Summary

Primary Harness (H1) Wire Connection Guide

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

Supplies a (-) 500 mA ground when the system is armed. Can control starter kill relay or DEI 8617.

H1/2 WHITE (+) light flash output

Connects to (+) parking light wire. Protected by a 10 amp fuse. Use external relay for more current.

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

Provides a (-) 200 mA output for transmitter-controlled Channel 3. Use for options like 551T Valet® Start system.

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

Connects to optional domelight supervision relay. Only intended to drive a relay, not directly to circuit.

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

Used for progressive door unlock. Outputs a low current (-) pulse on the second press of the unlock button for passenger doors.

H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection

Connects to bare metal for chassis ground. Use a factory bolt for reliable connection. Ground all components to the same point.

H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input

Connect to an ignition source showing (+)12V during run and cranking. Triggers system if ignition is on before disarming.

H1/10 BROWN (-) horn honk output

Provides (-) 200 mA output to honk the vehicle horn. Outputs pulses for confirmation and Panic Mode activation.

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

Connect to positive battery terminal or constant 12V supply. Must use a fuse within 12 inches of the connection point.

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

Outputs as long as Channel 2 transmission continues. Used for trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven functions.

Relay Harness (H2) Wire Connection Guide

Identifying the Door Lock System

Determine door lock system type by examining the master locking switch and its wires. Crucial for correct installation.

Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.

Common in GM, Ford, Chrysler, Saturn, VW, BMW. Uses a three-wire positive pulse system for lock relays.

Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.

Common in Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Saturn, Ford. Uses a three-wire negative pulse system for lock relays.

Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches.

Common in Ford, GM, Chrysler. Uses direct-wired switches with reversing polarity, no factory relays.

Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators.

For vehicles without factory power locks or with slave systems. Requires one actuator per door or for driver's door.

Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems.

Found in Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Locks controlled by electrically activated vacuum pump. Requires specific programming.

Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock.

Found in Nissan Sentras, 240SX, 300ZX, older Mitsubishis, Mazda MPVs. Requires cutting wire to lock, grounding to unlock.

Type G: Positive (+) multiplex.

Common in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler, GM. Door lock switch/key cylinder may contain one or two resistors for positive multiplexing.

Type H: Negative (-) multiplex.

Common in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler, GM. Door lock switch/key cylinder may contain one or two resistors for negative multiplexing.

Type A: Positive-Triggered, Relay-Driven System

Type B: Negative-Triggered, Relay-Driven System

Testing Reversing Polarity Systems

H2/A WHITE/BLACK

Connect to master switch side of lock wire. Shows (+)12V when master switch is in lock position, (-) ground in middle.

H2/B GREEN/BLACK

Connect to the other side of the lock wire. This is the motor side of the lock wire, going to the lock motor.

H2/C VIOLET/BLACK

Connect to a constant (+)12 volts, typically the supply for the door lock switch. Ensure adequate voltage.

H2/D BROWN/BLACK

Connect to master switch side of unlock wire. Shows (+)12V when master switch is in unlock position, (-) ground in middle.

H2/E BLUE/BLACK

Connect to the other side of the unlock wire. This wire connects to the unlock motor and completes the circuit.

Type C: Reversing Polarity System

Type D: Adding One or More After-market Actuators

Type E: Electrically-Activated Vacuum

Type F: One-Wire System (Cut to Lock, Ground to Unlock)

Type G: Positive (+) Multiplex

Single-Resistor Type

Wire pulses (+)12V in one direction, less than (+)12V in the opposite. Used with one resistor in the switch/cylinder.

Two-Resistor Type

Switch/key cylinder reads less than (+)12V in both directions. Used with two resistors in the switch/cylinder.

Determining the Proper Resistor Values

Isolate switch/key cylinder, cut wire, test with multimeter to determine resistor values. Essential for correct wiring.

Type H: (-) Negative Multiplex

Single-Resistor Type

Wire pulses ground in one direction, resistance to ground in the opposite. Used with one resistor in the switch/cylinder.

Two-Resistor Type

Switch/key cylinder reads resistance to ground in both directions. Used with two resistors in the switch/cylinder.

Determining the Proper Resistor Values

Isolate switch/key cylinder, cut wire, test with multimeter to determine resistor values. Essential for correct wiring.

Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine

To Advance from One Channel to Another

Learn routine allows advancing from one programmed channel to another by releasing and tapping the Valet/Program switch.

To Exit Learn Routine

Routine exits if ignition off, Valet/Program switch pressed too many times, or 15 seconds elapse between steps.

Transmitter Configuration

Operating Settings Learn Routine

Features Menu

To Access Another Feature

Advance between features by pressing and releasing the Valet/Program switch the required number of times.

To Exit the Learn Routine

Routine exits if ignition is turned on, Valet/Program switch pressed too many times, or 15 seconds elapse between steps.

Feature Descriptions

1 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCKS ON/OFF

Doors lock 3 seconds after ignition on, unlock when ignition off. Feature can be enabled or disabled.

2 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION

Adjustable pulse duration for European vehicles. Default is 0.8 seconds, can be set to 3.5 seconds.

3 DOUBLE PULSE UNLOCK OFF/ON

Enables two negative pulses for unlocking on certain vehicles. Simplifies direct interface with compatible systems.

4 SECURITY FEATURES ON/OFF

Activates ignition panic sequence and H1/1 ORANGE output when ignition is on. Can be disabled for simpler operation.

5 CODE HOPPING™ ON/OFF

Feature changes system code with each communication. Disabling may improve range by ignoring Code Hopping™ part of word.

Troubleshooting

The Valet Switch Does Not Work

Check Valet switch connection and H1/9 YELLOW wire connectivity. Ensure correct socket is used for the switch.

Status LED Does Not Work

Verify LED is plugged into the correct white port on the control unit. Refer to Plug-In LED and Valet/Program Switch section.

Door Locks Operate Backwards

Reverse lock/unlock outputs if connected incorrectly. Recheck Relay Harness (H2) connection guide for proper wiring.
