1. wait to start light The purpose of the Glow plug circuit on diesel vehicles is to pre heat the Combustion Chamber before the vehicle is started When a Remote Starter is installed on a diesel vehicle the Glow plug section of the Ignition circuit must be activated and allowed to operate before the vehicle is remote started For that purpose the Glow plug input wire of the Module must be connected to the Glow plug indicator light of the vehicle The Module will only accept positive Glow plug input signals if the signal is negative use a relay to invert its polarity A diode must be added between the negative Glow plug trigger on the relay and the negative Glow plug wire of the car This is to prevent feedback effects on the Glow plug indicator light on the instrument cluster the light on the dash would come on because of the feedback even though the circuit is off When the user remote starts the vehicle e The Module will power up the Ignition circuit and wait to engage the Starter Motor while the Glow plug indicator light is still on e The Module will engage the Starter Motor as soon as the Glow plug light goes out e Minimum waiting time is 3 seconds e Maximum waiting time is 25 seconds approx If no Glow plug wire is found on the vehicle the Glow plug input on the Module may be timed out The Module will power up the Ignition and Glow plug circuits and simply wait for the time out before starting e Connecting2.
