Identify Vehicle Starter Line
Before installing the Motive Engine Immobilizer, remove any existing third-party relays controlling the starter line, fuel pump, or acceleration.
- Find the starter line in your vehicle. Look near the starter solenoid in the steering column or other parts of the vehicle.
| Note: Do not install on ignition line as this can lead to abrupt vehicle stops |
Confirm Starter Line Voltage
2. Use a multimeter to measure voltage from the starter line.
3. Check the voltage when the ignition is off, in accessory mode, and on. It should be 0V.
4. When you turn the key to start the engine, the voltage should read 12 or 24V, depending on your vehicle type.
| Note: General representation may vary from the vehicle. |
Connect Engine Immobilizer
5. Cut the starter line wire between the ignition switch and the starter motor.
6. Get the Engine Immobilizer.
7. Connect the Engine Immobilizer with the external harness connection.
8. Get the relay (12/24V) based on vehicle type and connect it to the relay socket.
9. Connect the relay socket to the appropriate wires:
- Black (86 Relay pin) to the 12/24V source.
- Blue (30 Relay pin) to the starter line from the ignition switch.
- Yellow (87 Relay Pin) remains unused.
- Red (87a Relay pin) to the line going to the starter motor.
- White (85 Relay pin) to the "Green" wire of the Engine Immobilizer external harness.
Mounting Instructions
10. Peel off the adhesive backing from the Engine Immobilizer.
11. Mount the Engine Immobilizer in the desired location.
| Note: Ensure the relay is mounted in a hidden and secure location. |
12. Mount the relay on a rigid surface to reduce vibration.
| Note: Avoid disassembling the device. Keep it away from high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight to prevent damage. Don’t use the device on airplanes or near medical equipment. |
