Automotive turbo timers are installed on cars to extend the life of the turbines. The device is designed to protect the turbocharged engine and prevent premature wear and damage due to thermal effects. After turning off the ignition, the turbo timer ensures that the engine runs at idle speed until the temperature of the turbine unit drops to the minimum safe.
Instructions
Step 1
Turbo timers can function as a separate independent device, and can also be part of a car alarm. It is controlled by a two-way key fob-pager with a programmable channel control button (usually designated CH2) on the key fob, which is used to disable the function. Click on CH2 and make sure that the key fob is connected to the car - a beep should sound, and an antenna icon should appear on the two-way key fob. Then press CH2 again, the turbo timer will turn off.
Step 2
An emergency interruption of the turbo timer operation using a key fob transmitter can be carried out at any time. To do this, remove the key from the ignition of the car and within one second press the CH2 button of the key fob-transmitter twice. The system should react to receiving the “shutdown” command with two short beeps and one short light signal. Then the turbo timer channel will be reset.
Step 3
On older alarm models (2000-2005 for Sheriff, Starline, for example), reset is done by pressing the "start" button twice, which has an image of a key on the key fob.
Step 4
In order to turn off the turbo timer completely, carefully read the instructions for your car alarm. Find the “Programming” section and, following the instructions, reprogram the key fob using the channel buttons. The fact that the function is disabled will be signaled by the "Hourglass" icon on the key fob. This operation is different for each alarm model. Experts advise against programming the system yourself.
Step 5
For those motorists who have a turbo timer installed separately from the alarm, just turn off its relay and close the system.
