AviStart 3300 Installation Guide
In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash- board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes out the vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard. It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.
To test and determine the polarity of this wire:
1. Set your multimeter to DCV or DC voltage (12 or 20V is fine).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to (+)12V.
3. Probe the wire that you suspect leads to the bulb with the (-) probe of the meter.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. If the meter indicates 12 volts until the light goes out you have isolated the correct wire and the wire’s polar- ity is negative (ground while the bulb is on).
6. If the meter reads zero volts until the light goes out and then reads 12 volts, you have isolated the correct wire and the wire’s polarity is positive.
- Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s Guide is very helpful when testing.
- When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™(NPC™). NPC can bypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working. See the Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section.
- Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the vehicle reassembly.
