Notes:

*1 This vehicle has six coils each mounted on top of the spark plugs. The negative side of each coil is a green wire with stripe. GREEN/ black, GREEN / WHITE, GREEN/ orange, solid green, GREEN/ red, GREEN / WHITE. Use one wire and set module to one cylinder setting.  *2 In a white plug in the lower drivers kick. this plug is for a dealer installed alarm and is not connected unless there is an alarm in the vehicle.  When metering the wires, have to use the passenger door lock switch.    *3 Behind left rear side panel at the rear wiper diode.    *4 Located in the yellow air-bag wiring harness.  Use caution when working with this harness, and test the wire with a digital multi-meter with a high internal resistance.  Testing the incorrect wire with ANY other testing instrument will deploy the air-bag.

If your remote unit has a (-) trigger hatch release you will need a relay to convert the (-) to a (+) signal in order for the hatch to open via the AUX channel.

Jeff, Thank you very much for the information.  I am installing the unit as a early Christmas present for my wife and you just made it that much easier to make her happy.  Thank you, Kevin
