toyota celica gt 1997 remote start

Hi,

Firstly thankyou for taking the time to read.

I recently bought a Keetec 8000

All info and manual here https://www.alarmbasen.dk/manual/kopel_keetec_ts8000.pdf

I've followed all instructions, everything generally works....have not attached everything from CN5, (is this compulsory) as finding tach', dome light, engine cut etc... just got frustrating and i dint want to attach the wrong wires..

Remote start is the main problem...doesnt work, i hold power for 2 seconds, the Main unit clicks four times but nothing from the car, absolutely nothing... The ignition harness is wired as instructed, i attached ignition3 to ACC...

Can anyone please help me. Thankyou. I want to at least try before i go to my garage and have them do it. I think I should learn about my car than being ignorant towards it and just paying someone else.

All advice and help is appreciated.

Thankyou in advance.

What have you connected in your car to what on the R/S? Tach is obligatory.
I think you will have 2 starter wires at the ignition and if this is a European model rather than a Japanese import it will need an ignition by-pass. Try hot wiring with key out of the car to verify.
Forget your local garage, the only person able to install this between Central Europe and the US is me.
It looks like a Compustar copy.

Thanks for the reply..

ok so far...
CN1 is connected....with Ignition connected to the gray ACC wire from the ignition harness.

CN2 Also connected...3 (trunk open) and 5 (bypass output) not attached

CN3 Working Perfectly, had a problem with just lock working, now it locks on arm AND unlocks on disarm.

CN4 N/A

CN5 NONE YET (MAIN PROBLEM??)

CN6, 7 and 8 all connected to relevant devices.

Jumpers are all set to minus, as CN5 not connected for sensing yet.

Dip Switches are 1-on 2-off 3-off (noise sensing)

And that is everything so far.

ALL HELP AND ADVICE IS APPRECIATED HOWIE!!

THANKYOU FOR YOUR TIME TO ANSWER.

Oh the wires I have at ignition are

12 VOLT CONSTANT WHITE (+) or BLACK RED (+) - connected to CN1-5 RED
STARTER      BLACK/ WHITE (+) - connected to CN1-1 WHITE
STARTER 2      N/A     
IGNITION 1      BLACK (+) - connected to CN1-6 YELLOW
IGNITION 2      BLUE/RED (+) - connected to CN1-3 BLUE
IGNITION 3      N/A     
ACCESSORY /HEATER BLOWER 1 GRAY (+) - connected to CN1-4 GREEN

CN1-2 GROUND

When i try and hot wire (starter to 12V) it cranks but doesnt start, but i dont even get a crank when i try to remote start, i get nothing.

Thanks again

Interesting install guide.      Gave me a headache.

Here is a link to the Bulldog Security for the wiring on a U.S. market Celica. 
https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp
Here is a link to DEI for their wiring guide :
https://www.readyremote.com/main.asp?action=select&yr=2142&product=Remote Start&make=Toyota&model=Celica
Compare these to your cars wiring but verify everything with a Digital Multi Meter.

Going by the guide, use IGN3 as the Accessory output but note that the remote starter does not energize
this output for one minute after the remote start. 

As for CN5, at the very least, connect Pins 5, 8 & 12 to the proper vehicle wires.  Program for Tach
Mode and do the Tach Learn process.

Also, as Howard pointed out, your car might have a Transponder Immobilizer system with a chip in the
key.  That would require a bypass module.  As a test, hold the ignition key close to the switch & try a remote start.

Soldering is fun!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply also, just tried remote starting with the key by the control unit, by the ignition, in the ignition but not turned... and still nothing.

I just noticed when i turn to ACC there is a rev sound?!

Thanks for your time and advice Kreg..its appreciated

Now I'm gonna try and connect the Tachometer, behind the drivers strut at the check connector?? how do i access this..

Where is the 'drivers strut'??

Thankyou

Driver's strut = suspension tower. Or rear of instrument panel. By the way is this the last shape Celica? If so there's a white plug adjacent to the electrics in the centre console under the radio. Lock unlock, door triggers and indicators.

Its a 1997, one before last... having trouble finding it, maybe just frustrated after wire after wire after wire.....

is there a place under the hood that i can find a tach connection?

Thankyou

You have 4 injectors all will have 1 wire the same colour any of the other wires.
Engine management, you will need to know the pinouts.
Back of rev counter.
In each case use a DMM and test.

Does this vehicle have a manual transmission?  If it does, do not cut the Brown wire, W1, in control unit.  Follow the guide to enter into reservation mode in preparation of a remote start..  If the vehicle has an automatic transmission, cut the Brown wire, W1, in control unit.   Vehicles with a manual transmissions will require CN5 - 4 and CN5 - 6 connected to the proper wires in the vehicle..

Wiring looks good for CN1.  Connect the Tach wire to the non-common color wire at a convenient Fuel Injector, set the Dip switches to 1=OFF, 2=OFF and 3=ON.  Then perform the Tach Learn process :

The sensing of engine run by Tach signal needs to setup
idle RPM (RPM setting for remote start).
RPM setting: Start-up vehicle, set-up valet mode ,
press buttons ( lock ) + M in the same time over 2 sec.,
idle RPM will save to control unit, leave valet mode.

Try a remote start.  If the car does not start look for any "Security" type lights on the dash.  If there are "Security" lights, try a remote start with the ignition keyhead held next to the ignition switch.

All connections should be well soldered and insulated with a quality electric tape.

All your time is appreciated. :)
