Description of the Tomahawk keychain
Regardless of configuration and modification, the Tomahawk alarm system is supplied to the market with two remote controls.
The first is the main element and is equipped with a full set of controls. There are usually five keys and a liquid crystal display. The screen displays basic information about the system status in real time. Additionally, there is a set of auxiliary options:
- timer;
- alarm;
- current time;
- driver notification in vibration mode;
- backlight (depending on model).
The second module is designed as a spare element and is used primarily in emergency situations. There is no display or key to enter service mode. The indication is made in the form of a light diode. The backlight operates in two modes: red and green. The first indicates a malfunction in the functioning of the complex or an alarm. The second indicates normal operation of the device.
Functionality of the remote control key fob for different versions of the system
The basic modification of the Tomahawk alarm system is the TZ-9010 version. The keychain allows you to:
- start the engine remotely or using pre-programming for a certain time, which is very useful in winter for warming up;
- run system self-diagnosis;
- call the driver when the system sensors are triggered.
To protect against intelligent hacking of signals, the tomahawk “TZ-9010” key fob is equipped with an anti-scanner and an anti-grabber.
In the “TZ-9020” alarm version, the remote control additionally controls the two-level system power sensor and provides remote autostart in the presence of a built-in immobilizer.
The next modification of the Tomahawk TZ-9030 is intended to increase the radius of remote operation of the key fob to 1.2 kilometers.
The Tomahawk Z3 remote control has additional capabilities for remotely opening the trunk door and blocking the engine.
The “TW-7000” modification key fob can search for a car by turning on a special mode and activate the state of protection against robberies.

Warming up at a given temperature
The tomahawk system includes an under-hood temperature sensor that is used to activate automatic warm-up. Activation of the engine warm-up function based on the temperature value is performed by simultaneously pressing buttons 2 and 3 of the key fob.
When the function is turned on, the headlights will blink and the siren will emit a sound signal, the corresponding icon and the temperature of the automation will be displayed on the remote control display. Auto heating is turned off by pressing the same buttons on the remote control again.
The deactivation of the function is confirmed by double flashing of the headlights and double beeping of the siren, and a melody will play on the pager and the auto warm-up icon will disappear.
How to use a Tomahawk keychain
The manual for using the Tomahawk security system contains information on how to properly use the alarm remote control.
After turning on the pager, control is carried out as follows. To arm the car, you must enter the appropriate key combination. Deprotection is performed in the same way.
Owner reviews
Motorists' opinions about the product. Miroslav.
Tell me how to increase or change the warm-up time? In winter the car does not want to warm up properly and after 2-3 repetitions it does not start at all. Where is this mode located?
Novel.
If the autostart without a key does not work in cold weather, only the complete instructions for the Tomahawk 9010 alarm system with autostart will help you understand where the dog is buried. I suffered with the alarm for more than two days, I could not understand what was wrong. It turns out that if you set the warm-up time every hour, the car simply does not have time to freeze (before this it stood for 2 hours).
Andrey.
I recently figured out how to set the start at a temperature of minus 20. I received the alarm already included with the car, and there were no instructions. Now we are sitting and redoing what the installers installed here.
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.
- The F key is designed to enter the key fob settings and calibrate alarm options.
- Crossed out speaker – control of the sound of the security module.
- An element with a pattern of an open trunk is responsible for the position of the cargo compartment lid and hood.
- The key is a button for calling the security function and activating the anti-theft system.
- 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.
- Standard protection. The mode provides for normal vehicle security with all sirens and lights turned on.
- Setting in silent mode means turning off the sirens. Information about a break-in attempt is transmitted only to the driver's key fob.
- 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.
- Immobilizer - turns on automatically 30 seconds after closing the car. In this case, it is impossible to start the engine with a regular key.
Find out how to identify a Tomahawk alarm using your key fob.
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.
If everything is done correctly, the engine will continue to run for 30 seconds in parallel with the lights flashing. After the timer expires, the engine will be locked. Shutting off the engine compartment on older cars is done by shutting off the fuel line and applying voltage to the spark plugs. For modern foreign cars, blocking is performed at the level of electronic control systems (ECM). Thus, it will be impossible to restart the power unit.
Basic rules and conditions for installing an alarm system
Nuances to consider when installing yourself:
- Installation steps are carried out with the on-board power supply turned off; to do this, the battery terminals must first be disconnected;
- anti-theft system modules must be installed secretly so that the criminal does not find them during a break-in;
- the Override button is installed in a hidden place, but the driver must have access to it from his seat;
- the installation of blocks and modules must be thought out so that these devices are not exposed to high temperatures and humidity;
- installation of the system and its connection must be carried out in accordance with the diagram included in the package;
- The main microprocessor module should be placed away from sources of interference - electronic devices and instruments.
The antenna unit should be installed away from electronics and metal objects to prevent interference.
How to reset the key fob
Rebooting Tomahawk remotes is required in case of software failures or errors when the device does not respond correctly to user requests or head module impulses. To reboot, simply remove the battery from the pager and wait 15 seconds. Then return the battery to its place.
After switching on and off, the transmitter will be completely updated and any existing errors will be reset.
Emergency activation and deactivation of the alarm system
If the car does not respond to the key fob, you can use the emergency activation and alarm disabling function.
Emergency alarm activation
To activate an emergency alarm, you must:
- turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine;
- press the Override button eight times;
- turn off the ignition.
The car will react with a single flash of the parking lights and a single sound of the siren. After 20 seconds, the system will automatically turn on the security mode.
If, 20 seconds after the emergency activation of the alarm, any of the security zones are triggered, the car will notify the user of this by flashing the parking lights four times and sounding the siren four times. After this, the user will have 20 seconds to disarm it. If this is not done, the system will activate the alarm mode.

Adding remote controls to the system
Binding of new Tomahawk key fobs is carried out individually on each alarm model. However, the principle of operation is similar:
- turn off the engine;
- enter the Override service mode;
- select the required section;
- enter a specific combination on the remote control being linked;
- confirm the action.
All complexes have the ability to connect at least one additional pager.
Sensitivity Setting
The standard shock sensor is a separate unit connected to the main unit. The two-level system is attached inside the machine using screws or glue.
Important! The accuracy of the sensor operation depends on the reliability of installation.
The device is calibrated to avoid false alarms. Some users “crank” the regulators so that the alarm starts to “squeal” even when a pigeon lands on the roof of the car.
Adjusting the sensitivity of the system is not difficult. To do this you will need to follow a simple sequence of steps.
- Attach the block to the body panel.
- Completely coarse the sensor - rotate the regulator counterclockwise until it stops (-).
- Smoothly tighten the screws (+) while simultaneously tapping the outside of the machine in different places.
- When the required result is achieved, calibration must be stopped immediately.
Malfunctions of Tomahawk car alarms with auto start
Among the most common breakdowns, users identify:
- key fob failure;
- malfunction of internal modules;
- no signal from the antenna.
As a rule, malfunctions are caused by mechanical damage, water ingress, or lack of the required voltage inside the on-board circuit. Depending on the type of damage, repairs are carried out:
- wet parts are dried;
- blocks with mechanical failures are replaced with known good ones;
- recharging or installing a new battery.
Ignition switch wire designations
Look at the diagram shown in the figure.
The above does not mean that both cords can be connected together and connected using the circuits discussed here. The diagrams indicate one wire (ST1) that makes up the starter power circuit. This option is suitable:
- For all domestic cars without exception;
- For new foreign cars;
- For foreign cars up to 90-91 years of manufacture.
This is the paradox - the “ST2” cord is not provided in the new, as well as in the oldest models.
Diagram for TZ-9030
Here's how to connect the Tomahawk TZ-9030 main unit to the ignition switch to use autostart. Of course, after installation, you need to do programming, which is discussed below. If the use of a lineman is required, connect it to the terminal of the main alarm connector (black and red cord). The power connector, in turn, has the following wiring.
If we talk about the Tomahawk TW-9010 model, the purpose of the IGN3 pin will be different from what is being considered here.
In "Chapter 1" the designations were listed: IGN1, IGN2, ACC, starter wire (ST). The “IGN3” cord has been added here, but it replaces the ACC wire. The “blue” cord coming out of the alarm terminal block must be connected to the ACC contact, otherwise the autostart will not work. At the same time, if you make changes to the settings, the IGN3 pin can be connected to the ST2 pin. True, it is not clear how to “emulate” the ACC wire then.
A “T” connection is used when connecting to all wires except the starter. And the “ST” cord needs to be cut to connect the resulting ends with the black and yellow wires. The cable that goes to the alarm from the lock is a signal cable (thin).
Diagram for TW-9010
A non-standard method of switching starter current is typical for the following alarm model: Tomahawk TW-9010. Voltage is supplied here from the 6-pin power terminal block when autostart is performed. The rest of the time, the starter wire conducts current, even if the car alarm does not work or does not work correctly. A blocking relay is included in the gap in the standard wiring. Whether it can be removed from the scheme is unknown. It is better, therefore, to stick to the recommended option.
The conclusion follows from the previous paragraph: autostart is needed - do not remove the blocking relay from the circuit. You can install a “bug” in the socket, but then the appearance of a “current loop” cannot be ruled out. It turns out that the blocking option is “loaded” with autostart.
Note that the Tomahawk TW-9010 and TZ-9030 alarms can control the immobilizer bypass. The lineman’s “negative” cord is connected to the black-red cable (figure at the beginning of the chapter). The latter is designed to be connected to the “IGN3” pin, but in most cars this option is not used.
The ground potential on the black-red cord appears before the starter starts, which is exactly what is required for the lineman to work. In general, everything looks strange: in alarms with auto-start, they often provide a separate output intended only for connecting a lineman.
Reset to factory settings
The user manual contains a complete description of the procedure for resetting the Tomahawk TZ 9010 alarm. The answer to the question of how to reset the settings is hidden in the booklet supplied in the kit.
The procedure involves a complete rollback of the modules, and all possible failures will be eliminated. You will also need to re-enter all remote controls.
- With the ignition on, click the OERRIDE button 10 times in a row.
- Remove the key from the lock - the control unit will display the corresponding number of teals.
- Then, by analogy, click once on the above button.
- Using the key fob, activate and deactivate the alarm from the remote control.
- Ignition on/off
After completing the procedure, the system will be completely reset - errors will be eliminated.
General recommendations
As has been demonstrated, keyless disabling on the Tomahawk is too primitive and is not considered to meet the requirements for burglary resistance of security systems. Therefore, it is worth additionally protecting yourself:
- Do not use the “traditional” installation locations for the Override button - under the instrument panel, behind the interior fuse box hatch.
- Replace the standard button with another one - for example, with a fake toggle switch for turning on the fog lights. The wiring should not give itself away, openly going to the central alarm unit.
The ideal option is to install an additional immobilizer with a wearable tag as the main barrier to protect the car. In this case, an obviously cheap alarm will be more of a “distraction”, while the presence of an immobilizer will not give itself away. Think about mechanical anti-theft devices, not forgetting that they also differ in effectiveness - this is written about in the corresponding article. However, in total it will cost the same as purchasing a higher-class alarm system.
Therefore, it is worth thinking about cheaper ways to protect the car if financial issues become the main reason for purchasing a budget alarm system - install a “secret” toggle switch for blocking important engine circuits, repin the OBD connector to make it more difficult to disable the car’s standard immobilizer, and so on. Taken together, these simple measures can already protect the car, especially since there is no point for a thief to bother with inexpensive cars for a long time; you can try to steal one of the many of the same type.
We use the PIN code
At the factory, the Pin code is set to 11. Disabling using a secret password is done as follows.
- Open the driver's door with the key. The siren will sound and the lights will turn on.
- Turn on the vehicle ignition.
- Enter the first value of the service password. The number of presses on the “Valet” key must correspond to the first digit of the PIN.
- Turn off the ignition and turn it back on immediately.
- Using the same procedure, enter the second digit of the secret code.
- Turn off the ignition.
- If all actions are completed correctly, the siren will sound and the lights will blink. The car's security will be disabled.
The factory password can be reset and a new one assigned. Follow these steps:
- Turn off the ignition.
- Click the Jack key four times.
- Turn on the ignition. The siren speaker will sound four beeps.
- Press "Valet" once. You have entered the new password programming menu.
- To enter the code, use the keys on the key fob. Button “Closed lock” - 1, “Open lock” - 2, “Trunk open” - 3, “Crossed-out mouthpiece” - 4. The manufacturer provides for the use of numbers for the secret code only from 1 to 4.
- Press the Jack key once. You have entered the second PIN value programming menu.
- Using the remote control, enter the second character of the secret code.
