4. Step on the brake pedal and shift the gear selector into "DRIVE (D).
5. Put your foot over the brake pedal but do not press down on it. Be ready to step on the
brake to shut down the Remote Start Device.
6. Start the vehicle using remote transmitter.
a. If the starter does not engage, the test is complete.
b. If the starter engages, immediately step on the brake pedal to shut down the system,
recheck your VIOLET wire (H1/1 starter output wire) connection. The heavy gauge
VIOLET wire must be connected to the ignition switch side of the Neutral Start Switch. If
the vehicle you are working on does not have an Electrical Neutral Safety Switch, it will
be necessary to reconfigure the Remote Starts Wiring to accommodate this vehicle. The
information concerning the Mechanical Neutral Safety Switch provided below will help
you to determine if the vehicle you are working on has this type of safety switch and will
provide alternative wiring methods to accommodate this situation.
MECHANICAL NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH CONSIDERATIONS:
Mechanical neutral safety switch configurations differ slightly in that they do not offer the
same level of safety when installing a remote start device. Often when the ignition switch
is turned off while the gear selector is in any position other than park or neutral the
mechanical function will not allow the key to be turned to the start position or be removed
from the ignition cylinder. This configuration prevents mechanical operation while the
vehicle is in gear but offers no consideration for electrical operation Because of this
potential problem, this installation requires the additional connection of a safety wire from
the remote start device to the vehicle PARK/NEUTRAL ECM input or the vehicle key in
sensor. This connection will prevent remote start operation if the key is left in the ignition
switch regardless of the gear selector position.
PARK/NEUTRAL ECM INPUT
The Park/Neutral ECM input is the preferred method of installation. This not only
maintains the integrity of the factory circuit, it is
also the easiest to install, providing the vehicle you are working on has this ECM input.
The installation required for this application (shown below), indicates in the slight
reconfiguration of the control switch wiring
Shown is a typical GM Park/Neutral ECM input circuit. To connect the Remote Start unit to
the GM Park/Neutral ECM input:
1. Locate the Orange/Black reference wire in the "C2" connector found at the ECM in
GM B Body vehicles or, locate the equivalent reference wire in the vehicle you are
installing the Remote Start Unit in
2. Connect the BLACK/VJHITE Neutral Safety Switch wire (H6/8) to this reference wire
NOTE: If the optional remote starts enable toggle switch is installed, connect the one side
the enable switch to this reference wire
and connect the other side of the enable switch to the BLACKIW HITE Neutral Safety
Switch wire (H6/8) of the Remote Start unit The reference diagram on the next page
shows a typical GM B Body ECM reference wire and how it is to be connected to the
