Detailed Descriptions
Wire Harness Colors and Functions
Refer to page 12 for the full system diagram.
Main Harness
- RED – 12-Volt Input (+)
Connects to the vehicle's primary 12-Volt (+) wire to power the system.
Verification: The power wire registers 12-Volt (+) at all times.
Note: Before making this connection, remove all module fuses until the system is completely connected.
- YELLOW - Ignition Input (+)
Connects to the vehicle's primary ignition wire. Used for system programming and override.
Verification: This ignition wire registers 12-Volt (+) when the key is in the accessory, ignition, and start positions.
Note: Before making this connection, remove all module fuses until the system is completely connected.
- BLACK – Ground Input (-)
Connects to a reliable vehicle ground (-) source to power the system.
Verification: The vehicle ground (-) source wire registers ground (-) at all times.
Note: Before making this connection, remove all module fuses until the system is completely connected.
- WHITE/RED – Parking Light Relay Input (Internal Relay 30A Pin 87)
Connects to vehicle 12-Volt (+) or Ground (-) to supply the relay output (WHITE wire).
Verification for default setting:
- If the vehicle parking light wire registers 12-Volt (+) when the park lights are on, connect the WHITE/RED wire to a constant 12-Volt (+) vehicle wire.
- If the vehicle parking light wire registers Ground (-) when the park lights are on, connect the WHITE/RED wire to a reliable vehicle ground source.
- WHITE - Parking Light Relay Output (Internal 30A Relay Pin 30)
Supplies 12-Volt (+) or Ground (-) to the vehicle's park light wire based on the connection of the relay input (WHITE/RED wire).
Verification: The vehicle parking light wire registers 12-Volt (+) or Ground (-) when the park lights are turned on.
- BLACK/YELLOW – Starter Kill Input / Output (Internal Relay 30A Pin 87A)
Used to interrupt the vehicle's starter wire when the alarm system is triggered. Locate and cut the vehicle's starter wire. Attach the BLACK/YELLOW wires to each end of the vehicle's cut starter wire.
Verification: The vehicle's starter wire registers 12-Volt (+) or Ground (-) during engine crank.
- BLACK/YELLOW – Starter Kill Input / Output (Internal Relay 30A Pin 30)
Used to interrupt the vehicle's starter wire when the alarm system is triggered. Locate and cut the vehicle's starter wire. Attach the BLACK/YELLOW wires to each end of the vehicle's cut starter wire.
Verification: The vehicle's starter wire registers 12-Volt (+) or Ground (-) during engine crank.
- PURPLE/WHITE – Loop Trigger Output (-)
Used as a Loop Alarm Trigger. If the loop is closed (Connected) when the alarm is armed, the alarm will trigger if the loop is opened (Disconnected). If the loop is open when the alarm is armed, the Loop Trigger will be ignored. Can be used to protect the user's helmet or other personal belongings.
- PURPLE/WHITE – Loop Trigger Input (-)
Used as a Loop Alarm Trigger. If the loop is closed (Connected) when the alarm is armed, the alarm will trigger if the loop is opened (Disconnected). If the loop is open when the alarm is armed, the Loop Trigger will be ignored. Can be used to protect the user's helmet or other personal belongings.
- LIGHT GREEN – Additional Sensor Input (-)
Connects a device or switch that, when triggered, supplies a Ground (-) output. If the system is armed, this input will trigger the alarm.
- DARK BLUE – AUX CH 3 Output

Alarm Override Procedures
Default Alarm Override
The Default Alarm Override procedure will disable the alarm when the remote control is not available or has become inoperative. If the vehicle door is opened without disarming, the alarm will sound and the vehicle will not start when attempting to start with the key. To disable the alarm:
- Turn the vehicle ignition to the ON position 5x, ending in ON.
- The LED will illuminate solid.
- Cycle the ignition OFF/ON 1x.
The alarm will silence and the vehicle will now start normally with the key.
Custom Code Override
Unlike the Default Override, Custom Code Override is a user personalized code that offers a higher lever of security. If the user chooses to use Custom Code Override, Feature Bank 2 ; Feature 9 must be programmed for "Custom Code".
Custom Code Override Procedure
The default Custom Code is "1". To disarm the alarm using the Custom Code option:
- Cycle the ignition to the ON position 5x, ending in ON.
- Within 5sec, the LED will Illuminate Solid.
- Within 5sec, Turn the ignition OFF.
- The LED will begin to flash.
- Cycle the ignition ON when the LED flashes the number of times equal to your Custom Code.
Custom Code Programming Procedure
The custom code can be selected from the numbers 1-9. In this example the user chosen Custom Code will be "2". To enter a new Custom Code you must first confirm the current code.
Step 1: Confirm the current Custom Code.
- With the alarm disarmed, Cycle the ignition to the ON position 8x, ending in ON.
- Within 5sec, the LED will Illuminate Solid.
- Within 5sec, Turn the ignition OFF.
- The LED will begin to flash.
- Cycle the ignition ON when the LED flashes the number of times equal to your Custom Code.
Step 2: Set new Custom Code
- Cycle the ignition to the OFF position. The LED will begin to flash.
- Cycle the Ignition ON when the LED flashes the number of times equal to the new Custom Code.
The LED will flash to confirm the new Custom Code. Make a note of the new Custom Code. The Custom Code can only be changed by first entering the current Custom Code.
Anti Hi-Jacking
Anti Hi-Jacking is a feature that will activate the alarm and disable the engine starter if the vehicle is stolen. This feature must be activated in the Feature Bank 2, Feature 2. Once activated in Feature Bank 2, this feature must also be activated by the user.
User Activation
With the ignition ON, press and hold the DISARM button of the remote control for 2 seconds. The LED will begin to flash and the system will beep 1x every three (3) seconds. After 15 seconds the system will begin to beep 1x every 1.5 seconds. After 15 seconds the system will enter Anti Hi-Jacking Mode.
Note: If this feature is activated by mistake, press and hold the DISARM button during the first 15 seconds after activation.
After the system has entered Anti Hi-Jacking mode, the system will flash the parking lights and beep 1x every second. If the vehicle's engine is turned OFF, the system will silence, but remain in Anti Hi-Jacking mode. If the ignition is turned back on, the system will begin to beep and flash the parking lights. The starter disable feature is also activated and the vehicle's engine cannot be started without a manual alarm override.
Deactivation
After the Anti Hi-Jacking Mode is activated the user must perform the Manual Override procedure. Please refer to Page 8 for the correct override procedure.
