Wiring Descriptions
Connector 1 (CN1): 8-Pin High current power harness included (NOTE: Please see FT-LC1 for a low
current version of CN1)
Pin 1 Red - Constant 12V positive (+) power input (25A MAX): (This input provides power to the CM
processor, Ignition 1, and accessory ports) This wire MUST be connected. The proper vehicle wire will
test (+) 12V at all times, even when the key is in the off position, on position, and during crank.
Pin 2 Green/White – High Current (HC) Programmable Output (10A MAX): This positive (+) parking light
(default setting) wire activates with lock, unlock, remote start, or during troubleshooting diagnostics.
Note: This output is programmable and can provide several (+) outputs based on HCP1 setting.
Pin 3 Red/White - Constant 12V positive (+) power input (25A MAX): This wire must be connected (This
input provides power for the accessory, starter, and parking light output). The proper vehicle wire will
test (+) 12V at all times - while the key is in the off position, the on position and during crank.
Pin 4 White – High Current (HC) Programmable Output (20A MAX): Accessory 12V positive (+) output
(default setting). This wire can be connected to the vehicle accessory / HVAC blower motor wire. The
proper wire will test 0V with the key in the off position, (+) 12V while key is in the on position, 0V while
cranking and back to (+) 12V-14V when the key is returned to the on position. Note: This output is
programmable and can provide several (+) outputs based on HCP2 setting.
Pin 5 Blue – High Current (HC) Programmable Output (20A MAX): Positive 12V (+) 2nd ignition (default
setting) This wire can be connected to the vehicle 2
nd
Ignition wire. The proper wire will test 0V with the
key in the off position, (+) 12V while key is in the on position, (+)9V-12V while cranking and back to
(+) 12V-14V when the key is returned to the on position. Note: This output is programmable and can
provide several (+) outputs based on HCP3 setting.
Pin 6 Yellow - Starter 12V positive (+) output (20A MAX): This wire must be connected for remote start.
The proper wire will test 0V with the key in the off position, 0V while the key is in the on position and
(+) 9V-12V during crank. Note: You can use the FT-ELOCK for starter kill and anti-grind features.
It can be used to configure the starter interrupt in various ways. We provide a GWA (Ground
When Armed) output for standard starter interrupt (Blue/White Pin 1 Grey 20 pin accessory
harness)
Pin 7 Green - Positive 12V (+) Ignition (Input/Output) (20A MAX): This connection is required for every
remote start install and should be connected to the vehicle Ignition wire. The proper wire will test 0V
with the key in the off position, (+) 12V while key is in the on position, (+)9V-12V while cranking and
back to (+) 12V-14V when the key is returned to the on position.
Pin 8 Black - Ground negative (-) input: This wire MUST be connected to the vehicle’s chassis ground.
Make sure no paint or rust is on the mounting surface. We recommend connecting this wire first. IF
you are having trouble locating a good ground source you can use PIN # 4 at the Standard OBD II
connection
