the Remote Starter will stop operating, even if the signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches + 12 Volts to the brake light circuit, connect the Brown w/ Black trace wire to the outp[...]

LIGHT BLUE Wire: Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start Unit initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start Unit turns off. In all of the applications described below , a relay will be required. The Light Bl[...]

General Motors V A TS By-Pass Diagram DARK GREEN Wire: T ach Sensor Input This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start module. This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. [...]

3 Wire Ground Switched Door Lock/Unlock Wiring Detail 3 Wire Positive Switched Door Locks: In this application, the Red wire of the two pin harness provides a + 12 volt pulse during the disarming sequence, or pulsed 12 volt unlock output. Connect the Red wire to the low current 12 volt signal wire from the factory door unlock switch to the factory [...]

10 this wire is not used. Be sure to fuse the wire with a 1 Amp Fuse when connecting to a high current circuit such as a factory glow plug wire. The fuse should be installed as close to the high current wire as possible. 3 Pin Antenna/Receiver Connector: (White Connector) Plug the previously routed three pin connector from the antenna receiver asse[...]

11 3. Diagnostics: 1. Be sure that programmable feature number #6 is set to the "Diagnostics On" mode. 2. First flip the program switch on, then turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. 3. The lights will flash and the number of flashes will indicate the reason for shutdown on the last remote start attempt. The indications ar[...]

W ARNING!! DO NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE OPERA TION OF THE HOOD PIN SAFETY SHUT DOWN FEA TURE. MANUAL SHUT DOWN / ENABLE CIRCUIT : The intent of the manual shut down / enable circuit is to allow the vehicle operator to prevent operation of the Remote Start Unit regardless of the RF transmitter operation. T o test[...]

13 from the ignition cylinder . This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation. Because of this potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from the remote start device to the vehicle Park/Neutral ECM Input or the vehicle[...]

14 Method 2 will allow the safety required for the remote start unit and prevent the vehicle from starting while in any gear other than Park or Neutral while the key is in the ignition cylinder . However , the original factory key in chime module will not alert the owner that the key has been left in the ignition switch. In addition, this may also [...]

15 NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non Striped) side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode (Striped) side must be connected to the hood pin switc[...]
