Green: (-) LOCK OUTPUT This (-) 500mA output connects to the (-) lock wire in the vehicle or to a relay for vehicle specific applications. This wire will output a pulse when arming the system. It can be programmed to lock the vehicle when the ignition is turned ON, for a double pulse output and for the output duration. Additionally this output may be used for Comfort Closure for vehicles which can close the windows (and in some cases the sunroof) while holding the key to the lock position in the door key cylinder (see Ign-controlled Locks, Door Lock Pulses, Door Lock Duration or Comfort Closure in Feature Menus for more detail). Note: The doors of the vehicle must be closed when turning the ignition ON for the Ignition-controlled Door Lock feature to work.
Adjusting the Doubleguard Shock Sensor Important! Make sure the vehicle is disarmed. The Doubleguard Shock Sensor sensitivity can be adjusted by using a trimmer tool to turn the potentiometer.
Adjusting the sensor: 1. Make sure the ignition is OFF and the system is disarmed. 2. With the sensor mounted in its permanent location, locate the adjustment trimpot on the shock sensor module and using a trimmer tool: • Turn the potentiometer clockwise for increased sensitivity or • Turn it counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity Note: You can test the new setting by cautiously impacting the vehicle with increasing intensity while noting the LED status on the shock sensor. The LED turns ON for a short duration for small impacts before turning OFF (indicating a Warn Away trigger). The impact level required to fully trigger the alarm is indicated when the LED remains ON for a longer duration before turning OFF. Note: This adjustment cannot be performed using the remote control.
Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed w/hardwire and data tach inputs) To program Virtual Tach: 1. After the install is complete, remote start the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of the starter before the engine starts and runs. Do not turn OFF the remote start if this happens, it is a normal programming operation. 2. Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds. 3. Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start OFF. Virtual Tach is programmed. (to reset Virtual Tach, see the Reset and Deletion section of this guide). Virtual Tach cannot be reset with the Bitwriter. Note: Virtual Tach cannot be used in MTS (Manual Transmission Mode). It is also not recommended for diesel vehicles. Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the customer wants to have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected. Important: After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters may over or under crank during remote start. The Bitwriter can be used fine tune the starter output time in 50 millisecond increments to compensate for such an occurrence.

Learning Hardwired or Data Tach (not needed with Virtual Tach) To learn the tach signal: 1. Start the vehicle with the key. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Control Center button. 2. After 3 seconds the status LED on the Control Center lights solid when the tach signal is learned. 3. Release the Control Center button. Note: When the tachometer is programmed, the main unit automatically enters the Tachometer Engine Checking Mode.
Remote Start Shutdown/Startup Diagnostics Shutdown diagnostics: If the remote start activates but fails to stay running, the remote start module has the ability to inform you of what may have caused the remote start failure. Before performing shutdown diagnostics it is important that you let the remote start shut OFF on its own i.e., let it attempt to start 3 times then shut down, if this is not done the unit will report the shutdown last used to shut OFF the remote start. Note: Shutdown diagnostics does not report if the vehicles factory immobilizer is causing the problem. To perform shutdown diagnostics: 1. With the ignition OFF, press and hold the Control Center button. 2. Turn the ignition ON and then back OFF while holding the Control Center button. 3. Release the Control Center button. 4. Press and release the Control Center button. The status LED flashes to report the last shutdown for one minute or until the ignition is turned ON, as shown in the following table: Status LED Flashes

Note: See Owner’s Guide of your specific model for exact functionality. The above table reflects the LCD model but is also applicable to the LED and Companion remote controls (however, some button functions may differ). This table does not apply to the HD model. Important: If the Control Center has been replaced, all remote controls must be re-paired with the system. See Remote Pairing for details.
Reset and Deletion If a feature/Virtual Tach needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following procedure. 1. Open a door. (The 24-pin harness Green wire or the Violet wire must be connected.) 2. Turn the ignition to the ON position (The heavy gauge Pink wire must be connected). 3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control Center button 2 times if you want to delete remote controls, 3 times to reset features or 4 times to reset Virtual Tach.. These function steps are described next. Step 2: Delete remotes: This feature erases all remote controls from the memory of the security system. This is useful in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen. Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the security system or reset the Virtual Tach setting. Step 3: Reset Features: This resets features all of the security system to the factory default settings. Note: This feature does not delete the remote controls from the security system or reset the Virtual Tach setting Step 4: Virtual Tach Reset: Deletes all previously learned values for Virtual Tach, and on the next remote start sequence the unit begins Virtual Tach initialization. Note: The “Zap” feature on the Bitwriter does not reset the Virtual Tach setting. 4. Once you have selected the function step, press the Control Center button once more and hold it. The LED flashes and the siren chirps to confirm the selected functional step. Do not release the Control Center button.

5. While holding the Control Center button, press the button on a programmed remote control. The unit chirps to confirm that the remote controls have successfully been deleted or the features have been reset. 6. Once the feature is reset, the Control Center button can be released.
Long Term Event History The system stores the last two full alarm triggers in memory. These are not erasable. Each time the unit sees a full trigger, the older of the two triggers in memory is replaced by the new trigger. To access long term event history: 1. With the ignition OFF, press and hold the Control Center button. 2. Turn the ignition ON. 3. Release the Control Center button. 4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Control Center button. The status LED flashes in groups indicating the last two zones that triggered the unit for 1 minute or until the ignition is turned OFF. Refer to the Table of Zones for trigger information. Note: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and is not reported.

Troubleshooting: Alarm Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm: 1. Was the shock sensor adjusted before it was mounted? If so re-adjust the sensor. 2. Has the NPC system been triggered? If so, you hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the ignition key ON and OFF to clear the NPC memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description of NPC, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of the owners guide. Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the first 3 seconds: • That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system even if the door is instantly closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren continues. Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not: • Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong door input has been used. System does not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed: 1. Is passive arming programmed ON? 2. Are the door inputs connected? Is the 24-pin harness Blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either the 24-pin harness Green or Violet wire should be used instead.

Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm: • Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (see Table of Zones section of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem. Door locks operate backwards. • This unit has easily-reversed lock/unlock outputs. Recheck wire connections to see if you have reversed these.
Troubleshooting: Remote Start The remote start will not activate the remote start 1. Check remote startup diagnostics. 2. Is the remote start shut OFF switch plugged in and turned ON? 3. If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, make sure the remote start is programmed for Automatic Transmission mode. 4. Is the remote programmed to the system? 5. Can the remote start be activated manually by applying a ground pulse to the 24-pin harness White/Blue activation input? 6. Check the harnesses and their connections. Make sure that the harnesses are completely plugged into the remote start module. Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring. 7. Check voltage and fuses on the main harness and on the heavy gauge remote start harness. The remote start will activate, but the starter never engages. 1. Check for voltage on the Violet starter wire two seconds after the remote start becomes active. If there is voltage present, skip to Step 8. If there is not voltage present, advance to Step 2. 2. Check the 30A fuses. 3. If the Gray/Black wait-to-start wire is detecting ground upon activation, the starter will not crank. 4. Is the tach wire connected? If so disconnect it and remote start the vehicle to see if the Violet wire sends out voltage. If you get voltage you will need to go to an alternate tach source, the tach wire you are currently on has a voltage spike upon ignition power up which can cause the remote start to not send out the crank voltage. 5. Is the vehicle a Chrysler or GM with a multiplexed starter wire? The vehicle will not crank if the resistance is incorrect on the multiplexed accessory/starter wire. 6. Is the vehicle a GM? If so the Brown accessory needs to be powered up on some of the vehicles for the vehicle to crank. 7. If this is a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch will need to be bypassed (see Tech Tip #10000 at www.directechs.com) 8. Make sure the Violet starter wire is connected on the starter side of the optional starter disable/antigrind relay. 9. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active. 10. Check connections. The heavy gauge remote start input wires on the heavy gauge 10-pin connector should have a solid connection. The vehicle starts, but immediately dies. 1. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer can cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting attempts. 2. Is the remote start programmed for Virtual Tach or voltage sense? If so, the crank time may not be set long enough. Voltage sense will not work on some vehicles. 3. Is the remote start in tach mode? If so has the tach been programmed to the system? 4. Check diagnostics. Sometimes a shutdown will become active during cranking or just after cranking.

The vehicle starts, but the starter keeps running. 1. Is the system programmed for Engine Checking OFF, Virtual Tach voltage sense? When programmed for either of these features, the engine cranks for the pre-programmed crank time regardless of how long it takes for the vehicle to actually start. Adjust to a lower cranking time. 2. Was the Tach Learn successful? The LED must light solid and bright to indicate a successful learn. 3. Make sure that there is a tach signal at the Violet/White tach input wire of the remote start. If there is not a tach signal, recheck the connection to the vehicle’s tach wire and make sure the wire is not broken or shorted to ground leading to the remote start. 4. Is an ignition or accessory output wire connected to the starter wire of the vehicle? Verify the color of the starter wire in the vehicle and confirm that the remote starters ignition or an accessory output is not connected to that wire. The vehicle starts, but will only run for 10 seconds 1. Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? If this does not work, a tach wire should be used. 2. Check shutdown diagnostics. The climate control system does not work while the unit is operating the vehicle. 1. Either the wrong accessory wire is being energized or more than one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to operate the climate control system. 2. If the vehicle has an electronic climate control system some will reset when the key is turned OFF and then back on, unfortunately this is a function of the vehicle and cannot be bypassed. MTS (Manual Transmission Start) diagnostics: When enabling MTS, if you get a failure notification from the remote or the vehicle fails to remain started check for following: • Tachometer not connected or programmed. • E-brake not connected to the remote start unit. The 24-pin harness Black/White parking brake input wire must have a ground when the parking brake is set. • Foot must be OFF the brake when activating the MTS mode on the remote. • Is the door open when enabling the MTS mode? If so this would cause the unit to enter Pit Stop Mode and the remote start will continue to run when arming/locking the system. • Is the door input connected? The system needs to see a door open then close after initiating the remote start. • Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light? If you are connected to the dome light wire and the dome light is staying ON after arming/locking the system, the system can exit the MTS mode. • Make sure the remote start shutOFF switch is plugged in and turned ON. MTS mode exiting diagnostics: If the remote start has entered the MTS mode but exits the mode after the system is armed/locked. Check these for possible causes. • The vehicle door has been opened or the security system has been triggered in your absence. • Does the vehicle have a delayed dome light circuit or does the dome light come ON when the ignition is shut OFF? If so you may need to go to the independent door inputs of the vehicle. • If you are connected to the dome light wire in the vehicle and cannot connect the system to the individual door inputs of the vehicle due to it having normally closed door inputs, you can use Tech Tip # 1921 at www.directechs.com to interface with these types of circuits. • The E-brake wire connected to the parking brake input of the system loses ground when ignition is turned OFF or after a certain amount of time, with these vehicles unfortunately there is no workaround. • The E-brake wire connected to the parking brake input of the system has a poor ground. Clean the contacts on the switch or replace the switch.
