Find out everything about the Tomahawk TZ-9010.

Setting up and preparing for autorun

To properly arm the vehicle in automatic engine start mode, the plant has provided a certain sequence of actions. Moreover, for each type of machine, the procedure is different, which raises the question of how to set it on a manual or automatic machine for 100% operation of the mechanism.

Factory calibrations are already programmed into the device’s processor. This shows the required heating of the air inside the cabin (start by temperature), the frequency of activation when starting the engine by time (1 hour at stock). Settings can be changed in the programming menu.

Physical training is performed as follows:

• set the gear lever to neutral position;
• raise the handbrake all the way;
• remove the key from the ignition;
• quickly leave the car.

After this, you will need to dial a standard combination from the remote control.

Autostart Tomahawk 9010: button combination, remote engine start from key fob

Most regions of Russia experience severe frosts in winter. In such conditions, after a long period of inactivity, starting the engine is problematic. The automatic start option allows the driver to leave the car in the parking lot and not worry about the need to warm up in the morning. By adjusting the modes, you can achieve the desired starting frequency and heating time of the power plant.

Typically, the module is configured from the assembly line to turn on hourly and operate for 5 minutes. In practice, the conditions are relevant if the temperature in the box or in the parking lot is less than -25 degrees Celsius. In more comfortable conditions, frequent frequency is not needed and the user is given the opportunity to determine the interval and time independently.

The factory instructions indicate how to enable autostart from the key fob when using an automatic transmission or manual transmission.

How to install an alarm?

When installing an alarm, you must follow the following rules:

• all installation work is carried out with the car de-energized (with the wires removed from the battery terminals);
• alarm units must be located discreetly;
• Over button >

The Tomahawk TW-9010 alarm antenna should be located away from the electronic components. The length of the system connecting harnesses should be minimal.

Installation steps

The step-by-step installation procedure is as follows:

1. The electronic alarm unit is located inside the car. Due to its size, the optimal location is the instrument panel.
2. The antenna should be installed at the highest possible height inside the vehicle. It should not touch the body. Typically, users install the antenna along the top edge of the windshield. If the glass has a sun strip, it is not recommended to place the device on it. This is due to the shielding effect of the protective coating.
3. Install the siren in the engine compartment. The installation location must be inaccessible through the holes at the bottom. When using a stand-alone device, ensure clear access to the keyhole. It is recommended to immediately install the siren wiring into the cabin, which will provide protection against oxidation.
4. Circuits with high current values ​​connected to the electronic unit (power supply, control of external lighting or door locks) must be protected by fuse links with the appropriate rating.
5. Install the limit switches of the engine compartment and trunk lids. It is recommended to periodically clean the devices from dirt and lubricate them. This is especially true for wiring that becomes covered with oxides and ceases to provide signal transmission.
6. The shock sensor should be installed inside the car. The sensor is attached to a metal body element using self-tapping screws or tape. Installation on plastic panels is not recommended, as it does not ensure correct operation of the device.
7. After installing the main modules, they should be connected with wiring harnesses. To supply positive power, wires going to the ignition switch are used. As an alternative, it is possible to use a separate conductor going directly to the battery terminal. With this type of installation, an additional 3 Ampere fuse is installed in the conductor. The negative signal is taken from the car body from the standard ground nut. It is not recommended to screw the negative wire with a self-tapping screw, since such a connection does not provide contact. All “signaling” wiring connections into the standard electrical network must be soldered and insulated. In this case, it is prohibited to use acid-based fluxes, as they lead to destruction of the wiring.
8. Connect the power supply to the on-board network after installing all the harnesses and test the operation of the alarm.
9. Configure the shock sensor. To do this, its sensitivity is set to a minimum level and the response threshold is checked by lightly striking the body with the palm of the hand.
10. Configure system parameters using the key fob and service button.

The Tomahawk TW-9010 main unit is shown in a video shot by paladinMgn.

Wiring connection

A detailed description of the wire connections is available in the instruction manual.

When installing Tomahawk TW-9010, the wiring is connected to the connectors of the unit:

• power connector with six remote start pins;
• block with six contacts for connecting the central locking;
• main connector of the electronic unit (18 pins);
• shock sensor block (four pins);
• five-pin antenna connector;
• two connectors for a setting button and an operating mode indicator (two pins each).

Harness connection diagram

When installing the electronic unit on it, you must use a jumper to select the type of gearbox. If the jumper is installed, the system can work with an automatic transmission; if removed, it can work with a manual transmission.

Below are photos of diagrams for connecting the system harnesses to the on-board network.

When connecting the antenna module and the lock drive, the diagrams below must be used.

Remote engine shutdown with Tomahawk TW 9010

If the car starts automatically according to the preliminary settings. The user has the ability to disable the option from the remote control. This is usually necessary for unscheduled trips or when the motorist simply forgot to deactivate the extension in the spring.

The factory instructions for remotely disarming a car imply a simple sequence of actions.

1. Press the lock/key button on the key fob for 2-3 seconds.
2. The car will blink its side lights 4 times.
3. The keychain will make a specific trill.

If everything is done correctly, the car engine will stall and will not be reactivated.

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.

How to set the watch on a key fob

The Tomahawk TW 9010 main remote control (with LCD display) has the ability to set the time. An important option is required in order to correctly program the key fob to start by time. If the clock is not set correctly, the car may start during the day or when it is not required.

To set the time on the pager, there is a section of the factory instructions.

1. After turning on the screen backlight, press the “F” key.
2. After 3-4 seconds the clock display will start blinking.
3. To scroll forward, you need to press the button with a picture of an open cargo compartment. Reducing values ​​is done by holding down the key with the speaker.
4. You can switch to minutes by pressing “F” again.

To exit the menu, you need to leave the key fob alone for 10 seconds. After idle time, the device will automatically switch to the main screen.

Find out where the Override button is on your Tomahawk 9010 alarm system.

Key fob programming

Up to four key fobs can be registered in the Tomahawk 9010 system. When programming new key fobs, the data on the old key fobs will be erased. Therefore, within each programming session, the user will have to register all valid key fobs.

To register a new key fob in the system, you must:

• turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine;
• press and hold the Override button;
• after four siren sounds, release the Override button;
• press and hold buttons No. 1 “Trunk” and No. 2 “Silent security” on the pager until one beep is heard;
• Repeat the last step with the remaining key fobs (after registering the first key fob, one beep will sound, after registering the second - two beeps, after the third - three, after the fourth - four).

New key fobs are registered. 6 seconds after registration is completed, the system will exit the programming mode.

ATTENTION! The interval between registration of key fobs should not exceed 6 s. Otherwise, the alarm will exit the programming mode.

How to warm up Tomahawk 9010 using time, timer

A separate option for setting the warm-up by the clock allows you to set the required interval at which the engine will start on its own. The option is critically needed in cold climates. If the car is parked for a long time, the power plant can cool down greatly, which makes it impossible to promptly leave the parking spot. Some users cannot start for 2-3 hours after spending the night.

Warming up by the hour can be adjusted. The computer contains thresholds for every 1, 2, 4, 12 hours. In this case, the car will perform the procedure daily until the driver forcibly disables the mode. In parallel, on the on-board network, the timer will be updated each time.

You can read about how to set up a timed start in the factory manual. The necessary sequence of actions and the required preparatory work are indicated here.

Setting the start timer

Now you need to figure out how to set a specific time at which the car will work. To do this, you need to hold down several buttons at the same time:

• timer for 10 minutes – hold the mute button and press “F”;
• timer for 20 minutes - hold the mute button and press “F” twice;
• work for 30 minutes - hold down the button with the sound deactivated and press “F” three times;
• work for 1 hour – hold down the sound deactivation button and press “F” four times;
• similarly, to set the timer for 1.5 and 2 hours - hold the mute button and press “F” 5 and 6 times, respectively.

As a rule, when installing an alarm system in the cabin, professionals will do everything for you and you should not worry about the fact that you will need to install any functions yourself. If you don’t understand how to set the heating on the Tomahawk, then ask a specialist at the salon about it. Usually, when installing a “reliable guard” for your iron horse, you are given special instructions that contain commands for connecting a particular function.

Tomahawk 9010: instructions for autostart by temperature

The next option has a similar principle. The only difference is the method of activating the program. The computer in mode focuses on the degrees inside the car. Motorists rarely use the extension due to the mode’s irrelevance. The engine warms up much faster than the cabin, which leads to increased fuel consumption.

Thanks to the module software, you can configure the ignition activation threshold and the number of degrees.

How to set the warm-up according to the engine temperature is indicated in the factory instructions. Here you will find all the necessary information about the procedure.

Setting the sensitivity of the shock sensor

Adjustment is required if the shock sensor is not configured correctly and the alarm reacts to thunderstorms, passing cars, or does not even respond to strong impacts on the car.

We configure the sensor as follows:

• tighten its adjusting screws (to increase sensitivity, turn it clockwise; to decrease it, turn it counterclockwise);
• we lock the car and put it in security mode;
• We try to lightly hit the body.

If the sensitivity is too low or too high, open the car and adjust the sensitivity again using the adjusting screws. Thus, we adapt the alarm to our requirements.

ATTENTION! You can find out where the shock sensor is located from the specialist who installed the alarm on your car.

Tomahawk TW-9010: additional temperature sensor

Initially, the Tomahawk 9010 system activates autostart based on interior temperature, and does not provide for installation on the power plant.

Some buyers move the module under the hood, which is quite effective if the sensor is correctly calibrated. The best location for the unit is the cooling system pipe. The element most accurately reflects the state of the internal combustion engine.

You can also perform the transfer yourself using another procedure:

• cut the cable in the antenna module (usually with a blue stripe);
• put a line from the new sensor into the gap;
• lay the line into the engine compartment;
• attach the sensor to the engine or cooling system elements.

Also, some users connect the sensor to the hood lock sensor limit switch. Both options are equally effective.

How much does a temperature sensor cost?

During operation of the alarm system, damage or failure of the antenna module may occur. The price of a standard sensor is determined by this block. Due to the fact that the sensor is located inside the block and is a single unit with the body panels.

The approximate spread of price tags in different cities of Russia differs. This is due to local characteristics and the complexity of delivery.

The cost of the additional Tomahawk TV 9010 sensor is difficult to present in one table. The final price depends on the design and type of part.

Panic mode

This function is part of the standard firmware of the head module and is intended to provide the main psychological effect when attempting to steal or break into a car. The operating principle is based on the production of light and sound signals when the shock sensor is triggered.

When the sensor warning zone is activated, the machine emits 6 chirps and a similar number of flashes in size. Usually this is enough to deter vandals or petty robbers. The main effect is activated for 25 seconds when the active zone of the sensor is triggered and is accompanied by an alarm. In this case, the corresponding icon is displayed on the display of the main key fob, indicating the cause of the panic.

If the alarm is falsely triggered, the user just needs to press the button on the remote control with the image of a closed lock. Manipulation will turn off the siren, but the security will not be removed.

To prevent false activation, the user must follow the recommendations for the place where the car is parked, where it is not advisable to leave the car:

• roadway with active traffic;
• places where people, pedestrians or children gather;
• areas where large animals (dogs, etc.) can reach the car.

How to check the temperature in the cabin?

You can find out the state of the air inside the car without additional modifications or manipulations. The antenna module transmits basic information about the system, and can be activated by holding down the key with the open trunk lid icon. If everything is done correctly, the car will blink its side lights three times and the key fob display will reflect the current state of the system.

To obtain correct information about the temperature of the internal space of the machine, the factory recommends installing the transmitter in places inaccessible to direct sunlight or hot air flows from the climate control system/heater.

Reset to factory settings

A factory reset can be performed using the built-in button. To do this proceed as follows:

• turn on the ignition;
• Press the Override button 10 times in a row;
• turn off the ignition - the alarm sounds 10 trills;
• press the Override button once - the alarm emits one trill;
• press button “5” (lock);
• turn on the ignition - the side lights flash 5 times.

When resetting the alarm to factory settings, all manipulations must be performed promptly and without delay.

How to view the engine temperature on the Tomahawk 9010 key fob: auto warm-up

Checking the engine temperature on the standard system is impossible due to the lack of a measuring sensor. When trying to see information, the user can only see data about the interior on the screen.

However, such a procedure is possible. This will require preliminary preparation and modification of the standard system.

1. Break the cable of wires to the on-board antenna.
2. Connect the contact from the new sensor to the blue cable.
3. Route the line to the motor.
4. Install the sensor on the cylinder head or cooling system pipe. Be careful when doing this - the sensitive interior can be easily damaged.
5. Press the key on the key fob with a picture of an open hood. The screen will display the current engine temperature.

Also, some users add a secondary element to the engine compartment lid lock limit switch. This method is rarely practiced, due to the increased likelihood of a false alarm.

Important! When installing a motor sensor, it is impossible to see the temperature inside the cabin - the system is not designed to work with two units at the same time.

How to set a timer on Tomahawk TW 9010

The turbo timer in the security system is an important element for turbocharged cars. The design features of the block do not allow it to be stopped instantly after heavy loads. Heated bearings and mechanisms can be damaged, which will lead to the need for unscheduled repairs.

Setting a timer is useful to be able to automatically turn off the engine after the turbine has cooled down. In this case, you can set the delay to 1, 3 or 6 minutes.

The option is turned on by pressing the Override service key 16 times. To activate the key fob mode, a standard sequence of actions is performed.

1. Place the gear lever in neutral position.
2. Raise the handbrake all the way.
3. Turn off the ignition and quickly get out of the car. In this case, the motor should continue to work.
4. Press the arming key (closed lock).

If everything is done correctly, the car will automatically turn off the power unit after the programmed timer ends.

For cars with atmospheric settings, you do not need to activate the add-on.

ATTENTION!

Factory settings for programmable functions are underlined.

Description of programmable functions

1. Time allotted for engine operation after remote start: 5/10/15/20 min.
2. Temperature in the cabin at which automatic engine heating is activated (if the function is activated): -5/-10/-20/-30°C.
3. Starter operating time when remote start function is activated: 800/1200/1800/3000 ms
   The time indicated is the time of the first remote start attempt. If the first startup attempt was unsuccessful, the system will increase the time of each of the next 3 attempts by 200 ms.

   ATTENTION!

   Program the 3000 ms time only if the tachometer wire (gray-black) is connected.

4. Options for controlling motor operation:
   Option 1 - based on the voltage of the vehicle’s on-board network. Option 2 - by oil pressure sensor. Option 3 - by tachometer.

   ATTENTION!

   If you choose the 3rd option for monitoring engine operation, you must carry out the idle speed programming procedure:

5. Turn off all electrical consumers in the vehicle (such as air conditioning, radio, amplifier)

Turn on the ignition and press the button. OVERRIDE 9 times

6. Turn off the ignition. The siren will emit 9 “CHIRPS”, the LED will give 9 flashes

8. After the engine speed reaches 500-1500 per minute and the engine has warmed up sufficiently, proceed to the next step.
9. Press and hold the OVERRIDE button 1 time. If the procedure was successful, the system will issue 1 “CHIRP”, otherwise the system will notify you with 4 “CHIRPs” about the need to repeat the procedure

How to extend or reduce warm-up time on Tomahawk 9010

When using the Tomahawk 9010 security system, the question periodically arises of how to add or change the warm-up time. This is often due to the incompatibility of the factory settings with the actual operating conditions of the vehicle.

The proprietary software supports the ability to increase or decrease parameters. This is done through the service mode.

1. Press the Overide key. The system will produce one short chirp.
2. Setting a 5-minute delay is done by pressing the closed lock on the key fob.
3. For 10 min. you need to press the key on the remote control.
4. A delay of a quarter of an hour is set on the “open trunk” icon.
5. For 20 m you need to press on the crossed out speaker.

After setting the desired position, it is recommended to leave the module alone for 10 seconds. After inactivity, the Tomahawk TW 9010 will automatically return to normal operation.

Software options

As mentioned above, the programming tables for the two signals are the same. The table is, for example, in the operating manual for the following system - Tomahawk tw 9010:

Customizable functions, complete list

There are 7 options responsible for autostart here: 1 to 4, as well as 7, 15 and 16. Let’s decipher the settings of the fourth option:

1. Motor voltage control - the “gray-black” cord from connector X3 remains unconnected;
2. Connecting the control cord to the oil pressure lamp;
3. Engine control using tachometer signals.

The choice of settings option depends on the connection method. There are reviews that say that it is better to use the third option, and then there will be no problems with autostart.

Activation of "software neutral"

It was said above that in cars with a manual transmission, the handbrake limit switch is connected to the signaling system. You also need to configure the type of “box”: cut the gearbox selection loop if you have a manual transmission. After which, the engine will not start automatically if the “neutral” is not activated:

1. Once you have stopped, apply the handbrake;
2. On any of the key fobs, press the “Engine Start” button;
3. Having removed the ignition key, get out of the car;
4. Close all doors.

The instructions say that the interval between steps 2 and 4 should not exceed 30 seconds.

Remote start keys

It’s easy to find reviews where owners recommend leaving the loop when installing an alarm on any car. This will remove the need to use the “neutral”, but will lead to very undesirable consequences.

Starting the engine and tuning features

Even in the absence of key fobs, you can disable or enable daily autostart. The same applies to automatic warm-up. The remaining parameters related to autorun are configured in programming mode (see table). Using key fobs, however, it is easy to enable the hourly engine start:

1. By pressing keys 3-4 this option is activated;
2. The autorun mode is selected according to the table (see below).

Disable the option by pressing the same keys.

Selecting an automatic start option

The system estimates the temperature value in one of two ways:

1. If an external sensor (thermistor) is connected, its readings are taken into account;
2. In the absence of external sensors, the temperature in the cabin is estimated.

When you press the “trunk” button, the display shows one value. And this is the temperature in the cabin. Which is true even if the resistor is connected correctly.

Refinement of the system - installation of a thermistor

The Tomahawk tz 9010 car alarm will begin to perceive the readings of the temperature sensor as soon as the latter is connected correctly:

Adding a thermistor to the circuit

The required sensors are not included with the alarm, but they can be purchased separately. The modification is carried out as follows:

1. Connect the thermistor;
2. Close the hood (the limit switch opens);
3. Temperature-based autostart can be used.

All of the above applies to systems of the “early” family, that is, tw-9010.

As you can see, in order to use an external resistor, you do not need to issue commands from the key fobs. The resistance value will depend on the temperature:

• Room: 10 kOhm;
• -10 C: 42 kOhm;
• -20 C: 68 kOhm.

Reviews were used to build the list. Happy setup!

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.

Restoring the alarm system

When your car stops working remotely, you may find yourself unable to use the car with the alarm on, even if you have a manual key. To avoid a dead clicker, you should always have an extra battery on hand and listen for signs of a weak battery, as this can lead to your car locking up. If replacing the battery does not solve this problem, you may need Tomahawk car alarm repair.

What you will need:

• screwdriver;
• new battery;
• lubricant

Instructions

1. Check the back of the device to determine which battery cover is present. If it cannot be removed without effort, then use a screwdriver to unscrew the bolts. Remove the battery and replace it with a new one.
2. Check how the Tomahawk car alarm key fob works. If it doesn't work, remove the battery. Open the unit with a screwdriver if it has a battery compartment cover.
3. Look at the tiny circuit boards whose connections carry pins. If the metal pattern is unclear and has gray and black areas, it is too dirty to work properly.
4. Soak a cotton swab with lubricant. Wipe the boards gently until the dirt is removed. Let them dry.
5. Replace the battery and close the unit. Most likely, if the reason was contamination, the device will continue to work.
6. Have you followed the steps above and the alarm still doesn't work? This means that the reason is much more complex and can be caused by failures in the system. In this case, it is better to repair Tomahawk car alarms by experienced electronics engineers.

The video shows the Tomahawk car alarm range test:

Tomahawk car alarms have a full range of features that are easy to use. Many models serve as a complete vehicle security system. They are comprehensive alarms that will sound when any irregularities occur. Professional installations are designed using the latest advances and technologies, and the Tomahawk car alarm key fob is manufactured with design and performance in mind. Thanks to the wide selection, you can choose either a budget option or opt for luxury equipment. However, simplified systems do not reduce the safety of your vehicle. On the contrary, you will be able to completely control the situation related to your car.

How to disable autostart on Tomahawk 9010 from key fob

The autostart system is a necessary addition for comfortable vehicle operation. The activation of the mode is programmed in advance. How to remove the car factory at negative degrees or timed installation is described in the instructions. To do this, you must simultaneously press the combination of the key and the open cargo compartment. If the actions are performed correctly, the car will blink its dimensions twice, and the key fob will emit two chirps.

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.

The key fob of this brand is distinguished by a good stable connection with the object, on a flat surface the range reaches 1200 meters, in the city the range is reduced to 100 meters, the signal is broadcast at a frequency of 868 Mhz or 434 Mhz frequency.

Photo of Tomahawk key fob tw-9020, 9030 (main, additional and antenna)

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 car alarm functions;
• remote activation of service mode.

These options are described in detail in the instructions for use for any key fob.

How to disable warm-up on Tomahawk 9010

The Tomahawk 9010 alarm system is equipped with the ability to independently warm up the internal combustion engine over time. Depending on the buyer’s wishes, the required operation intervals and operating duration can be set.

How to remove the car from the hourly warm-up when the timer starts, the factory instructions will answer.

According to the user manual, turning off occurs by pressing the key and the speaker. After deactivation, the car will emit two flashes with its headlights or turn signals, and the key fob will signal with a melodic trill.

How to connect an alarm without auto start

The absence of an automatic engine start function greatly simplifies the installation procedure of the anti-theft system. To connect, the user will need contact elements for the door position as well as the ignition switch.

Preparing the device

To prepare the system, perform the following steps:

1. An additional relay and a safety device are installed in the ignition circuit.
2. A microprocessor alarm control module is installed.
3. The shock controller and transceiver are being installed.
4. Pulses from the ignition switch and door positions are connected to the Tomahawk 9010 control module. The light signaling power lines are connected in parallel to the siren.

Working with ignition

If an ignition system blocking relay is used, then when connecting you need to use the electrical diagram:

Engine starting circuit using a blocking relay

Low current circuits and main connector

The installation of low-current power lines of the Tomahawk 9010 anti-theft system is carried out as follows:

1. The power in the car turns off; to do this, you need to de-energize the battery.
2. The main elements are connected to the microprocessor device. Available in the form of a transceiver with an antenna adapter, an LED, and a sensitivity controller.
3. The contact elements of the hood and door sensors are connected to the main block of the control unit.
4. The electrical circuits of the engine fluid temperature and pressure controller are connected to the instrument cluster. The contacts of the corresponding sensors are used for connection.
5. After the connection is completed, all circuits are checked using the tester.

Tomahawk 9010: autostart does not work, the starter does not turn

The reliable design of the Tomahawk 9010 car alarm sometimes experiences failures caused by internal or external breakdowns. Usually this is due to simple reasons.

1. The battery is worn out. To automatically start the power plant, more energy is required than in normal mode. The problem can be resolved by recharging the battery or replacing it with a new one.
2. Autorun programming is broken. Usually small errors in the calibration procedure or an incorrect activation algorithm cause this. Corrected by carefully following the instructions. In this case, the machine does not set the alarm or refuses to perform the assigned tasks.
3. Mechanical damage to modules. Faulty units cannot transmit pulses.
4. Starter rotation time is too short. Oil freezing may require the unit to operate longer than in summer. To fix this, you can increase the amount of time in service mode.

Tomahawk TW 9010 does not start from the key fob: SP error

The electrical diagram and operating principle of the unit can help you understand why the automatic engine start option does not work. If the start with the key is successful, there is a loss of voltage in the circuit and you should check the main batteries:

1. Battery charge and condition. An empty or worn battery can cause severe voltage drop.
2. It is also recommended to check the power supply of the alarm itself. The fuse on the power core often oxidizes, which causes poor contact.

If the startup from the remote control is not initially programmed, a full system reset to factory settings may help. During prolonged operation of the unit, it is not uncommon for internal operating system errors to appear.

Starts and stalls

Some users complain that the car starts with the key fob and stalls after a minute or less. Usually the malfunction is caused by the low sensitivity of the sensors inside the Tomahawk TW 9010 alarm head unit. In 90% of cases, the problem occurs in winter, when negative temperatures make adjustments to the launch parameters.

To eliminate the malfunction, experienced motorists recommend reinstalling the launch limit controllers on the tachometer. This will help bypass the loss of energy at the starter and the lag in the oil pressure indicator.

You should not completely ignore the breakdown. A minor malfunction may hide a serious problem.

Why is temperature triggering disabled?

Correctly setting the warm-up temperature is an important part of calibrating the entire system. If the sequence of actions is violated, the module may not operate correctly or fail completely. External factors can also cause the defect:

• incorrect setting of the starter cranking time;
• broken sensor settings;
• Incorrect operation or connection of the temperature sensor.

You can fix the problem by fully diagnosing the electrical circuit of the Tomahawk TV 9010 sensor. In case of software failures, an absolute reset of the settings helps.

Why does autostart disappear?

Some users complain that in winter the engine does not start with the anti-theft system. The fact that auto-warming stopped working can be argued by three factors.

1. Battery drain. The lack of starting currents affects the possibility of remote operation of the system. The car starts normally with the key.
2. The frequency of automatic startup of the unit is too infrequent. In severe frosts, the oil in the crankcase freezes quickly. This circumstance prevents the normal operation of the unit.
3. As a consequence of point No. 2, the starter cranking time is too short.

Car alarm turns on the ignition, but does not start

Similar reasons lie behind the fact that the Tomahawk TW 9010 activates the ignition, but does not turn the starter. Usually the problems are purely mechanical in nature:

• the power supply is faulty or worn out;
• the retractor relay or other starter components do not operate;
• The contact on the wire connection has oxidized or the fuses are damaged.

There is also a software failure. In this case, just reset the settings and everything will return to normal.

The warning light went off while warming up

When actively using the Tomahawk TW 9010, it happens that the unit begins to glitch or act up for no apparent reason. Motorists identify three problems from the general stream.

1. When trying to start, the starter turns too little and the car does not start. Extending autostart in service mode completely eliminates the problem.
2. During normal starting, the car quickly stalls and does not have time to warm up properly. There is an abnormal change in temperature at which the relay turns off.
3. The opposite situation occurs when “braking” occurs in severe frosts. It is enough to increase the activation temperature of the switch (for example, from -30 to -15) and everything falls into place.

After resetting the settings, autostart stopped working

If the device malfunctions after updating it or resetting the settings to the factory state, you must carefully study the instructions. Without knowing the car model and how to connect the security system, it is impossible to accurately answer the question. However, the reasons that the power plant does not start in 70% of cases are the following factors:

• it is required to hammer in new calibrations for Tomahawk TW 9010;
• The starter cranking time is insufficient;
• the system needs firmware updating of equipment powered from an additional channel (gasoline pump, etc.).

In some cases, programming autostart using the tachometer helps. If in winter the limit switch is connected to the oil pressure sensor, the installation may also not work correctly.

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.

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.

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.

ATTENTION! Automatic engine heating at a given temperature can be performed no more than six times within two hours

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.

How to make a switch key?

The Tomahawk TW 9010 factory kit contains only two key fobs with a built-in antenna. There is no space for a key on the case. This circumstance does not suit some users, which forces them to redo the pager themselves. The upgrade procedure looks like this.

Buy a new transmitter housing with a turnkey socket. Disassemble the old case, using extreme caution - thin latches may break off or damage the internal circuitry of the module. Assemble the internal components of the signaling system onto the new housing in the reverse order. Disassemble the handle of the standard key and transfer the core to the mount in the new key fob.

After installing the battery, the remote control can be used as usual.

This procedure requires care and precision. It is easy to damage the sensitive elements of the module. This provokes some motorists to buy ready-made key fobs with a key mount and simply rewrite them into the system.

Monitoring engine operation via generator

In most configurations of Tomahawk security systems, there is the ability to control the start of the start using the generator operation sensor. The principle of the method is based on the fact that when the power plant is started, a voltage drop occurs. When the internal combustion engine is fully started, the generator begins to generate electricity and the circuit indicators are equalized. At the same time, the automation is activated and the starter is de-energized.

The technique is one of the most reliable and simple to implement. The standard sensor cuts in parallel into the on-board circuit line and reads its condition.

Possible faults

If autostart on the Tomahawk becomes impossible, you should consider possible malfunctions or take into account incorrect key fob settings. Sometimes the system simply malfunctions or does not respond to clicks at all.

The car stops starting, the ignition indicator does not light up, and the light signal from the headlights does not appear. Sometimes another problem occurs: the key fob is fully operational, but the engine does not autostart. There are also situations when, when the function starts, the ignition is turned on followed by a click, but without starting the power unit.

If autorun does not work, it may be due to the following problems:

• Problems with the ignition wiring.
• Start blocking with standard immobilizer.
• No power supply from fuse.
• Damage to the temperature sensor that provides automatic start.
• Incorrect installation of the system or incorrect configuration of functions.
• Problems in the control unit, when the tracks burn out during power surges.
• The sensor jumps out of the housing. A similar problem occurs when installation rules are not followed. If parts are not securely fastened, they will become deformed with intensive use.

If you are planning to purchase an expensive alarm system, you need to make sure that you can set it up yourself. Otherwise, failures and malfunctions may occur during system operation.

Possible problems and their solutions

Frequency modulation is used to encode control signals for the Tomahawk 9010 complex. The transmission of signals is affected by electromagnetic interference from transformer stations or relay installations. If it is impossible to control the remote control, an emergency shutdown or arming is performed. The instructions for use recommend re-entering the remote control codes into the complex’s memory.

When the battery is low, a warning icon appears on the screen. After removing the old battery and installing a new source, it is recommended to briefly press the key marked with the silhouette of a car. The procedure allows you to discharge and charge the capacitors of the signal transmitter.

If “floating” defects appear, it is recommended to inspect the blocks and connecting cables. If insulation breaks are detected, it is necessary to replace sections of the wiring or protect the metal conductors with insulating tape. If damaged electronic elements are found, it is necessary to replace parts or install a new unit. Since production of equipment has been discontinued, purchasing new components is difficult. In this case, it is necessary to install a new security system on the car.

How to start and turn off a car using a key fob (main and additional)

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

The TZ-9010 version is the basic modification for Tomahawk.

Basic actions available using the Tomahawk TZ-9010 car alarm:

• remote starting of the car engine by programming the switching functions for a certain time. This is especially important in the winter, when it is necessary to warm up the car in advance before traveling;
• start of self-diagnosis of systems;
• calling the owner of the car if the system sensors are triggered.

To remotely start the car engine from the Tomahawk TZ-9010 key fob, you need to press button 2 (see figure).

The success of this action is confirmed by:

• the vehicle's side headlights should blink three times;
• The siren should “respond” three times with a sound alert;
• The key fob display will show the corresponding identification about starting/not starting the engine.

After the car engine starts, it can work for the time interval programmed by the system, then automatically turn off.

The engine operating time can be extended by five minutes by simultaneously pressing keys “1” and “2”.

To start a car engine remotely, the following conditions must be met:

• ignition switched off;
• hood closed;
• Gearbox in neutral position;
• The car is on the handbrake.

Warm up every day

The Tomahawk autorun function is installed and configured by the user forcibly. To do this, you need to enter the programming menu, where you select the appropriate item. If there is a need for more frequent warm-up (in severe frosts, so that the engine does not have time to freeze), after activating the function, enter the corresponding combination on the key fob and select an interval of 1, 2, 4 or 12 hours.

Note! The presence of gaps and their duration may vary in different models.

Next, you need to figure out how to make the engine start on its own:

• perform pre-launch preparations;
• On the key fob, simultaneously hold down the key and the crossed out speaker.

If everything is done correctly, the dial will appear on the remote control display and a characteristic signal will sound – the command has been accepted. After which, the car will start on its own at the specified time every day.
