why is it needed, how to enable or disable

Modern car security systems have a huge number of functions, and understanding them all is not very easy, especially for a novice driver. The main task of any security system is to protect the car from intruders, but in addition, the alarm key fob often allows you to remotely start or turn off the engine, warm up the interior and perform various other actions

Another important option in all modern security systems is the Valet mode, which is often called “service”. In this article we will look at why Valet mode is needed in an alarm system, how to enable and disable it if necessary

What is Valet mode in alarm systems?

Valet mode is a service mode in security systems of various levels. When the alarm switches to Valet mode, the main protective functions are disabled. The use of Valet mode is intended in situations, for example, when the car is in a service center and active security options may interfere with the work of car service specialists.

It is worth noting that in some older security systems, the Valet mode is used not only to remove security measures when leaving a car in a service center or other place without a key fob. Also, previously it was necessary to go into it to make alarm settings.

The Valet button is most often hidden in the cabin from prying eyes, since it can be used by attackers to deactivate the car's security system.

How to activate Valet mode

Valet mode can be activated on modern alarm systems through a push-button switch installed in the cabin, or using the alarm key fob. Let's consider both options.

Using a push button switch

1. You need to get into the car and insert the key into the ignition, then turn the ignition on and off;
2. Next, you will need to wait 10 seconds, then turn the Valet switch to “On” mode. If the cabin has a button to activate the Valet mode, and not a switch, it must be pressed for 2 seconds;
3. In response to the driver’s actions, the security system will emit one beep and the control signal indicator will be activated, which informs that the security system has switched to Valet mode;

auto mechanic

The Tomahawk tz 9020 alarm system is equipped with a separate connector that allows you to connect with autostart. A similar connector is provided in all systems manufactured under the Tomahawk brand and belonging to the “90XX” family. The connector connection diagram depends on the model. Let's look at what this circuit looks like for one signaling device - tz 9020.

Software system setup

The instructions for the Tomahawk model “9020” alarm contain two different tables. The first contains security functions. Now we are interested in another table (second). Its options can be accessed like this:

1. Turn off the ignition;
2. Press the Override service button 6 times;
3. The ignition is turned on;
4. After 6 beeps, press the service button to select the option number.

The desired value is set by pressing the key fob. The time period between steps should not exceed 7 seconds.

Autorun options table

So, the programming mode has been activated. Set up the functions in order:

Shown here is "Table 2" copied from the instructions. It contains options related to autorun.

Function 4 is a delay before starting the starter. Let us list the options provided for the first function. The choice depends on how the “blue” cord is connected:

1. ACC line emulation (default);
2. Duplicate wire "IGN 1" (but not "IGN 2");
3. Duplicating the starter wire;
4. The “blue” cord is the starter wire that engages first.

The car alarm should monitor whether the engine is running. The “gray-black” control cord coming out of the main terminal block is connected to a tachometer or to a pressure lamp. And “option 2” is then configured like this:

1. Use the first option if connected to a lamp. The starter operating period will be 0.8 seconds.
2. Same as option 1, but the period will be 1.2 seconds.
3. Equivalent to option 1, but the period is increased to 2 seconds.
4. Use “Option 4” if you use tachometer control.

Amendment for cars with manual transmission

Option 3, indicated in the third line, allows you to select the type of transmission: “automatic” or “mechanical”.

Having installed the alarm on a car with a manual transmission, the third option is assigned the value 2. Then they try the following:

1. The handbrake is activated when the engine is started;
2. Turn off the ignition with the key (the engine continues to run);
3. All doors are closed;
4. If you engage the security, the engine will stall.

The owner will perform all these actions during operation. The sequence is called "preparing to launch."

Let's say that in “step 2” the engine stops as soon as the ignition is turned off. Then you need to try this: when setting up, set the value to 3 or 4. And in the sequence indicated above, then another step will appear - before “step 2” you will need to press the “Disarm” button. Pressing is carried out in two stages: for a long time, that is, until a sound signal is heard, then briefly. The additional remote control does not produce any signals, but it changes the color of the LED.

Why is the keychain not registered?

When setting up the TW 90 10 remote control yourself, questions may arise. The key fob is not programmed and is not recognized by the alarm. This problem appears not only on domestically produced cars (Prior, Kalina), but also on foreign cars. The issue is not the make of the car, but a problem caused by the setup and use of the security system.

What to do in this case?

1. Open the instructions for your car alarm. Find a detailed guide to programming remotes.
2. If there is none, then try setting up the key fob using the methods discussed earlier.
3. Did not help. Look for other reasons. Some mechanical damage is possible. Examine all components of the security system. Carefully inspect the contacts on the control and primo transmission connectors. Test the electrical circuits with a tester. If you find damaged wires, replace them. Clean oxidized contacts thoroughly.
4. Remotes still not working? Carry out diagnostics on the control unit. Its reflashing is not excluded. This work can only be done by qualified electronics engineers.

The feedback key fobs for the tomahawk 9010 TZ and 9010 TW are identical, the only difference is in the key fob body, the functions are one to one. Therefore, the recording of key fobs in the alarm memory is the same.

Instructions taken from the manufacturer's website

Turn on the ignition but do not start the engine

Press the “Override” button and operate for about 6 seconds; in other alarm systems it is called “Valet”. If you don’t know where it is, the length of the wire with the button is 0.5 meters from the unit, you need to look under the steering wheel or in the fuse box.

the siren will emit 4 chirps and “crack”

Release the Override button and you have a “window” of about 5 seconds for recording the first key fob. Press and hold buttons 1 and 2 on the top of the key fob until you hear the siren “crack” once. This means that you have registered 1 key fob.

To record a second or additional key fob, you again have a window of 5 seconds, press 2 buttons and the siren will grunt 2 times, confirming the recording of the second key fob.

You wait 5-10 seconds, the system itself exits the key fob “recording” programming mode.

What to do if the system emits 4 chirps, but the key fob is not registered

Sometimes the window for recording a key fob in a place of 5 seconds appears for only 0.5 seconds. In this case, after 4 chirps, you need not hesitate, but press 2 key fob buttons at once.

What to do if the system emits 5 chirps

Perhaps the installers screwed up and connected the alarm incorrectly and after pressing the Override button, the alarm system “does not see” the ignition key.

In this case, you need to place a jumper between the red and yellow wires ign 1

And then try to write according to the standard scheme

Several recording schemes when the key fob is drunk after 5 chirps

1 diagram

Turn on the ignition ACC, one turn back

Briefly press Override

Turn on the ignition (do not start the engine). Press the “Override” button and hold it for about 6 seconds, wait for 4 chirps and then continue according to the standard.

2 scheme

Turn on the ignition (do not start the engine) We press and hold 2 buttons on the key fob for recording, with the other hand we press the Override button and wait for 5 chirps. Release Override and the key fob buttons, then press the key fob buttons again. The turn signals should blink to confirm the entry of the key fob.

About connecting the engine control wire

It was said above that the control “gray-black” cable is connected in one of two ways: to the oil pressure lamp, to the tachometer.

Main connector connection diagram

In the first case, everything is clear, although control using the indicator is not reliable. Using the output of the tachometer, you can get acceptable results, but you only need to connect to the high-voltage terminal. With this method of control, “training” is usually carried out to teach the system to recognize idle speed. But for Tomahawk signals, starting from the “9020” family, a similar procedure is not provided.

The instructions do not say that when connecting to the tachometer, it is better to install a capacitor (1 µF and 63 Volts) in the wire gap. Electrolytic capacitors are not suitable here. Happy installation.

User manual

To control the TZ 9020 system, two types of key fobs are used:

• main five-button with display;
• auxiliary four-button.

If it is necessary to purchase new key fobs, the owner should remember the compatibility of the devices.

Remote controls for the following systems can be used for control:

• TZ-7010;
• TZ-9030;
• LR-1010;
• TW-7010;
• TW-9020/9030;
• H1 and H2.

When controlling the complex, three options for manipulating the buttons are used:

• normal pressing of one or two keys;
• double tap within one second;
• pressing and holding for two seconds until a sound signal sounds (on the main key fob) or the color of the control diode changes from red to green (on the additional one).

When you press the buttons, the built-in processor generates and encodes a command that is sent by the transmitter. Each subsequent code is different from the previous one, which makes it somewhat more difficult for code grabbers to intercept and decrypt commands. After execution, the head module of the system generates a response signal, which is received by the key fob with a two-way operating mode. The received information is processed and displayed on the display in the form of icons.

Purpose of key fob buttons

The purpose of the buttons is given in the summary table.

Keychains of the TZ 9020 complex

Arrangement of icons on the screen

Key fob programming

The key fob with two-way communication has the ability to configure:

• hours;
• alarm clock;
• timer.

The setup is done as follows:

1. Press A5 and hold until the hour field starts flashing.
2. Set the value by pressing A3 or A4 (forward and backward, respectively).
3. Press A5 again and set the minutes in the same way.
4. Pressing A5 again will allow you to set the number of alarm hours. Changing the value is done using buttons A3 or A4.
5. Pressing A5 will switch the alarm to minute setting mode.
6. Additional impact on A5 switches the alarm clock into on or off mode (A3 – on, A4 – off).
7. By analogy with an alarm clock, the timer time is programmed.

Recording a key fob in memory

The TZ 9020 head unit is equipped with a memory capable of storing codes for four control panels. During operation, situations may arise when the owner needs to rewrite old key fobs or program new ones.

Sequencing:

1. With the ignition turned on, press the service button seven times in a row.
2. After this, turn off the ignition and receive a notification in the form of seven short siren sounds, which confirms readiness for recording.
3. Press and hold A1 and A2 on each key fob. The recording will be confirmed by beeps; the number corresponds to the remote control number in memory.
4. After programming the last remote control code, pause for six seconds, the system will automatically exit the recording state.

The owner should take into account that when the Tomahawk TZ 9020 encoding starts, the memory is reset and all old key fobs become unusable without re-programming.

The owner can at any time find out the number of remote controls in the device’s memory:

1. Turn on the ignition circuit.
2. Press A3 of any key fob you are using.
3. The status LED will start flashing. The number of flashes corresponds to the number of key fobs.

Controlling the system from the key fob

The main functions of the Tomahawk TZ 9020, which are controlled by signals from the key fob:

1. Security is turned on using button A1. In this case, a single indication is given with a siren and lights. The locks are locked and the diode's flashing mode is activated. Icon 1 is active on the screen. For quiet switching on, use button A4. In this case, the siren does not emit a signal, and icon 2 is active on the screen.
2. The system has a built-in two-stage sensor shutdown function. To do this, you need to first turn on the security, and then press A1 twice within one second. If you press again, the sensor will turn off completely. The screen displays icons 1 or 2, as well as 11 or 12. To turn on the sensor, double-click on A1, while indicators 11 or 12 are deactivated.
3. The security is turned off by pressing A2, the locks are unlocked and a double indication is given with lights and a siren beep. Icon 4 remains active on the screen. If the complex emits a triple signal and the key fob buzzer sounds long, then it was triggered during the security cycle. Pressing the A2 button when an alarm is generated turns off the signaling, and the security mode is maintained.
4. The complex allows you to guard a vehicle with a running engine. To do this, the owner needs to get out of the car and close all the limit switches responsible for protecting the perimeters of the doors and hoods. The key remains in the ignition. After this, you need to press A1, which will cause the lock to lock. Within three seconds, you must press A1 again, after which the car will give a single signal with lamps and a siren. Icons 1, 17 and 18 will turn on the screen. In this mode, the shock sensor does not turn on, which avoids false alarms caused by vehicle vibration when the engine is running. Disabling security is done by pressing A2; icons 4, 17 and 18 will remain on the screen.
5. The owner can activate the automatic arming mode of the system. To do this, press and hold A2, and after the buzzer sounds, press A4. Icon 21 will appear on the display.
6. To start or stop the additional immobilizer, use a long press on A2 and then on A4. After turning on the function, icon 20 is activated on the screen. In this mode, the engine starting circuits are automatically blocked 30 seconds after the voltage supply to the ignition circuit is stopped. To disable the immobilizer, use a short press on A2. If the remote control does not work, the immobilizer is turned off by pressing the service button once with the ignition off.
7. The locks are controlled during movement by pressing A1 and A2 (locking and opening, respectively).
8. Searching for a vehicle is performed by double pressing A3. The machine will respond in the form of a six-time light and sound alarm. At the same time, a radio signal will be sent, which will update information about the vehicle’s condition on the key fob display.
9. Panic, which is used to attract the attention of others in the event of an attempted robbery or other illegal actions against the owner. Starting is done by pressing and holding A1 and A2. The activation of the mode is confirmed by three long beeps, a siren and a triple flash of flashlights. The locks will be locked and the vehicle security will be activated.

Another way to attract the attention of others is the anti-robbery mode. To do this, press the service button once while the engine is running (or press and hold A1 and A2). After opening and closing the door (simulating the car owner being ejected by an intruder), the function is launched. After 30 seconds the alarm sounds, and after another 30 seconds. the engine is blocked.

You can disable anti-robbery by pressing A2 or the settings button (hold for three seconds). Deactivation in this way is possible within the first 30 seconds. At later stages, shutdown is performed by pressing the service button for three seconds and then turning off the ignition. The anti-robbery mode switches to security mode. If a code request is enabled when programming the system, then anti-theft can only be deactivated by entering a secret password.

Additional functions

The owner can program several auxiliary services:

1. Safe driving. This option means automatic locking of the locks after turning on the ignition. The parameter is programmed when setting up the alarm.
2. Re-arming. The function automatically activates security if the complex is turned off, but the car door has not been opened for 30 seconds.
3. A turbo timer that allows the engine to run for some time after the ignition is turned off. To operate the turbo timer on cars with a manual transmission, it is necessary to undergo a program neutral procedure.

Key lock

The Tomahawk TZ 9020 key fob is equipped with a button lock, which is activated by pressing A1 and A5 together; an icon with the text “key lock” lights up on the display. The block is removed by pressing A2 and A5 simultaneously. The button lock is used when carrying the remote control in your pocket and protects the system from transmitting accidental commands.

Emergency management

If the remote control is lost or damaged, the owner can turn the Tomahawk TZ 9020 alarm system on and off in a backup manner.

Step-by-step instructions for emergency arming:

1. Open the car, get behind the wheel and turn on the ignition.
2. Find the service button and click on it three times.
3. Turn off the ignition, receive confirmation of readiness for arming - a single activation of the lights and siren.
4. Close the doors from the outside. 20 seconds after the indication, the security system will be armed.

After turning on the security mode on the Tomahawk TZ 9020, a 20-second alarm delay is activated when any security zone is triggered. The delay allows the owner to deactivate the system without raising an alarm.

Emergency shutdown:

1. Open the door, starting the alarm delay countdown.
2. Turn on the ignition and press the service button three times.
3. Turn off the ignition, the system will give a double light and sound indication and disable the security.
4. Check the ability to start the power unit.

It is possible to disable security and anti-robbery using a code number consisting of two digits located in the interval 1-4. The factory password is 11.

The procedure for disarming and deactivating anti-robbery by entering a code:

1. Unlock the door, then turn on the ignition with the key.
2. Press the service button to enter the first number.
3. Reconnect the ignition.
4. Enter the second number.
5. Turn off the ignition. If the code is correct, security or anti-robbery is turned off. If there is an input error, the procedure is repeated.

Changing the access code

The code number can only be changed if the ability to disable the system with a password is activated. This service is enabled when setting up the head unit.

Sequencing:

1. After deactivating the ignition, press the service button four times.
2. Turn on the ignition and wait for four beeps from the siren.
3. After this, enter the mode of entering the first number into memory by pressing the setting key once.
4. Enter the desired number using the buttons of the key fob registered in the memory. The entered value is confirmed by the corresponding number of siren beeps.
5. Click on the service button and enter the second number in the same way.
6. Pause for a few seconds, the setup mode is completed. The manufacturer recommends writing down the new code value.

Table of correspondence between buttons and code values.

Setting up autorun

To carry out a remote or automatic start, the following conditions must be met:

• turn off the ignition;
• ensure that all limit switches are closed;
• apply the parking brake;
• make sure the setup mode is inactive;
• install neutral on a car with a manual transmission;
• The automatic transmission selector must be in parking mode.

Remote start is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Take the key fob in your hand, press and hold A2. The button is held until a signal is given or the diode changes color to green.
2. Within three seconds, press A3 again (shortly).
3. The doors will lock and the engine will start. The operating time is determined by a separate program.
4. Forced early engine stop is performed according to a similar procedure.

To automatically start the motor with repetitions, you must:

1. Press and hold until the A2 signal sounds, and then briefly A1. No more than three seconds should pass between button presses.
2. After enabling the function, restarts will be performed at intervals of 1/2/4/24 hours (depending on the program).

In the video you can see a visualization of the autorun programming procedure provided by the author Evgeniy Vakshin.

Correction for cars with manual transmission

When using engine starting without placing the driver behind the wheel, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of starting movement. On cars with an automatic transmission, this condition is met by default - by setting the lever to the parking position. Otherwise, the owner will not be able to remove the key from the ignition switch. On vehicles with manual transmission, it is necessary to set the neutral programmatically before each starting procedure.

According to the instructions for use, the Tomahawk TZ 9020 alarm system allows two procedures for activating the neutral:

• safe;
• automatic.

Safe activation algorithm:

1. With the engine running, you need to lift the brake lever until the limit switch is activated.
2. Press and hold A2. The button is held until a signal is given on the main remote control or until the indicator color changes to green on the additional one. After this, the owner has three seconds to briefly press A2 again.
3. Turn the key in the lock to the Off point, the engine should not stall.
4. Take out the key, get out of the car, close the door behind you. After this, the engine should stop and the security system should automatically turn on. Closing windows is done by pressing A1 (subject to active service).

Automatic activation sequence:

1. Raise the brake lever and the engine should be running.
2. Turn off the ignition, the engine will continue to run.
3. Open the door and leave the salon.
4. After locking the door, press A1. The engine will stop, security will be turned on, and the locks and windows will close (if the window closer function is active).

Various scheme options

The power terminal block of the Tomahawk tz 9020 signaling contains 6 contacts. The basic diagram for these is shown below:

Auto start and power connector

The arrows here indicate T-shaped connections. According to the instructions, it is better to connect the “red” wire to the “30th” contact. The pre-flask shown in the diagram is then not installed.

The “blue” cord can be connected not to the “ACC” line, but to the lineman relay, which is what is usually done in practice. Your car alarm can also be configured additionally, and then the specified wire will emulate one of two lines: “IGN 1”, an additional starter line.

In any case, the “yellow” cord is connected to pin “15”. The “black and yellow” wires will go into the gap in the starter cable. The “thin” wire, moreover, is connected to the lock terminal. If the “black and yellow” cables are mixed up, it will be impossible to start the engine even with the key.

Let's say there are two starter lines in the standard wiring. The alarm is then connected like this:

Option with two starter lines

Some cars have a feature - current must be supplied to one of the two lines earlier than to the other. Then you need to “break” the second circuit, and connect to the first “T-shape”. The setting for the considered case is performed as follows: option “1” associated with autostart receives the value 4. If the lines are triggered simultaneously, use the value 3.

The Tomahawk car alarm of the model in question does not allow connection to locks that have two 30 terminals. Or rather, you can connect everything, but then you won’t be able to use autorun.

About installing alarms with auto start

Automatic starting of the car engine is a new option in modern anti-theft systems. Autostart Tomahawk 9020 is activated by pressing buttons on the remote control. This significantly increases the level of operating comfort of the car in the cold season or in the heat. To enter the autorun function programming mode, complete the following steps.

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Press the “Override” service key six times.
3. Activate the ignition. 6 siren signals will follow.

• gearbox type - automatic or manual transmission;
• engine type - gasoline or diesel;
• turbo timer mode;
• car engine warm-up time;
• periodic automatic engine start interval;
• arming during auto start;
• options for side lights;
• closing the doors after warming up.

Autostart functions are programmed using the “Override” key. Be sure to read the instructions before setting up.

System 9020 Contents

Autostart does not work on Tomahawk 9020 alarm system

If you have successfully programmed the autostart, but the engine does not start from the key fob, then check the following.

1. The alarm does not detect the handbrake being applied. Information about its activation is displayed on the remote control when checking the alarm status.
2. The security system does not detect engine operation. Find out how the system is connected. If the motor operation is monitored by voltage, then malfunctions will occur due to a faulty generator or poor connection of the power circuit. If control is carried out using a pressure lamp, then there will be practically no problems. If the alarm is connected to the tachometer, then train the security module to idle speed.
3. Correct operation of the immobilizer crawler.
4. The control unit is faulty.
5. One of the fuses is not working.

Ignition switch contacts

In a simple version, the ignition switch contains three different contacts. They are designated as follows: “30”, “50”, “15”. At the 30th voltage comes from the battery, from the 15th the current goes to the ignition line, well, the 50th terminal is the starter contact. The list can be expanded further. At contact “15/2”, for example, there is no voltage when the starter is running, which distinguishes it from terminal “15”. Foreign cars also have an “ACC” line that supplies accessories.

4 lines switched by lock

To start the engine by autostart, the alarm must “emulate” the lines passing through the contacts of the lock. In many cars, however, it is possible not to connect the “ACC” line, as well as the “second” ignition line.

Some cars have two starter lines. The developers of your car alarm have provided this option. The “blue” cord coming out of the power connector is connected to the second line of the starter. But this connection method requires configuration. This will be discussed in more detail below.

Problems and repairs

If you experience control problems when trying to use a car alarm, it is recommended to check the condition of the battery. A control indicator on the communicator turns on to help determine the battery charge.

Problems with signaling occur when the contacts are dirty or the buttons are damaged; to restore functionality, you will need to carry out repairs or purchase a new key fob.

Damage to the patch cables connecting the components of the complex leads to malfunctions. To detect the break point, you need to check the circuits with a test device. If the electronic components of an alarm system with auto start fail, you must contact a specialized service to identify the faulty unit and replace parts.
