primary harness (H1) wire connection guide

H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output

This wire supplies (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed. This wire can be used to turn on an optional sensor or to ready an optional accessory, such as a pager module.

H1/2 WHITE (+) light flash output

This wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire, as described in the Finding the Wires You Need section of this manual. This output is protected with a 10 amp fuse. Never increase the value of the light flash fuse. If more current is required, use an external relay.

NOTE: When connecting this wire to a (-) parking light wire, a relay is required. See the following diagram for the relay application.

H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (-) channel 3 output

This wire provides a (-) 200 mA output whenever the transmitter code controlling Channel 3 is received. This output will continue as long as that transmission is received. Use for options such as 551T Valet® Start system,

529T or 530T power window controllers, etc.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything except a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only provide 200 mA of current, and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

H1/4 BLACK/WHITE (-) domelight supervision relay output

Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay as shown below:

IMPORTANT!

This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs.

H1/6 BLUE (-) 200mA second unlock output

This output is used for progressive door unlock. A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's door when the unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm) button is pressed again within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door. The BLUE wire outputs a low current (-) pulse on the second press of the unlock button of the transmitter. This negative unlock output is used to unlock the passenger doors.

Driver’s Door Unlock Only (Type A)

Driver’s Door Unlock Only (Type B)

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

Connect the H1/8 BLACK wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw (screws tend to either strip or loosen with time). We recommend grounding all your components to the same point in the vehicle.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input

Connect this wire to an ignition source. This input must show (+)12V with the key in run position and during cranking. Make sure that this wire cannot be shorted to the chassis at any point. This wire will trigger the system if the ignition is turned on before the unit is disarmed (doors unlocked with the remote). It will also honk the vehicle’s horn and flash the parking lights (if connected).

NOTE: Feature 4 (Security Features) must be turned on in order for this wire to trigger the system.

See Features Menu section of this guide.

H1/10 BROWN (-) horn honk output

This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle horn. It outputs a single pulse to confirm that the doors are locked if the lock button on the remote is pressed more than once. It also outputs two pulses to confirm that the doors are unlocked if the unlock button on the remote is pressed more than two times. This wire also outputs pulses for 30 seconds whenever the Panic Mode is activated. If the vehicle has a

(+) horn circuit, an outboard relay can be used to interface with the system, as shown in the following diagram.

H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input

Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the positive battery terminal or the constant

12V supply to the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V power. Do not use the

15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

H1/12 RED/WHITE channel 2, (-) 200mA output

When the system receives the transmitter code controlling Channel 2 for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven functions.

IMPORTANT!

Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transistorized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause it to fail.

plug-in LED and valet/program switch

The LED and the Valet/Program switch both plug into the control module. The status LED plugs into the white two-pin port, while the Valet ® /Program switch should be plugged into the blue two-pin port. The status LED and

Valet ® /Program switch each fit into 9 /

-inch holes.

Status LED Valet ® /Program Switch

relay harness (H2) wire connection guide

The system has door lock relays on-board, and can directly interface with most electric power door lock systems drawing 30 amps or less. It can also drive aftermarket actuators directly. (Some vehicles require that an aftermarket actuator be added to the driver’s door to allow system control, see Type D wiring section).

identifying the door lock system

The easiest way to determine which type of door lock system you are working with is to remove the master locking switch itself, which is usually on the driver’s door or on the center console. Once you have determined which type of factory door lock circuit you are working with, and the color codes of the switch wires to be used, you can usually simplify the installation by locating the same wires in the vehicle’s kick panel. If no central locking switch is found, the installation may require a door lock actuator.

NOTE: Always retest the wires in the kick panel to be sure they function the same way as the wires on the switch.

There are eight common types of door lock circuits (some vehicles use more unusual systems):

■ Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995 Saturn, some new VW, newer BMW.

■ Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and

Porsche.

■ Type C: Directly-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-doors cars and trucks, many Chryslers.

■ Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include slave systems without an actuator in the driver’s door, but with factory actuators in all the other doors. Type D also includes cars without power locks, which will have actuators added. All Saabs before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all Subaru, most Isuzu, and many Mazdas. Some mid-eighties Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi.

■ Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems. The vehicle must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make sure that locking the doors from the driver's or passenger side using the key activates all the actuators in the vehicle. This requires a slight modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer.

■ Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock. This system is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in older Mitsubishis, and some early

Mazda MPV’s.

■ Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles.

■ Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.

at the switch

■ Three-wire switches will have either a constant ground input or a constant (+)12V input, along with the pulsed lock and unlock outputs to the factory relays.

■ Many BMW’s and VW’s have no external switch. The switches are inside the actuator, and instead of pulsing, the proper wires will flip-flop from (+)12V to (-) ground as the door locks are operated.

■ Direct-wired switches will have a (+)12V constant input and one or two (-) ground inputs, along with two output leads going directly to the lock motors.

type A: positive-triggered, relay-driven system

type B: negative-triggered, relay-driven system

This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless-entry system (some other Fords also use Type B).

The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. This type of system is difficult to mistake for any other type.

testing reversing polarity systems

Use these instructions if the power door lock switch has four or five heavy-gauge wires. This type of switch has two outputs that rest at (-) ground.

IMPORTANT! To interface with these systems, you must cut two switch leads. The relays must duplicate the factory door lock switches’ operation. The master switch will have one or two ground inputs, one (+)12V input, and two switch outputs going directly to the slave switch and through to the motors. These outputs rest at (-) ground. The lock or unlock wire is switched to (+)12V, while the other wire is still grounded, thus completing the circuit and powering the motor. This will disconnect the switch from the motor before supplying the motor with (+)12V, avoiding sending

(+)12V directly to (-) ground.

It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage when the switch is moved to the lock or unlock position. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both switches. If one switch loses all operation in both directions then you have cut one of the correct wires and the switch that is entirely dead is the master switch. If both switches still operate in any way and one or more door motors have stopped responding entirely, you have cut a motor lead. Reconnect it and continue to test for another wire. Once both wires have been located and the master switch identified, cut both wires and interface as described in the following paragraphs.

WARNING!

If these wires are not connected properly, you will send (+)12V directly to (-) ground, possibly damaging the system or the factory switch.

■ H2/A WHITE/BLACK: Once both door lock wires are located and cut, connect the white/black wire to the master switch side of the lock wire. The master switch side will show (+)12V when the master switch is operated to the lock position and (-) ground when the master switch is in the middle position.

■ H2/B GREEN/BLACK: Connect the green/black wire to the other side of the lock wire. This is the motor side of the lock wire and it goes to the lock motor through the slave switch.

■ H2/C VIOLET/BLACK: This wire must be connected to a constant (+)12 volts. The best connection point for this wire is the constant (+)12V supply for the door lock switch*, or directly to the positive (+) battery post with a fuse at the battery post.

*NOTE: Except in GM cars with retained accessory power (RAP). In these vehicles, the (+)12V feed to the door lock switches is turned off if the doors are closed for any length of time.

NOTE: Most direct-wired power lock systems require 15 amps of current to operate. Connecting the violet/black wire to a poor source of voltage will keep the door locks from operating properly.

■ H2/D BROWN/BLACK: Connect the brown/black wire to the master switch side of the unlock wire. The master switch side will show (+)12V when the master switch is in the unlock position and (-) ground when the master switch is in the middle position.

■ H2/E BLUE/BLACK: Connect the blue/black wire to the other side of the unlock wire.

type C: reversing polarity system

type D: adding one or more after-market actuators

Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used.

type E: electrically-activated vacuum

This system is found in Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. The door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. The control wire will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when locked.

NOTE: The system must be programmed for 3.5-second door lock pulses, and the violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut.

type F: one-wire system (cut to lock, ground to unlock)

This type of door lock system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door.

(With some vehicles, these are reversed.) It is found in the late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, Nissan

300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in some Mazda MPV's.

NOTE: The violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut.

type G: positive (+) multiplex

This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.

SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direction and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.

TWO-RESISTOR TYPE: If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the switch/key cylinder will read less than (+)12V in both directions.

DETERMINING THE PROPER RESISTOR VALUES: To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.

IMPORTANT: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or leads during testing.

1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.

2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant

(+)12V source. Some good constant (+)12V references are the power input source to the door lock switch/key cylinder, the ignition switch power wire, or the (+) terminal of the battery.

3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values. If the multimeter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that direction.

4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring.

type H: negative (-) multiplex

The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.

SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse ground in one direction and resistance to ground when operated in the opposite direction.

TWO-RESISTOR TYPE: If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the door lock switch/key cylinder will read resistance to ground in both directions.

IMPORTANT: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or leads during testing.

1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.

2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable ground source. Some good ground references are the ground input source to the door lock switch/key cylinder or the battery ground.

4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring.

feature descriptions

1 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCKS ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off.

2 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses will accommodate door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses. See

Mercedes-Benz and Audi - 1985 and Newer (Type E Door Locks section) diagram.

3 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK OFF/ON: Some vehicles require two pulses on a single wire to unlock the doors. When the double pulse unlock feature is turned on, the H2/E BLUE/BLACK wire will supply two negative pulses instead of a single pulse. This makes it possible to directly interface with double pulse vehicles without any extra parts.

4 SECURITY FEATURES ON/OFF: In the ON setting, the unit will trigger an ignition panic sequence, and the starter kill and the H1/1 ORANGE ground-when-armed outputs will remain active when the ignition key is turned on. In the OFF setting, the starter kill feature, the ground-when-armed output and the ignition panic sequence will be disabled.

5 CODE HOPPING ™ ON/OFF: This system features Code Hopping ™ as an option. Code Hopping ™ is a feature that uses a mathematical formula to change the system’s code each time the transmitter and receiver communicate.

This makes the group of bits or "word" from the transmitter very long. The longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit. Disabling the Code Hopping ™ feature lets the receiver ignore the Code Hopping ™ part of the transmitted word. As a result, the unit may have better range with Code Hopping ™ off.
