Car with manual transmission? In order for autostart to work, you need to PERFORM PROGRAM NEUTRAL (show the alarm that the startup process will be safe for others): -After parking the car, raise and tighten the parking brake - the corresponding light on the dashboard should light up! -Remove the key from the ignition - the engine should continue to run! -Get out of the car (the driver's door switch must be in good working order) - the alarm will “see” that the door has opened/closed and “understand” that the driver has left. (the engine is still running!) -Press the arming button - simultaneously with arming, the engine will stall (if the turbo timer mode for a motor with a turbine is not turned on). AFTER THIS, LAUNCHES ARE POSSIBLE. But if you return to the car and open at least one door, repeat the neutralization AGAIN. Otherwise, there will be no autostarts/disstarts.

Regarding the fact that the key fob is lying - it shows a running engine when the engine is not running - Tomahawks are capricious according to the rules for connecting the engine control wire - the gray-black wire of the 18-pin connector. Only pros will help you here (you need to go to them to watch LIVE). Because you need to figure out where and how this wire is connected. The best option is a tacho signal (but it must be connected through a brand capacitor, for example K73-17 or a similar 0.5. 1.5 uF at a voltage of 160 volts, in second place is the “charge” lamp (control by generator). The worst thing (and most likely for you) it is so - not everyone will find a suitable control signal on Fords) if the gray-black wire is not connected ANYWHERE (control by noise - voltage of the on-board network (this is not the same as the generator)). It is difficult to treat this on the Internet. you see - you need to look where it is connected, an oscilloscope is an irreplaceable thing, especially for searching for TAKH pulses, you need to analyze and probably CHANGE SOMETHING in the connections, plus reprogram the alarm for these reconnections.

This means that the PROGRAM NEUTRAL PROCEDURE on your CAR is involved and it (the procedure) must be performed whenever you want to be able to start the CAR remotely/automatically. It is made so that IT DOESN'T GO BY ITSELF, collecting along the way everything that falls under the wheels.

What does "work" mean? Does the car start or not? If it starts, runs for the set time (maybe 10, 15, 20 minutes), then stalls on its own, then you need to CAREFULLY LOOK at the key fob to see what it will show on the screen when it DOES NOT START. Since you have 9020, it means launches at intervals. You'll have to keep watch - the next launch could be in 1 hour, or 2 hours, or 4 hours (I don't remember about 3 hours). It all depends on how the person who installed the whitefish programmed it. So - IF the alarm system CANNOT start the engine for some reason, then IT WILL DEFINITELY tell you on the key fob by drawing something. Another test option: DO NOT ACTIVATE the autostart on the key fob, BUT PERFORM A NEUTRAL TEST. 3 hours after this, go out to the car and standing next to it and looking into the cabin at the tidy, press the remote start button, LOOK CAREFULLY and LISTEN: 1. St (start of START) should appear on the key fob instead of the clock, the key fob should play a melody. 2. The car should flash its lights (and possibly quack its siren). 3. The dashboard should light up and the buzzing of the fuel pump should be heard (usually somewhere under the belly (it’s in the gas tank)). ATTENTION – the buzzing should stop before step 4 starts. 4. After about 2..4. Within 6 seconds the starter should begin to rotate quite quickly and the engine will eventually start. (On Fords I usually set the delay to 6 seconds - the fuel pump pumps for a long time, and if the starter starts turning before the gas is pumped, it’s not a fact that the car will start) 5. The car should blink its lights. 6. A melody should play on the key fob and smoke should appear in the picture from behind the car, r10 (r15, r20) should light up above the car - warm-up time.

If, instead of the events of step 4, a sluggish VU (VU-VU) is heard, or even more so a central control system, or even silence, and then on the SP (StartPenalty) key fob - the start is impossible, canceled, interrupted, then most likely there is a problem with the battery. When the starter is turned on, the voltage drops below 10 volts (you can accurately verify this using a voltmeter), but the signaling system does not like this - it RESETS THE CURRENT START and CANCELS ALL SUBSEQUENT ones. In second place are bad contacts in the signaling circuits, first of all - the 30A fuse block on the red thick wire of the whitefish, and of course the battery contacts, contacts at the junctions of the signaling and car wiring. ATTENTION. With the key, the car can start quite well - this is not the Russian auto industry - the starter with a planetary gear spins at 9 volts and even at 7, and the injection and ignition electronics very often have enough of the same 7-8 volts to “splash” the gasoline and “strike” a spark in the cylinder.

If the signal in step 4 makes 3-4 attempts to rotate the starter (quite long), but the engine does not start, then there may be a problem with the IMMObilizer bypasser. (Or it does not have time to pump the fuel pump - see above) After the handbrake was raised during the preparation process of the car and pulled out the key - stick it back into the lock, BUT DO NOT TURN it, just stick it in. Get out, arm the car, and try starting it again after three hours. If it works on the first try, there is a problem with the crawler. (It is better to do this - leave the key in the lock in a protected area). Like that.

Troubleshooting tips from the manufacturer

Let's look at the most common breakdowns of the anti-theft system and how to fix them.

1. The remote control battery is faulty. Replace it with a new one.
2. The vehicle is in a radio interference zone. Move the vehicle to another location.
3. De-synchronization of the key fob and alarm control unit. Re-register the remote control.
4. Deterioration of the anti-theft system. Contact the service center.

In addition, other malfunctions in the operation of the Tomahawk 9010 may occur. Let's consider them in more detail.

Tomahawk 9010 does not enter programming mode

The reasons why the system does not enter settings may be the following.

1. The “Valet” mode is turned on - the LED is constantly on.
2. The Override button is damaged. The integrity of the wire from the key to the control unit is broken.
3. The control unit does not detect that the ignition is turned on. Contact the specialists.

Disconnect the gray/black wire that goes to the oil pressure sensor or tachometer. The security system can be programmed, but without autostart.

Having corrected all problems, enter programming mode:

• without starting the engine, turn on the ignition;
• Press the “Override” button six times;
• turn off the ignition. The siren will sound 6 times to confirm entry into programming mode.

We have a diagram of the Tomahawk 9010 alarm unit.

Solutions

Knowing the potential causes is only half the battle, because it is necessary to identify the malfunction and figure out what to do if a car with a Tomahawk 9010 alarm system does not start from autostart. Below we will look at the main steps that can restore the functionality of the function.

Check that the basic conditions are met

One of the reasons why the function does not work is failure to comply with the requirements required for automatic engine start to work on vehicles with Tomahawk 9010, 9020, 9030 and other models. Check the following conditions:

• The vehicle ignition is turned off.
• The hood is closed.
• The gearshift knob is in neutral (on manual transmission) or on P (on automatic transmission). In addition, in the case of mechanics, Manual Gear should be lit on the key fob.

• The car is on the handbrake.
• Valet mode is disabled.
• The function is enabled.

In any of the cases discussed above, the auto start does not work in the Tomahawk alarm, and the security system itself emits four beeps.

Make sure you turn it on correctly

There are often complaints on the forums that they say that the Tomahawk 9010 alarm does not turn on for autostart and does not respond to commands from the key fob. Most often this happens due to incorrect activation of the function.

So, on the TW-9010 model for remote start, do the following:

• Click on the button with the key. The parking lights come on three times and the audible alarm sounds the same number of times.

• Pay attention to the display. The inscription St indicates an attempt to start the engine, and SP indicates problems. So, if the Tomahawk alarm does not autostart, the SP error is displayed on the key fob. If everything went well and the engine started, a melody appears on the key fob, and in the picture of the car there is an image of smoke from the exhaust pipe.

If all manipulations are performed correctly, the machine’s engine runs for the set time and then turns off. To increase the starting time, press the key and lock button. After each press, autostart runs five minutes longer.

To turn on the device based on temperature, click on the button with the key and the trunk open. The lights and sound will sound once to confirm that the option has been activated and the fan symbol will appear on the display.

If you need to turn on the system by time, click on the symbol of the key and the crossed out speaker. A single sound and light signal indicates that the option is enabled. A picture of a clock appears on the display.

The reasons why autostart does not work on the Tomahawk X5 alarm system are similar. Here it is also necessary to check that the conditions discussed above are met. Additionally, to activate the option, do the following:

1. By temperature. Press the open lock/key button until the signal sounds, and then press the open trunk button.
2. By time. Click on the open lock / key symbol, and then on the closed lock / zZ key.

After this, look carefully at the icons on the keychain, each of them has its own meaning. And they will easily help you understand whether everything is okay with the device.

Run diagnostics

In a situation where the auto start of the Tomahawk alarm from the key fob has stopped working, there may be more serious reasons. Take the following steps:

• Make sure the alarm can see the handbrake. When it is raised/lowered, a special indicator appears on the key fob display.

• Pay attention to whether the security system sees the engine running. There are situations when the Tomahawk 9010 autostart stops working due to malfunctions of the generator or oxidation of the power connection points. In the latter case, the unit will receive less voltage than provided by the manufacturer.
• Check the door switches. This problem can disrupt the system's operation algorithm, which is why the Tomahawk 9010 does not start from autorun. So, if the alarm does not see the driver's door switch, it will not complete program neutral.

Check the starter cranking time

In a situation where the Tomahawk autostart turns the starter, but the car does not start, pay attention to the cranking time. In winter, when the timing is less than 0.8 s, the engine does not have time to pick up, but the thickened oil extinguishes the pressure lamp. The next time you try to start, Tomahawk sees the engine supposedly running before the starter is turned on, and makes no further attempts.

Make sure the crawler is working correctly

If a vehicle equipped with the Tomahawk 9010 has a crawler, make sure it works correctly. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Open and close the doors to simulate getting out of the car.
3. Try autostarting by placing the key in the ignition.
4. If the immobilizer does not recognize the crawler, it should see the lock key, which will allow the engine to start.

When examining the crawler, pay attention to the position of the chip relative to the internal antenna. It should stand at 90 degrees to the turns. Try changing your position.

If the autostart of the Tomahawk 9010 works, but the engine starts and stalls, increase the operating time of the crawler in the settings.

Reset

In some cases, resetting the settings may help. The algorithm is like this:

• Turn on the ignition.
• Press Override 10 times. It is usually not difficult to find out where the Valet button is located.

• Turn off the ignition. The siren should sound 10 times.
• Press Override 1 time.
• Arm/disarm the car.
• Turn the ignition on/off.

Knowing why autostart does not work on the Tomahawk 9010 and how to fix the problem, you can restore the alarm system to working order without going to a service station. In the comments, share your experience in solving similar problems.

The starter turns, but does not start

The error may occur for the following reasons (during autostart).

1. The remote start mode is incorrectly activated: the car is not put on the handbrake, the gear is engaged, autostart on the Tomahawk 9010 key fob is not turned on.
2. A mode that blocks the machine's engine is activated. Deactivate it and start the engine.
3. The immobilizer is broken. Contact the specialists.
4. The anti-theft system control unit has failed. Go to the service center.
5. Autorun functions are not programmed correctly. Reset all settings to factory defaults.

Autorun function.

First, start the autostart function only when the engine is turned off and the car is set to alarm.

Secondly, observe the conditions for cars with different transmissions. A car with an automatic transmission must be in the “Parking” position.

For mechanics, it is important to leave the gear lever in neutral and activate the handbrake

Tomahawk security systems allow you to use the autorun mode in different ways.

Types of automatic engine start:

• Remote engine start;
• By time (at regular intervals or at a certain time);
• At a given temperature.

Let's consider each type of autorun separately.

Remote engine start

The easiest way to use the engine auto-start option is to force this function to be turned on. That is, the owner turns on the automatic engine start mode remotely, and the car runs for a certain time. The driver then drives off with the vehicle ready to go. To remotely start the engine, you need to perform a simple algorithm of actions:

1. Press the “KEY” button on the key fob
2. The parking lights will flash three times and the siren will sound three times;
3. The signal for successful activation of the function is the appearance of the “CAR” sign on the mini-display. In this mode, the key fob emits a melody

The engine will run for the pre-programmed time.

By time

Under constant weather conditions, when the autostart has to be used daily, the car owner can configure the automatic operation function according to the specified time interval parameters. To activate this option, you must follow the following algorithm of actions:

1. Press and hold the “KEY” and “LIGHT OFF” keys together until the parking lights turn on and then turn off.
2. The text “CLOCK” will appear on the display of the car alarm key fob, set the time you need
3. A short ringtone will sound as a sign of successful activation of the function

Trigger by temperature

During the cold season, when the temperature at night drops to below 20

Instructions for connecting the “Autostart by temperature” function:

1. Press and simultaneously hold the “TRUNK OPEN” and “KEY” buttons until the side lights turn on and a sound signal appears
2. The “SNOWFLAKE” icon will appear on the mini-display. Set the air temperature at which you want your car to start automatically.
3. The signal for successful activation is a short musical ringtone.

The option allows you to configure autostart at temperatures from -5C to -30C no more than six times in an interval of 2 hours.

Siren doesn't work

Horn malfunction may occur for the following reasons.

1. Activating the “Quiet Mode” of the security system. Turn it off and check the siren's operation.
2. Failure of the alarm control unit. Contact the specialists.
3. Blown fuses, faulty wires responsible for connecting the horn. Replace fuses and wires. Check the siren operation.
4. Damage to the siren itself. Check the speaker. Repair it or replace it with a new one.

Tomahawk tw 9010 starts with key fob and stalls

The car starts with the remote control, but turns off after 3 seconds. What to do in this situation? The alarm system initially controls the operation of the engine via the on-board network. If there is a problem with charging or power supply, then the following symptoms occur. Connect the gray-black wire to the oil pressure light or battery charge control icon. Start the engine.

We also have an instruction manual for the Tomahawk 9010 key fob.

Auto engine start

By temperature

When installing the Tomahawk 9010 alarm system, an additional temperature sensor is hung under the hood. When autostarting the engine based on temperature, the system is guided by the readings of this sensor, and if an external sensor is not installed, then by the air temperature in the cabin.

To activate automatic engine start based on temperature, you must:

• simultaneously press buttons No. 4 (key) and No. 1 (trunk) - the parking lights will flash once, the siren will emit one beep;
• the melodic trill of the key fob will sound and two new objects will appear on its display: an icon depicting a fan and a warm-up temperature set by software;
• if the system is based on an external temperature sensor, the engine will start when the temperature drops below the programmed mark;
• If the system is based on the air temperature in the cabin, the engine will automatically start when the air warms up to the set temperature.

To disable this function, press buttons No. 4 (key) and No. 1 (trunk). The car will react with a double flash of parking lights and a double siren signal. The key fob will play a melodic trill again and the fan icon will disappear from its display.

By time

To activate timed engine autostart, you must hold down buttons No. 4 (key) and No. 2 (silent security) - the car will honk, the pager will emit a melodic trill and an icon with a clock will appear on its display. From now on, the Tomahawk 9010 will start the vehicle engine every day at the same time when this function was activated.

To disable the daily autostart function by time, you must again press the buttons “4” (key) and “2” (silent security). The parking lights will flash twice and the system will confirm deactivation of the function with two beeps. The clock icon will disappear on the key fob display and a melodic trill will sound.

At regular intervals

The Tomahawk 9010 system allows you to automatically start the engine at regular intervals. To activate this function, you need to activate the daily autostart function, and then within 5 seconds select the corresponding button on the key fob and press it:

• No. 5 (lock) – engine starts every hour;
• No. 4 (key) – start the engine at intervals of 2 hours;
• No. 1 (trunk) – starting the engine at intervals of 4 hours;
• No. 2 (silent security) – starting the engine at intervals of 12 hours.

The system will remember the selected interval. The engine will be started for the first time immediately after the programming session is completed.

Tomahawk 9010 blocks engine start

Tomahawk anti-theft systems may malfunction. What to do if the car engine does not start, the starter does not even try to turn? Let's look at several reasons.

1. Accidental activation of the motor lock function. Carefully study the information on the remote control screen. Disable the powertrain lock and start the car.
2. Inspect the alarm fuses. If burnt out ones are found, this indicates serious malfunctions in the operation of the security system. Replace the faulty fuse with a new one. Start the car.
3. Low battery charge or loose terminals. Charge the battery. Check and tighten terminals.
4. Incorrect operation of the limit switches located under the hood and trunk lid. Replace them and try starting the engine.

How to increase starter cranking time

In some situations, after long-term operation or severe cold weather, the initial cranking time of the starter may not be enough. The piston group begins to rotate, but the pick-up does not work. For such situations, the manufacturer has provided the possibility of increasing the starter operating time.

Enter the program by pressing Override three times.

The system allows the driver to set three modes:

• 800 ms – press the closed lock;
• 1200 ms – press the key on the key fob;
• 1800 ms – activated via the trunk open button;
• 3000 ms – you will need to click on the crossed out speaker.

In this case, the factory position is set exactly to 800 ms. It is assumed that the device will be operated in warm weather and with a working battery. Failures are logically explained by wear of the battery and freezing of oil in the crankcase compartment.

You can watch the calibration procedure in more detail in the video.

Glitches with doors

What to do if the alarm system does not open the central locking from the remote control? How to remove the block? Below we will look at possible situations.

1. Broken key fob. Repair the communicator yourself or contact a specialist.
2. Poor quality wire twists. Open the insulation of the wires, clean the connection, solder it, and insulate it.
3. Failure of the alarm control unit. In this case, it is better to contact an electrician.
4. The key fob has become untied from the control unit. Re-register the remote control in the memory of the control unit.

Tomahawk 9010 alarm system stopped working

It happens that the car malfunctions, does not want to open, close, or start. The reason is the alarm and its problems, which include:

• dead battery of the control panel. Replace the battery with a new one and check the operation of the Tomahawk 9010;
• radio interference that interferes with the operation of the alarm system. Place the car in another place;
• breakdown of the security system control unit. Take the car to a service center;
• desynchronization of the remote control with the vehicle. Register the key fob in the anti-theft system memory.

Description and characteristics

Quite high-quality products from this manufacturer are entering the market, which are distinguished by reasonable prices, including when it comes to “top” models with a range of 434 and 868 MHz and built-in memory.

Here are just a few of their inherent features:

• Availability of feedback with remote polling of systems status.
• Search for a vehicle in case of theft.
• Remote (automatic) start when the temperature drops to a certain level.
• Opening the trunk with one button.
• Availability of additional control channels.
• Built-in motor lock.
• Quiet mode.
• Anti-grabber.
• Engine blocking.
• Safe driving.
• Auto-staging.
• Immobilizer.
• Lock programming.
• Anti-scanner.

A large number of options certainly makes operating the car easier and more comfortable. For example, the remote start system allows you to automatically start the engine at a great distance in cold weather and get into an already warm interior when the car is warmed up, or in hot weather you can turn on the air conditioning in the same way.

The Tomahawk anti-theft system is designed to protect your vehicle from theft. If a thief gets into the car, the system will notify the owner with an alarm, block the engine, and the car will not move.

In addition, such protective systems have volatile memory: if the power is turned off, the system will remember all previously set parameters. The range of such devices is an impressive 1300 meters.

Error: LED blinks 2, 3, 4 times and that’s it

It turned out to be a glitch in the signaling - the LED was blinking, the engine was blocked from starting. One of the reasons is the incorrect operation of the door, hood, and trunk switches. Clean contacts or replace switches. Test the alarm.

Another reason may be the incorrect location of the car engine temperature sensor. Reinstall the sensor according to the instruction manual.

The key fob doesn't see the car

The Tomahawk TV 9010 pager does not respond to the alarm for the following reasons:

• The battery in the remote control is dead. Replace with a new one;
• The vehicle is in a radio interference zone. Move it to another place;
• breakdown of the alarm control unit. Contact the service center;
• The synchronization of the remote control with the machine is broken. Re-register the pager in the security system memory;
• failure of the communicator. Repair it yourself or contact a service center.

Tomahawk key fob functions: button combinations

The most common Tomahawk models have two standard remotes. The main element has five buttons and is a tool equipped with all the necessary controls.

Depending on the key combination, the security system can be configured to suit the needs of the motorist, which guarantees sufficient comfort during operation of the device. The instructions for use contain a detailed description of the buttons and options.

1. The F key is designed to enter the key fob settings and calibrate alarm options.
2. Crossed out speaker – control of the sound of the security module.
3. An element with a pattern of an open trunk is responsible for the position of the cargo compartment lid and hood.
4. The key is a button for calling the security function and activating the anti-theft system.
5. Lock - a structural element designed to control the locking of doors and central locking.

Depending on the key combination entered, the remote control calls up a certain option or operating mode of the alarm. The full list of features is in the instructions.

Security modes

Thanks to the updated firmware, all Tomahawk devices have several modes.

1. Standard protection. The mode provides for normal vehicle security with all sirens and lights turned on.
2. Setting in silent mode means turning off the sirens. Information about a break-in attempt is transmitted only to the driver's key fob.
3. Auto staging. This option allows the owner not to worry about forgetting to turn on the alarm. If the extension is active, the car will automatically arm itself after turning off the engine and closing all doors.
4. Immobilizer - turns on automatically 30 seconds after closing the car. In this case, it is impossible to start the engine with a regular key.

Automatic heating based on temperature

Most Tomahawk models have the ability to automatically warm up the power plant based on temperature. The built-in sensor allows you to accurately adjust the thermometer to trigger the mode. In some modifications, it is possible to connect an additional thermoelement and warm up the engine according to the temperature in the engine compartment (the accuracy and efficiency of the procedure increases).

In addition to activation, you can set the following parameters:

• lower engine start threshold;
• starter cranking time;
• oil pressure or crankshaft speed at which the start relay is turned off;
• upper threshold for power plant shutdown.

Remote motor start

Some device modifications have the ability to remotely start the engine. The extension is extremely convenient for drivers who need to preheat the engine before leaving. Thus, you can start the car while sitting at home and when the owner arrives, the vehicle will be immediately ready to go.

The main parameter is the need for proper preparation - the process is universal for all alarms:

• turn off the ignition;
• put the gearbox in neutral;
• raise the handbrake lever all the way;
• get out of the car and close all doors.

After completing the operation, the appropriate combination is entered on the remote control.

Auto start by timer

Similar to other options, Tomahawk key fobs offer automatic engine start using a timer. The extension is in demand among a group of owners who need quick departures at different times.

Depending on the model, the response interval can be set with a gap of 2, 4, 12 or 24 hours. Just like with starting by temperature, the procedure requires preliminary preparation (manual gearbox).

Jack State

Many users cannot figure out the Valet mode. The function is designed to make it possible to provide the vehicle to third parties for repairs or service. When activated, the security complex is completely disabled, except for the part responsible for controlling the central locking.

To enable Valet mode on each device, you must enter a unique combination of characters. At the same time, the Zz indicator will light up on the display of the main key fob, indicating that the sleep mode is operating.

Anti-theft mode

Along with modern analogues of third-party alarm systems, the Tomahawk security complex contains the Anti-hijack function. The anti-grabber helps the driver preserve property during an attempted theft. In case of illegal entry into the car, the device turns off the engine and sabotages the operation of the main systems. Thus, it becomes impossible to leave by car.

To activate the Anti Hijack program, you usually need to follow these steps:

• start the engine;
• simultaneously press the closed lock + open trunk.

Doesn't start with key

There are problems with the alarm system, the car will not start with the key. Let's look at the reasons for this:

• The engine lock is accidentally activated. Take it off;
• the anti-theft system relay contacts are connected in parallel to the ignition switch and starter contacts;
• Any other blocking has been activated. Return the security system settings to factory settings.

Reset previous settings:

When a used car is purchased complete with a security system, it is quite possible that many unnecessary settings will be retained from the old owner, moreover, this may be the reason why the car does not start, so it is necessary to “reset” it.

To do this, press the OVERRIDE button nine times with the ignition off. Then turn the key and press the indicated button. At the first signal, place your finger on the image of the lock. Turn off the ignition again, after which all settings will return to their original (factory) state.

When installing a protective system in a car (service) center, the OVERRIDE button is placed under the steering wheel, and it is through it that all basic functions are programmed.

Tomahawk 9010 does not respond to the Override button

Pressing the Override key does not do anything. There may be reasons for this.

1. The button itself is faulty. Install a new one.
2. Break in the electrical circuit from the key to the control unit. Restore the integrity of the wires.
3. Damage to the anti-theft system. Take the car to a service center.

Service mode:

The specialists of the described anti-theft system found a good (in our opinion) and practical solution, which concerns the information indicator. While other systems have several indicators installed, here there is only one light bulb. This applies to both the service mode and the output of immobilizer functions. At the same time, they are easy to distinguish: the indicator will light up in service mode (when the car is disarmed), and when disarmed again, the immobilizer will turn it off. In the main versions, service mode is removed as follows:

• long press on the “z” button;
• short press the “z” button;
• both clicks are one-time and must come immediately after each other.

Alarm keeps going off

Let's look at another malfunction of the Tomahawk TW 9010, when it triggers spontaneously. This happens for the following reasons.

1. Failure of the alarm or some sensors. Contact qualified personnel.
2. Large objects are left inside the car, causing the internal volume sensor to trigger. Clear the interior of extraneous items.
3. Incorrect operation of the limit switches of the hood, doors, and trunk. This is due to oxidation of the wires or breakdown of the sensors.

How to configure autostart on Tomahawk 10.1 alarm systems

This alarm system differs little from the previous series in terms of the setup principle: the procedure for entering the settings menu and further steps for selecting the desired function are similar to the TW-9010. Functions 1 to 5 are absolutely identical. The differences go further:

• function 7 allows you to configure the Tomahawk to work on vehicles with a “Start-Stop” button (options 3 and 4);
• the difference between these options is in the functioning of the black and yellow wire: in option 3, the pulse is sent after several unsuccessful startup attempts, in option 4 - after each. The functioning of this wire is set according to the operating algorithm of the “Start-Stop” button in a particular car;
• function 17 now controls the central locking, and according to a modified algorithm. In option 1, additional central locking control is completely disabled; in option 2, only a locking pulse is given at the end of autostart. In option 3, on the contrary, the locking pulse is given only at the beginning of autostart, and in option 4 - both at the beginning and at the end.

Something else useful for you:
