Extra Run inscription
If the Extra Run icon is displayed on the key fob, this means that the turbo timer is working. The option is intended for delayed stop of engines equipped with a turbocharger. This is extremely necessary to increase the service life of the unit. A quick stop after serious spin-up damages the impeller and bearings of the mechanism. The function gives time for important structural elements to cool down.
In order to remove an unnecessary mode, you will need to hold the key until the sound signal sounds. Then quickly click on the button of the crossed out speaker. When everything is done correctly, the car will stall immediately after turning off the ignition.

The hardest part is changing the code
Let's open the instructions and see what is recommended to do to change the value 1-1:
- The ignition must be turned off.
- The service button is pressed 4 times.
- The ignition is turned on, and the siren connected to the alarm emits 4 beeps.
- The OVERRIDE button, that is, the service button, is pressed 1 time.
- The car alarm comes with two key fobs, a main one and an additional one. Using any of them, set the first digit (see figure).
- Wait for the siren to sound.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 to enter the second digit of the code.
Each button corresponds to one of the following values:
Main key fob X5
You can set absolutely any code from 1-1 to 4-4. For example, this one: 2-3.
The sequence given above was copied from the instructions for the Tomahawk X5 signal. It is possible that the algorithm itself is suitable for other alarms, but the numbering of the keys for them may differ
This is important, since entering the code value when the key fob is missing must be done with the OVERRIDE button. Let's say the “lock-trunk” sequence is selected
What numbers does it correspond to? The answer to this question needs to be known exactly.
About the included software options
Setting up tomahawk alarm 434mhz frequency
There are several options that are responsible for autorun. Only one of them requires precise decoding; the rest are described in detail in a special table that the manufacturer attaches to its devices.
- You can control the motor with your own hands depending on the indicators on the tachometer.
- The oil pressure lamp must be connected to the control cord.
- The engine is easily controlled by voltage indicators. Only the gray cord, which is related to connector X3, should remain unconnected.
The connection method determines which settings a particular buyer will choose. Some advise using the first option and say that then there will definitely be no problems with autostart.
Auto Arm Icon
The Auto Arm inscription indicates that the car is set to automatic arming mode. The option insures the driver against accidentally forgetting to set the car alarm. Usually the extension is activated forcibly. The key fob itself cannot send a signal to the computer.
The factory instructions indicate the sequence of actions on what to do when the icon appears on the screen. Usually, to deactivate the mode, it is enough to hold down the key and wait for two flashes of the dimensions. After this the option is disabled.
If the mode is set accidentally, it is recommended to use the key lock on the remote control.
Firmware for Tomahawk X5 key fob
It is often necessary to reprogram the car alarm remote control. This happens when it is not working correctly. How to flash a key fob is described below.
- Do not turn on the ignition. Press the Jack key seven times.
- Insert the key and turn to the first position. The siren will emit seven beeps indicating entry into programming mode.
- On the remote device, press the “Open” and “Close Doors” buttons. The siren will sound once. The binding of the first remote control is completed. You can flash the second, third and fourth key fob using this algorithm.
- Turn off the ignition, thereby exiting the binding mode. The parking lights should blink five times. Device registration is completed.
How to install?
You can install and connect the anti-theft system yourself. Using the diagram specified in the package, you can connect all the elements of the car alarm.
How to install the alarm:
Select a location to install the control module. The central unit must be located in a place inaccessible to an attacker
It is important that it is dry. When choosing a place to install the central unit, keep in mind that exposure to high temperatures and moisture will cause it to break.
Most often, the unit is placed under the center console, behind the glove compartment or dashboard. The latter option is considered optimal, since with such a location an attacker will have to spend more time gaining access to the device. To install, remove the steering column trims. Securely fix the block with self-tapping screws so that it does not vibrate during movement. Open the hood and select a location to mount the siren. This device should be installed with the horn facing sideways or upwards. If it is directed downward, dirt may stick to it, which will subsequently cause the device to not function properly. The siren must be installed as far as possible from the engine. Exposure to high temperatures from the power unit will damage the device. The wires from the siren must be routed through a special technological hole from the engine compartment into the passenger compartment. An antenna adapter with an LED indicator is mounted on the windshield. The antenna must be fixed so that it is at least 5 cm away from the metal parts of the body. If the transceiver is located close to metal, signal transmission will occur with interference. Such a location will reduce the range of the alarm. In some cases, the “signaling” will not respond at all to commands sent by the remote control. Install the shock sensor. It is better to place it in the central part of the body, for example, under the seats or behind the headliner. If several sensitivity controllers are used, it is better to place them around the perimeter of the body. The sensors are fixed with self-tapping screws. The temperature sensor is installed in the engine compartment. The controller crashes into the cooling system pipe. This place is the most optimal. Securely fix the sensor so that it does not come off and go along the system lines. The blocking relay is installed on the ignition switch. When all alarm components are installed, the wires are laid and connected to the central unit. The cables are laid under the car interior lining and thresholds. During installation, make sure that the electrical circuits are not affected by moving mechanisms. Otherwise the wires will be damaged.

Key fob characteristics
Tomahawk car alarms (modern versions, such as the popular x5, tz-9020 or tw-9010, 9030) usually come with two key fobs:
- the main one, with two-way communication, is a key fob with a liquid crystal display, which allows the car owner to receive security alerts and control the security system from a distance; it usually has five buttons;
- additional, with one-way communication - this key fob does not have a display, it has only four buttons and an LED indicator.

Using the key fob of most alarm systems, you can perform the following basic functions:
- arranging/disarming a car;
- closing and opening doors with the engine running;
- opening the trunk lock at a distance, including separately from the doors;
- automatic engine start (including delayed by timer or set temperature)
- immobilizer control;
- searching for a car in a large parking lot;
- turning on siren and anti-robbery modes;
- monitoring all systems of a protected vehicle from a distance (temperature, battery charge, gasoline level, etc.);
- viewing the history of system alerts;
- adjusting the sensitivity level of motion and shock sensors;
- programming of alarm functions;
- remote activation of service mode.
These options are described in detail in the instructions for any key fob.
To configure the car alarm key fob pager, you need to perform a series of sequential actions with buttons located both on the communicator itself and on the main unit. You need to know how to configure the Tomahawk key fob for a specific model of the anti-theft system. As a rule, flashing the remote control consists of the following steps:
- the car opens;
- by pressing the button located on the main unit, enter the service setup mode;
- turn on the ignition;
- the Jack button is pressed and held until a sound signal appears;
- after that, on the remote control itself, click the key marked “close” and hold it until a signal appears;
- then the ignition key is removed.
For these actions to bring a positive result, you will need to wait a while, get out of the car and perform a check. Not all key fob models are flashed in this way. Each anti-theft system has its own instructions, according to which the remote control is configured.
Having performed the correct adaptation, you can gain access to various alarm functions: auto engine start by time, temperature, etc.
Self-programming of the new Tomahawk remote control
Setting up a switch for the Tomahawk family of alarm systems is not particularly difficult. Almost all communicators in this line operate at a radio frequency of 433 MHz. To program the key fobs, turn the ignition to the on position, but the engine does not start.
Keep the OVERRIDE mode button pressed until the security system emits 4 beeps. Then the settings key is released and at the same time press the keys on the key fob marked “trunk opening” and “sound control”. They must be held until the siren sounds.

The service manual presents all the nuances regarding setting up the communicator. Before carrying out the task, you must make sure that the key fob has working batteries installed.
Button meaning
Designation of indicators on the communicator
Description of the keys:
- The button to activate and deactivate the protection mode is made in the form of a closed lock.
- To automatically start the internal combustion engine and control this option, use a key with a key icon.
- To control the trunk door lock, use a button with a trunk open indicator.
- The key with the loudspeaker icon is used to activate or deactivate the silent protection mode.
- Button for setting parameters and activating the backlight with the F icon.
To configure various commands, you may need to press the communicator buttons for a long time or with a short click. Keyboard shortcuts are also used for this purpose. All this information is specified in detail in the Tomahawk TW 9010 operating instructions. The alarm is configured using the main remote control, but an additional one can be used for control.
Setting up the key fob
Before performing the setup, you must bind the communicator to the microprocessor unit. Without this, adjusting parameters and controlling the anti-theft system will be impossible.
How to write a key fob into the memory of Tomahawk TW 9010?
When performing this task, all information about old communicators will be deleted from the microprocessor memory:
- The key is installed in the ignition switch in On mode. There is no need to start the engine.
- The Override service button is pressed until the siren plays four beeps.
- The key is then released.
- At the same time, on the communicator you need to click on the buttons for opening the luggage compartment and silent security. These buttons are pressed until a signal appears. If the main communicator is registered, the siren will sound once, the additional one - twice, the third - four times, etc.
- Then you need to wait six seconds for the alarm to exit the binding mode. During this time, you cannot click on the key fob buttons or touch the key in the lock.
User Danil Andreev spoke about independently linking a new key fob to the Tomahawk 9010 alarm control unit.
How to configure features?
To adjust option parameters, you must use keyboard shortcuts:
- Simultaneously clicking on the first and fifth buttons will activate the energy-saving function.
- The fifth key is designed to activate and deactivate the backlight.
- Clicking on the second and fifth buttons will allow you to change the notification mode for the car owner. In case of any events, the driver will be warned via vibration or sound signals.
- If you hold down the key number 5, this will allow you to activate the clock, timer or alarm setting.
- Pressing the fourth and fifth buttons, depending on the number, will activate the timer for a period of 10 to 120 minutes.
Setting with Override button
Some functions can be adjusted using the Override key:
- The key is inserted into the lock and the ignition is activated.
- The key is clicked six times. This will allow the car owner to enter the parameter programming mode.
- Then the ignition is turned off. If the function is selected, the LED light will blink and the siren will play a sound signal six times.
- Using the key, the option is changed by successive clicks.
- To assign a specific parameter, all the communicator keys are used except the fifth. Each time you click the button, the siren will play a sound.
How to reset?
To reset all parameters to factory defaults, perform the following steps:
- The car owner enters the programming mode in accordance with the described scheme. To do this, press the key 10 times.
- The ignition is turned off. When the siren beeps, the button is clicked once.
- Then the first key of the communicator is pressed.
- The ignition is activated and switched off. If the settings are reset successfully, the alarm light will sound five times.
The Sher Tiger channel talked about resetting the settings of the Tomahawk anti-theft system on your own.
Override button
The Override key is included as standard with the Tomahawk Z5 alarm system and allows you to disable the security functions of the system. This is necessary for carrying out repair work or diagnostics at a service station, emergency shutdown of the complex, etc. Therefore, its location must be hidden from the eyes of an intruder, but known to the owner. If the installers did not specify the location of the button, you should check:
- space inside the glove box;
- space inside the door pockets for small items;
- central tunnel between the two front seats;
- space under the steering column;
- part of the panel near the pedal assembly;
- examine the inside of the front panel, which provides access to the fuse box.
How to reboot
The owner cannot reboot the Tomahawk alarm because the equipment does not support such an algorithm. When the power supply is turned off, the central unit saves the settings in non-volatile memory; when power is restored, the complex returns to its original state. Tomahawk security equipment is not equipped with ports for connecting to a computer; it is impossible to reboot or replace the factory firmware of the central unit at home.

It is allowed to open a car equipped with the 9010 complex using the emergency method using the factory key. After turning on the alarm, the owner gets behind the wheel and activates the ignition support. Then the programming button is pressed 4 times, after which the key is removed from the lock. If the alarm stops and the car gives a double signal with a siren and lamps, then you need to start the engine and move to another parking area. Then the owner tries to turn the protection on and off again using the remote control.
Autorun doesn't work
Some netizens complain that the car does not start from autostart or that the engine warms up by the hour. These are the consequences of a violation of one of the Tomahawk X 5 alarm units or the mode activation technology. The source may also be the vehicle's on-board circuit. Usually, if the required sequence of actions is not included, the problem must be looked for in one of the indicated directions.
- Battery drain. To remotely start a motor, a higher starting current is required than with a standard start. Usually the car makes two or three attempts and does not start, after which it sends a signal to the key fob. You can charge or change the battery.
- Preliminary preparation was not performed correctly. Drivers often forget to put the car on the handbrake or take it out of gear.
- Engine control is not programmed. There is a technical failure within the control unit itself. It can be solved by diagnosing the corresponding element or replacing it.
- Contacts are coming off or terminals are oxidized. A common reason is when the car is parked in a damp box or on the street. To correct the situation, simply clean and crimp all connections.
- Freezing of lubricants inside the crankcase compartments. Thick oil prevents the crankshaft and gearbox drives from turning. It is usually eliminated by setting a shorter relay response interval or increasing the antifreeze temperature at which the mode is activated. How to change the time for automatic heating can be found in the instructions.
- Mechanical damage or exposure to large amounts of water. Consequence of unsuccessful car wash or repair. Solved by drying or replacing damaged parts.
Entering programming mode for remote start functions
To enter the Tomahawk auto-start alarm programming menu, the following algorithm is performed:
- The ignition system in the car is turned on; for this, the key is set to the “ACC” position. The power unit does not start.
- The emergency service mode entry button is pressed six times in a row. If you did not install the anti-theft system yourself, the location of the key should be checked with the installer.
- Then the ignition is turned off by setting the key to “Off” mode.
- Using the button to enter the emergency service mode, you select the line with the required option in accordance with the programming table. Each time you press a key, the system moves to the next function.
- Using the communicator and its buttons, the desired parameter is selected in accordance with the table.
- To exit the settings menu, the user must take no action for ten seconds.

Settings and Features
First of all, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the manual for installing an alarm with or without auto start yourself. Regardless of the model, alarms must be installed according to the same principle.
Identification of buttons and remote control options
How to install?
The installation process of anti-theft equipment briefly looks like this:
First, the on-board network is de-energized; for this purpose, the battery is disconnected. Then a control device is installed - a block; it should be placed in the cabin, behind the dashboard, so that a criminal cannot reach it in the event of a car break-in. Next, the antenna adapter is installed. It is better to place it at the top of the windshield, on the inside, that is, in the cabin
Important - the antenna adapter should not come into contact with metal parts of the body and wiring, otherwise interference may occur when transmitting the signal from the key fob. Then the siren is installed - it must be placed with the horn down in the engine compartment. It is also advisable to limit access to the siren; also keep in mind that its operation can be negatively affected by high temperatures and moisture. If the system is equipped with a temperature sensor, then it is advisable to place this element in the engine compartment, in close proximity to the engine
This way the device will transmit the most accurate data. Limit switches are mounted in the doors, trunk lid and hood. A diode light bulb also needs to be installed in the area of the windshield - its blinking will let potential intruders know that the car is under guard. The impact controller is mounted in the vehicle interior; it is advisable to place it in the central part of the body. The device is fixed using ties or tape. Then all elements are connected to the control module, while the wires are better protected with fuses and also additionally insulated.
Model 9010 functionality
The TZ 9010 car alarm package includes a siren, a control unit, limit switches, an antenna diode indicator, mounting elements, and an instruction manual.

The most common malfunctions and their elimination
The Tomahawk 9010 system may experience errors that prevent it from being used normally.
The reasons that cause problems with this system include:
- broken battery;
- the vehicle is in a radio interference zone;
- lack of conditions for wave transmission;
- wear and tear of the security system itself;
- failure to synchronize the car with the remote control.
The video shows a brief overview of the 9010 model. Courtesy of the channel Alexey Viselovsky.
The battery has failed
This is the most common and easily fixable problem. Perhaps the battery is dead, which can be guessed in advance by the dimmed screen of the remote control. The reason may also be an incorrectly installed battery.
The manufacturer recommends using AAA alkaline batteries to replace the battery.
To resolve the issue, the user needs to remove and reinstall the battery. If this does not solve the problem, then replace it with a new one.
Correct battery replacement in:
- Open the key fob cover.
- Remove the old battery.
- Press the trunk release button.
- Insert a new battery.
- Close the key fob cover.
- Press the trunk release button.
Being in a radio interference zone
Being near cash collectors' vehicles or near airports and shopping centers may cause radio interference - a parameter that interferes with the normal operation of the Tomahawk system.
In this case, try a number of actions:
- bring the key fob as close as possible to the location of the security system sensor;
- click the Override button;
- evacuate the car from the radio interference zone to a distance of 200 meters.
No conditions for wave transmission
During severe frosts, the voltage on the car battery may not be enough to start the car or unlock the doors. In this situation, only solving the problem with a faulty battery will help; it needs to be charged.
Damage to the key fob itself is also possible, which occurs due to frequent involuntary presses, in which case it will need to be repaired.
Wear and tear of the security system
Over time, the security system wears out - mechanical breakdowns of the transmitter receiving antenna appear, as well as wear and tear on the key fob or unit itself. Unfortunately, in this case, the problem can only be resolved by replacing or repairing the devices at a service center. It is not recommended to carry out such repair work yourself.
If you have a spare key fob, connect it to the system:
- Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
- Press the combination of the “trunk open”, “silent security” and “override” buttons. The system will emit 5 beeps.
- Release the pressed buttons.
- Press the “open trunk” and “silent security” buttons again. The turning lights will flash several times. The system will automatically program the new key fob.
Problems synchronizing the remote control with the car
In a situation where the key fob has lost contact with the car and control of the alarm has become impossible, you will have to open the car with the key and use the emergency shutdown function.
Sequence of actions for emergency shutdown:
- Open the car with the key.
- Start the ignition.
- Press the Override button 4 times.
- Turn off the ignition.
These actions will be followed by two sound signals and double flashing of the car lights, indicating an emergency shutdown of the alarm. If this method does not help, then the system is faulty. It is necessary to contact a service center in order to repair the alarm or adjust the settings.
