• BLACK – This wire is the system ground input. Connect this wire to the bare metal on the vehicle chassis. Solace recommends a kick panel and scraping away any paint. All your ground connections from the remote starter and any add-ons, such as alarm sensor or bypass module, should be grounded at the same point.
• PURPLE – (+) START OUTPUT – This wire will send out a 12V(+) pulse during crank. Connect this wire to the (+) Starter wire on the vehicle.
• ORANGE – (+) ACCESSORY OUTPUT – This wire sends outa a 12V(+) signal but shuts off during the crank cycle. Connect
  This wire is connected to the (+) Accessory wire on the vehicle.
• PINK – (+) IGNITION INPUT/OUTPUT – This wire sends out a 12V(+) signal during remote start and during the crank cycle. This wire is also the ignition feed for the remote starter and is required for programming. Connect this wire to the (+) Ignition wire on the vehicle.
• PINK/WHITE – (+) SELECTABLE OUTPUT – This wire is programmable in Menu 2-01. Whatever it is programmed for, it will duplicate the output for a 2nd wire. It is the default set to (+) Ignition. Connect this wire to either 2nd Ignition, 2nd Starter, or 2nd Accessory. Please be sure to program for the correct wire on the vehicle. This wire can also be programmed to control a (+) Positive trunk release, (+) PUSH TO START BRAKE output, or SIREN. Connect to a positive trunk release circuit if needed and program Menu 2-19 to the desired setting.

CN2 (LOCKS)

• GREEN- (-) 325mA LOCK OUTPUT – This wire will send a (-) pulse whenever the lock is pressed. Connect this wire to the
  vehicle’s NEGATIVE lock wire. DO NOT connect to any wire other than the negative. This is a programmable output that can be programmed for timing, number of pulses, and when it turns on. Please see Menu 1-02, 1-03, 1-05, 1-12, and 1-13
• EMPTY- (+) 1 AMP POSITIVE OUTPUT – This empty spot will send a constant 12V(+) output that can be used to trip a
  relay or a Power Door Lock Module. DO NOT use this wire to drive reverse polarity door locks. DO NOT connect to a high-amperage circuit, as damage may occur.
• BLUE- (-) 325mA UNLOCK OUTPUT – This wire will send a (-) pulse whenever unlock is pressed. Connect this wire to the vehicle’s NEGATIVE unlock wire.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

We recommend using a digital multimeter to test all wires in the vehicle, as on-board computer systems can be damaged by using a ow low-resistance testing device, including test lights, and even computer-safe test lights (logic test probe). Notice Air Bag systems and do not disconnect these systems, as it may turn on a “check air bag system” light or code that may need a dealer scan tool to clear the fault. We also recommend testing all functions of the vehicle, such as power windows, locks, and  HVAC systems. Check for any instrument cluster lights that are on, such as “Check Engine”, “Air Bag”, and  “TPMS” lights. Also, check that all lights work on the vehicle, such as brake lights, headlights, interior lights, etc. Also, check the interior and exterior for any damage, including scuffs, dents, fingerprints, etc. Be sure to note all deficiencies or other problems and make the customer aware of these before starting the installation.

TESTING VEHICLE WIRES

WHEN LOOKING FOR A POSITIVE (+) WIRE, CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR METER TO A CHASSIS GROUND. WHEN LOOKING FOR A NEGATIVE (-) WIRE, CONNECT ONE LEAD OF YOUR METER TO A 12V (+) CONSTANT SOURCE.

• 12 VOLTS (+) CONSTANT – You can find different locations for 12V(+) constant. You can use either the (+)
  Battery Terminal or the (+) Constant feed to the ignition switch. To test for this wire, use a multimeter set to DC Voltage with one lead to chassis ground and the other lead to probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (+), no matter the position of the key switch. This wire will also be powering the locks, bypass modules, and other circuits, so we recommend you DO NOT remove or change the supplied 30Amp Fuses on the 12V(+) Remote Starter wires. Connect the Red and Red/White wires on CN1 to this wire. If there are 2 12V(+) constant wires at the ignition switch, we recommend connecting the Red wire from CN1 to one and the Red/White wire from CN1 to the other.
• STARTER (+) – This wire provides a 12V(+) Source to the starter directly or to the starter circuit on the vehicle. To test for this wire, use a multimeter set to DC Voltage with one lead to chassis ground and the other lead to probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (+) when the key is in the Start (Crank) position in the key switch. Connect the Purple wire on CN1 to this wire. If there are more than 1 starter wires on the vehicle, then you can use the Pink/White from CN1 and program for 2nd Starter in Menu 2-01, or use the Purple/Black on CN4 through a Relay to power this wire. See the relay guide.
• STARTER (-) – This wire provides a Negative(-) Source to the starter circuit on the vehicle. To test for this wire, use a multimeter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the key is in the Start (Crank) position in the key switch. Connect the Purple/Black wire on CN4 to this wire.
• ACCESSORY (+) – This wire provides a 12V(+) Source to the HVAC circuits on the vehicle. To test for this wire, use a multimeter set to DC Voltage with one lead to chassis ground and the other lead to probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (+) when the key is in the ACC and Run position in the key switch. This wire will NOT show a positive feed in the Start (Crank) position. Connect the Orange wire on CN1 to this wire. If there are more than 1 starter wires on the vehicle, then you can use the Pink/White from CN1 and program for 2nd Accessory in Menu 2-01, or use the Orange/Black on CN4 through a Relay to power this wire. See the relay guide.
• ACCESSORY (-) – This wire provides a Negative(-) Source to the HVAC circuits on the vehicle. To test for this wire, use a multimeter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the key is in the ACC and Run position in the key switch. This wire will NOT show a negative feed in the Start (Crank) position. Connect the Orange/Black wire on CN4 to this wire
• UNLOCK (-) – This wire can usually always be found at the door panel lock/unlock switch, and on most cars at the BCM. It is becoming more popular that locks can be controlled using a bypass module. To test for this wire, use a multimeter set to DC Voltage with one lead to 12V(+) Constant and the other lead to probe for a wire that reads between 10-16Volts (-) when the unlock button is pressed. Connect the Blue wire on CN2 to this wire. Multiple changes can be made to the way this wire functions in Menu 1-01 to 1-05.
