TACH MODE & TACH FINDER FEATURE

Tach Reference Mode provides reliable remote starting performance though engine speed sensing. When using Tach Reference Mode, the WHITE/RED wire is used for Tach signal [Engine RPM] input. Most modern engines include various points where the Engine Speed [Tach] or A/C signal may be obtained. Tach Signal examples: Negative (-) side of ignition coil, at the Distributor or Ignition Control Module, Coil Pack, Engine Computer, or Crankshaft Sensor. Sometimes Fuel injection solenoids and Alternator stator pins can be used. These Tach Signal locations mentioned are provided as a guide, your vehicle may differ. Some locations will NOT be a good location for Tach source due to RF noise or Computer Data. Use the TACH FINDER feature if needed.

TACH FINDER FEATURE:

The Tach Finder mode can assist you in locating or verifying a Tach source for your installation. Follow the Tach Finder steps below to locate signal. The unit will begin to flash the parking lights if you have the White/Red wire connected to a valid tach source. If lights do not flash, then try another wire until you locate a tach signal that will cause the Parking lights to flash. NOTE: On vehicles equipped with daytime running lights, it may be difficult to see any flashing parking lights. In this case your only notification will be the slight “ticking” sound coming out of the module from the on-board flashing light relay.

TACH FINDER:

1.Open hood (Ground the Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed)

2.Start Engine with the key. (Pink ignition wire must be connected)

3.Press the Program button for 2 seconds

4.Lights will begin flashing if the White/Red wire is connected to a valid tach

5.Once Tach is located then turn off engine and close hood to abort.

6.See Tach Reference programming below.

TACH PROGRAMMING:

1.Open hood (Ground Blue hood pin wire if no hood pin is installed).

2.Connect WHITE/RED wire to a valid Tach source.

3.Start engine with the key (Pink ignition wire must be connected).

4.Press program button 5 times, then wait for 5 light flashes.

5.Wait at least one second then push program button again (1) time, you should get a light flash with the button press. This unit is now at option #1 for Tach Learning.

6.Press the #1 Lock Button on remote transmitter to program Tach. NOTE: Pressing the Brake Pedal also programs Tach. One Light Flash = Tach Mode. Two Light Flashes = Tachless Mode.

7.If lights do not flash for confirmation, then try another tach source or try the tach finder feature above.
