This document is the installation manual for the Prestige Model APSRS1Z Remote Start System, designed for automatic transmission, fuel injection vehicles. It provides comprehensive instructions for installing, wiring, programming, and troubleshooting the device.

Function Description

The Prestige APSRS1Z is a remote start system that allows users to remotely start their vehicle. It includes features for vehicle security, such as door lock/unlock control, and integrates with the vehicle's existing systems like the ignition, accessory, starter, and parking lights. The system also incorporates safety features, including a hood pin switch to prevent remote start activation when the hood is open, and diagnostic capabilities to identify issues.

Important Technical Specifications

Control Module (P/N 1365589):

Mounting location: Inside the passenger compartment, up behind the dashboard, within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness.
Not waterproof; must not be mounted in the engine compartment.

Receiver/Antenna Valet Switch LED Assembly (P/N 1181256):

Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna for maximum operating range.
Includes LED and Valet/Programming switch.
Mounting location: Above the belt line (dashboard) for best reception. Special consideration for metallic shielded window glass; may require routing antenna toward a rear window.
Connects via a 5-pin cable to the control module.

Hood Pin Switch (P/N 1363699):

Function: Supplies a ground to inhibit remote start when the hood/trunk is open. Required for safety shutdown.
Mounting: To a grounded metal surface, away from water drain paths. Must be depressed at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed.
Drilling: Requires a 1/4" hole for direct mounting, or a pre-threaded bracket hole.

Wiring Harnesses:

6 Pin Power Harness (P/N 1124317):

1 Blue Wire: Ignition 1 Output (+12V when key is ON/RUN/START, 0V when OFF/ACCESSORY).
2 Red/White Trace Wire: Battery 1 - 12V (+) Source (20A Max). Provides power for control circuit, Ignition 1 and Ignition 2 relays.
3 Green Wire: Ignition 2 Output (+12V when key is ON/RUN/START, 0V when OFF/ACCESSORY). Can be programmed to output during START mode (Bank 3 Selection #7).
4 Purple Wire: Accessory Output (+12V when key is ACCESSORY/ON/RUN, 0V when OFF/START/CRANK).
5 Red Wire: Battery 2 - 12V (+) Source (30A Max). Provides power for start and accessory relays.
6 Yellow Wire: Starter Output. Connects to low current start solenoid wire. Critical for safety to prevent in-gear starting; requires testing to ensure vehicle cannot start in any gear other than park or neutral.
Fuses must be used and located close to the power source for protection.

10 Pin Input/Output Harness (P/N 1124316):

1 Green/Orange Wire: Tachometer Input Signal. Monitors engine tach rate. Connects to vehicle ECM tach input or negative side of ignition coil.
2 Empty Cavity: NA (No Connection).
3 Black/Blue Wire: Pulsed Negative Output Before Start (1 second, 250mA). Activates 1 second before remote start and when transmitter unlocks system. Used to disarm factory theft deterrent systems.
4 Black/LT. Green Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Start (1 second, 250mA). Activates after vehicle starts. Used to re-lock doors if they unlock automatically when factory anti-theft disarms.
5 LT. Blue Wire: Ground Output While Running Under Remote Start Control (250mA). Active 2 seconds before module initializes, remains grounded while active, plus 1 second after system turns off. Requires a relay for use in Shock Sensor Bypass, Additional Ignition Output, or GM VATS Key Override.
6 Green/Yellow Wire: Diesel Wait To Start Input. Delays starter output until glow plug preheat circuit drops 12V. Overrides Bank 3 feature #11 if used.
7 Brown Wire: Brake Positive Inhibit Input (+12V instant shutdown). Connects to output side of brake switch.
8 Gray Wire: Negative Inhibit Input (Ground instant shutdown). Connects to hood pin switch. Must be tested for proper operation.
9 Black/Red Wire: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown (1 second, 250mA). Activates after remote start unit shuts down. Used to re-lock doors if they unlock automatically when ignition transitions to off.
10 Black/Yellow Wire: Ground Output During Start (Crank) (250mA). Activates while starter output is active. Used to activate Crank Low/Bulb Test Wire in GM vehicles or ECM wake up wire in Chrysler vehicles.
NOTE: Outputs above 250mA require a relay.

4 Pin Main Harness (P/N 1124320):

1 Black Wire: Chassis Ground. Connects to a known vehicle ground source.
2 White w/ Red Wire: Parking Light Relay Input Wire. Common contact of on-board parking light flasher relay. Connects to fused +12V source (Max. 15 Amps) for +12V switched parking lights, or chassis ground for ground switched parking lights.
3 Yellow w/ Black Wire: (+) Output To Alarm Ignition Input. Connects to an alarm system's ignition input to allow alarm operation during remote start.
4 White Wire: Parking Light Relay Output. Normally open contact of on-board parking light flash relay. Connects to vehicle's parking light feed wire.

5 Wire Antenna Receiver Connector (P/N 1124318):

Connects the receiver harness to the module. Supplies LED, Valet Switch, RX, and 5VDC to the receiver.

4 Pin Data Bus Port (DBI Port):

Proprietary port for Flash-Logic data bus interface modules. Used for door trigger inputs, door lock outputs, or transponder interfaces.
DO NOT connect anything other than appropriate Data Bus Interface modules to this port.

Usage Features

Installation Guidelines:

Professional Installation: Strongly recommended.
Safety First: Roll down windows to avoid locking keys inside. Avoid routing wires near hot surfaces or moving parts. Use grommets for wires through metal.
Testing: Use a Digital Multi Meter for testing; avoid "TEST LIGHT" or "COMPUTER SAFE PROBE" to prevent damage to vehicle electronics.
Pre-connection: Do not plug in main power or input/output harnesses until all vehicle connections are made. Disconnect negative battery cable before making connections.

Programming:

Tach Rate Programming (Required for all applications):
1. Turn ignition key to ON.
2. Press and release valet/program switch 3 times.
3. Turn ignition key OFF.
4. Press and hold valet/program switch, then start vehicle with key.
5. Parking lights flash when tach signal is sensed (wait for at least 5 flashes).
6. Release switch. Parking lights illuminate for 3 seconds, indicating tach signal is stored.
7. If tach learn fails (parking lights do not flash), correct tachometer connection (Green/Orange Wire) and repeat.
Programming Bank 1 (Transmitters):
1. Turn ignition key to ON.
2. Press and release valet/programming switch 3 times (lights flash once).
