Proper Wire Splicing Techniques

Remote Start

GENERAL PROCEDURES

Proper Splicing Techniques
NOTE: Follow this procedure when a wire can be spliced without cutting the wire in half.
1. Strip approximately two inches of insulation from the wire to be installed in the vehicle.
4. Insert the new wire between the parted strands. If more than one wire is being spliced, wrap them in opposite directions.

2. On the vehicle wire to be spliced into, strip one inch of insulation form the wire.
NOTE: Use Rosin Core Mildly-Activated (RMA) Solder. Do not use Acid Core Solder. 5. Wrap the new wire around one side of the split
stands, then wrap it around the other side. · Solder the connection.
3. On the vehicle wire to be spliced into, separate the strands to allow the new wire to be placed between the parted strands of wire.

GENERAL PROCEDURES (Continued)

6. Wrap the connection with electrical tape so the tape covers the wires approximately two inches on either side of the connection.
· Tape the wires together as shown in the illustration.

Splicing End to End Connections
NOTE: When both ends of the wire are cut, use the end to end wire splicing procedure.
NOTE: Follow the steps below for end to end wire splicing.
1. To make an end to end connection, start by stripping one inch of insulation from each of the wires. Part each wire into equal strands as shown in the illustration.

NOTE: Use Rosin Core Mildly-Activated (RMA) Solder. Do not use Acid Core Solder.
3. Lay the upper strand of wire to one side, then lay the lower strand of wire to the other side as shown in the illustration. · Solder the wires together.

4. Wrap the connection with electrical tape so the tape covers the wires approximately two inches on either side of the connection.

2. Place the wires next to each other and twist the upper and lower strands together as shown.

13. On vehicles equipped with power window interrupt, Attempt to close windows to check power window interrupt function.

NOTE: If during any of the steps of the functional test, the remote start system or vehicle doesn't react or perform accordingly, please refer to the remote start troubleshooting guide.
NOTE: For remote start troubleshooting guide click here.
1. Make sure all doors are closed but hood is open and windows are down (doors will be locking).
2. Press and hold the Start button on the remote control key fob for 2-3 seconds - Horn should honk once indicating receipt of the start request.
3. The remote start systems should turn on the ignition, but then honk the horn twice and shut down indicating the hood is open.
4. Close the hood, and insert a key into the ignition switch.
5. Attempt to re-start the vehicle again using the key fob.
6. The remote start systems should turn on the ignition, but then honk the horn five times and shut down indicating a key is in the ignition switch.
7. Remove the key and open a door.
8. Attempt to re-start the vehicle again using the key fob.
9. The remote start systems should turn on the ignition, but then honk the horn three times and shut down indicating a door is open.

14. Once all systems have been checked, press the brake pedal - the remote start systems should shut down.
Troubleshooting

15. NOTE: When attempting to remote start your vehicle, the system has several safety checks that it performs. If any of these inputs are present that should not be, the system will respond back to you with several horn ``chirps'' to help you identify which input is present. These ``chirps'' will occur after initiating a start sequence with the transmitter, the system will turn on the ignition, but then respond back with several horn ``chirps'' and abort the starting process.
Example: Depress the remote start fob button for 3 seconds and then release. The vehicle horn will ``chirp'' one time to indicate that RMST signal was received. If the vehicle doesn't start and the horn ``chirps'' 3 times, there is a fault - ``Vehicle Door is Open''

CHIRPS 1 Chirp

Antenna Mounting

NOTE: For good range of operation, the antenna must be installed correctly.
NOTE: Keep these points in mind when selecting a location and mounting the antenna.
· Do not mount the antenna behind or on any metal film or window tinting on the windshield.
· Do not mount the antenna so that one of the antenna elements touches or crosses any vehicle wiring and/or metal.
· On vehicles without metal film in the windshield around the rear view mirror, mount the antenna between the headliner and the rear view mirror.
· On vehicles equipped with an electronic mirror, or on vehicles with metal film around the rearview mirror, mount the antenna approximately 3 inches below the mirror attachment point to the windshield and/or mirror electronics.
13. Choose a suitable mounting location following the guidelines above.
Install The Antenna
14. Clean the mounting surface using an alcohol base solution and a clean cloth.
15. NOTE: Do not touch the adhesive, reduced adhesion may result. NOTE: Make sure that the long wire on the antenna is pointing towards the top of the windshield since this wire will be routed along the headliner. NOTE: The wire will be attached to the control module later in this procedure. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive on the antenna and firmly press the body of the antenna to the windshield.

16. If necessary, position the A pillar trim slightly outward to provide access to route the antenna wire.
NOTE: Do not route the antenna wire over the top of the air bag.
17. Route the antenna cable along the headliner and down the A pillar towards the floor.

Antenna Mounting

NOTE: For good range of operation, the antenna must be installed correctly.

NOTE: Keep these points in mind when selecting a location and mounting the antenna.
· Do not mount the antenna behind or on any metal film or window tinting on the windshield.
· Do not mount the antenna so that one of the antenna elements touches or crosses any vehicle wiring and/or metal.
· On vehicles without metal film in the windshield around the rear view mirror, mount the antenna between the headliner and the rear view mirror.
· On vehicles equipped with an electronic mirror, or on vehicles with metal film around the rearview mirror, mount the antenna approximately 3 inches below the mirror attachment point to the windshield and/or mirror electronics.
