Caution! Do not wire tie the metal bracket to an existing wiring harness as vibration may cause chaffing
and shorting damaging the factory wiring. If an existing harness is not available then secure
the relay's metal mounting tab to an under dash metal brace with a #8 self tapping sheet
metal screw. Wire the relay as per the diagram found later in this manual.
The AA-RS40CS is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this
combination Alarm/Remote Start unit is a sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST
NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious
personal injury and property damage.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT
HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE
BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT
THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY
CONNECTIONS.
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:
RED w/WHITE Trace Wire: + 12 volts Battery 1 Source
Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp
fuse and holder provided. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and
ignition 2 relays.
RED Wire: + 12 Volts Battery 2 Source
Connect this wire to a + 12 VDC constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp
fuse and holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the battery 1 source. Most
vehicles have more than one battery source supplying power to the ignition switch. Separate feed wires
must be used for the Red and Red/White wires. If your vehicle does not have two battery feed wires at
the ignition switch then it is possible to connect both wires to the vehicle's battery. This wire provides
power for the start relay and the accessory relay.
IMPORTANT!
It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical
circuits when the vehicle is running, and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load. If
the vehicle, running under load with the air conditioner, heater blower motor, and accessories exceed 24
Amps continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown
below. For additional information see Tech Update issued 9/30/96.
YELLOW Wire: Starter Output
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from
starting while in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical
Neutral Start Switch will allow you to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation
method. In addition you will realize why the connection of the safety wire is required for all
mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and
