In accordance with the Tomahawk TZ-9010 operating instructions, the system can operate in several modes:

1. Anxiety. When the protective mode is turned on, if the security zone of the sensitivity sensor is activated, the turning lights of the car will blink six times, and the siren speaker will emit three beeps. The remote control will play one melodic signal. When the main zone of the sensitivity sensor is triggered, which usually happens when there is a strong impact on the body, the siren will sound, which will automatically turn off after 25 seconds. The key fob will sound an alarm. If other zones turn on, the siren is activated for 30 seconds. An icon in the shape of a car will light up on the screen of the main key fob, indicating the zone that was triggered.
2. Panic, which allows you to activate the siren to scare away potential criminals. The mode is activated by pressing buttons on the pager in the form of a closed and open lock, as well as an open tailgate. The function can be activated when the engine is turned off. As a result of activation, the car’s turning lights should blink 3 times, the siren will emit 3 beeps. Thus, the car alarm draws attention to the car and scares away potential criminals.
3. Anti-hijack mode, launched using a button or using a key fob. To activate, you must simultaneously click the same keys that are pressed to enable the Panic option. The function can be implemented when the ignition is running. The warning light will blink for the next thirty seconds. After this time, the alarm mode will be activated, at which point the engine starter will be blocked. An icon in the form of a crossed-out gun will light up on the display of the main key fob, and one alarm will sound. To deactivate the function, click the button in the form of an open and closed lock. This mode can be activated using the Anti-hijack button. Press this key, the car engine should be started. To turn off, the button must be pressed and held for five seconds.
4. To activate the Valet mode, you must simultaneously hold down the keys in the form of an open trunk lock, a crossed out loudspeaker, and a key. The car's hazard warning light should blink four times, and the siren will emit the same number of signals. After which the Valet mode is activated. This will be indicated by the appearance of an icon in the form of two letters Z on the device display. The remote control will emit a melodic signal. Triggering the mode allows you to control only service options. To turn it off, press the same buttons that were pressed to activate it.
5. Immobilizer. The mode is activated automatically thirty seconds after the driver turns off the ignition. The diode lamp will burn without interruption. If the immobilizer is activated, it will be impossible to start the engine with the key. To disable the mode, you need to click on the activation and deactivation key, made in the form of a closed and open lock. It is also possible to turn off the ignition by pressing the Override or Valet button once.
6. Turbo timer mode. This function is provided by the manufacturer specifically for cars equipped with turbocharged engines. When the mode is activated, the engine will continue to run for a certain time after the ignition is turned off. The time interval is determined by the car owner; it can be one, three or six minutes.

Operating modes of the diode indicator

You can track the state of the anti-theft system using the LED light:

• if the indicator lights up continuously, this indicates that the remote start and engine immobilizer mode is activated;
• if the indicator is not lit, then the security mode is deactivated;
• one light flash indicates activation of the protective mode;
• two flashes of the indicator indicate that the daily start option is enabled;
• the activation of the automatic heating function of the power unit at the specified temperature can be indicated by three flashes;
• four flashes indicate the operation of the daily remote engine start function;
• Five blinks of the indicator indicate that the Valet mode is activated.

The AutoAzart channel gave a short overview of the Tomahawk 9010 system in its video.

Remote engine start

To activate this function, you need to press the key-shaped key on the control key fob. The car's turning lights should blink three times, and the siren speaker will emit the same number of beeps.

On the pager screen you can see one of three indicators:

• the inscription SE indicates an attempt to start the engine;
• the SP indicator indicates an unsuccessful attempt to start the power unit;
• If an indicator appears in the form of a car with smoke from the muffler, then the car’s engine has been successfully started, and the control key fob will emit one melodic signal.

In autostart mode, the car’s engine will function for a certain time, which is pre-configured by the car owner. After this, the unit automatically switches off.

To increase the warm-up time by five minutes, you can press the key and lock/lock buttons at the same time. When pressed, the screen of the remote control will display the time remaining until the engine stops.

In what cases will remote engine starting be impossible:

• if the hood is open;
• when the ignition is activated;
• if the parking brake of the car is turned off;
• when the Valet service mode is activated;
• if the car is equipped with a manual transmission, but the remote start preparation procedure has not been performed.

To remotely stop the unit, you need to press a key in the form of a key. The car's turning lights will blink four times, and the siren will sound the same number of times. The pager should emit a melodic signal confirming that the internal combustion engine is turned off.

User Arman Ormanuly told how to solve the problem with the automatic start of the Tomahawk 9010 alarm system.

Autostart for cars with manual transmission

How to prepare a car with a manual transmission for remote start of the internal combustion engine:

1. Place the gear shift lever in neutral.
2. Pull the parking brake lever, the car engine should be started.
3. On the remote control, press the key-shaped button. An indicator in the form of a car with smoke from the exhaust pipe should appear on the screen of the main remote control. The key fob will also emit one melodic signal.
4. The next two steps must be completed within thirty seconds. The key is removed from the lock. If the previous steps were performed correctly, the motor will continue to function.
5. Leave the car and close the door.

Starting the internal combustion engine based on temperature

To start the engine at a given temperature, keys in the form of a key and an open trunk are pressed. The light alarm should blink once, and the siren will sound the same number of times. An indicator in the form of a fan will appear on the screen of the main remote control, as well as the temperature at which the motor will start. The key fob will play a melodic signal. Disabling the function is done by pressing the same buttons.

To reduce the start temperature, use the following buttons:

• a key in the form of a closed and open lock programs the engine to start at a temperature of -5 degrees;
• pressing the key-shaped button reduces the temperature threshold to -10 degrees;
• one press of the button in the form of an open trunk reduces the engine starting temperature to -20 degrees;
• If you press the button in the form of a crossed out loudspeaker, the engine will start at a temperature of -30 degrees.

According to reviews, on some machines the temperature-based autostart function of the internal combustion engine may not work, but this is usually due to errors made during the connection.

You can learn about the implementation of the automatic start procedure using a timer from a video filmed by user Ivan Vasilyevich.

How to install?

Installation of the “signaling” in a garage is done as follows:

1. The control module is installed inside the car. It is necessary to choose the most hidden location for installation. Some installers place the module under the dash near the hood release lever. But a more reliable place is behind the glove compartment or control panel, if there is free space there. For installation, you will need to dismantle the dashboard and remove part of the interior trim. The central module must be securely fixed using self-tapping screws so that it does not vibrate while driving.
2. The signal transceiver must be installed as high as possible in the car interior, for example, near the windshield. This way the transmission of impulses will be most effective. There should be no metal objects or wire harnesses near the antenna.
3. The siren with speaker is installed in a hidden place under the hood. If a stand-alone device is used, it is necessary to provide access to the hole for installing the service key in advance. The siren must be installed so that its horn is directed downward, this will eliminate the possibility of moisture ingress. At the same stage, you should think about how the wires will be connected. It is advisable to choose the location for their connection in the cabin to prevent possible oxidation of the contacts in the future.
4. The luggage compartment and hood limit switches are installed so that they are not exposed to moisture. When the trunk and hood are locked, an attacker should not have access to the limit switches.
5. The shock controller is installed inside the car. It is best to place it in the central part of the body so that the sensor records the physical impact on the car from all sides. The device is secured using self-tapping screws or glue. You can install the sensor in the partition separating the passenger compartment and the engine compartment.
6. If you plan to use the option of remote start of the internal combustion engine, then you need to install a temperature controller in advance. The device is installed in the cooling system line. The controller must be placed away from the intake manifold.
7. All high-current wires intended for connecting the emergency signal, power supply, central locking and other elements should be protected using safety devices.

4. Connection diagram of the contacts of the sensitivity controller and the Valet key

Connecting the plug

To enable the remote engine start option, you must correctly connect the six-pin plug:

1. The yellow-black contact must be connected to the starter device. The 12 Volt output pulse is connected to the solenoid relay. The contact should be connected to an electrical circuit in which voltage appears when the key is turned to the starter position. This output is considered the main one, since it ensures the start of the power unit. The contact is connected in the area after the motor blocking relay.
2. The blue output is for activating auxiliary equipment. It must be connected to the lock contact, where there is voltage when the ACC mode is activated.
3. The thinner red contact represents the “signaling” power supply circuit. It must be directly connected to the battery, the circuit is protected by a 10 Amp fuse.
4. The thick red output represents the remote start circuit. It connects directly to the battery through a 30 Amp fuse device.
5. The yellow contact is intended for connection to the ignition switch. It must be connected to an electrical circuit where there is twelve-volt voltage when the key is turned to the ignition on position. In this case, no current should be lost in this section of the wiring when the key is switched to starter mode.
6. The green contact is connected to a similar section of the circuit as the output described above.

Key fob programming

The Tomahawk 9010 car alarm allows you to store up to four remote controls in its memory; the setup procedure is as follows:

1. The ignition is turned on; there is no need to start the engine.
2. Find the emergency mode key Valet or Override. Pinch it.
3. When the remote control setup mode is turned on, the siren will emit four pulses.
4. After this, the Override key is released.
5. The keys for the open trunk and the crossed out speaker are pressed on the key fob. If the “signaling” stores the remote control in the memory, you will hear a signal. One for the first remote control, two for the second, etc.
6. To exit the programming mode and linking remote controls, you need to not touch the key fob for six seconds.

If the key fob has not passed the binding procedure, it will be deleted from the alarm memory.

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;
• the Override button is installed hidden, but must be accessible;
• alarm units should not overheat or become damp;
• It is recommended to avoid installing the head unit near sources of interference, which may be car electrical systems.

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.

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.

Operating instructions

The instruction manual supplied with the Tomahawk TW-9010 consists of several sections:

• description of the main functions;
• turning the system on and off;
• remote control of engine operation;
• management of additional features;
• setting up the key fob;
• tuning tables;
• installation recommendations with connection diagrams.

Let's consider several important points that must be followed during operation.

Autostart

When using the remote start function, the following conditions must be met:

• put the box in neutral or park mode;
• turn off the ignition;
• all doors and covers with limit switches must be closed;
• apply the parking brake (to activate the limit switch).

By temperature

To enable autostart based on data from the temperature sensor, you must press buttons 02 and 03 and hold for several seconds. Confirmation of the active function is a single flash of the light alarm, a signal from the siren and buzzer, as well as the appearance on the screen of an indicator of the temperature at which the start will occur.

The start temperature and operating time are programmed using the service button and key fob. The mode is turned off by pressing the buttons in the same way and is confirmed by double activation of the light and sound system. The Tomahawk TW-9010 allows you to warm up up to six times within two hours.

The response temperature can be selected from the following range:

• -5ºС;
• -10ºС;
• -20ºС;
• -30ºС.

Daily launch

Daily start-up is performed by simultaneously pressing buttons 02 and 04 until the siren and emergency lights are activated. The buzzer melody will play on the key fob and the corresponding indicator will appear. When the function is enabled, the default repeat time is 24 hours. If more frequent repetitions are necessary, additional pressing of the buttons is used within 5 seconds after turning on the mode.

Button number	Start retry time, hours
01	1
02	2
03	4

Activation with Override button

You can turn on the autorun mode by pressing the service button.

To do this you need:

1. Turn off the ignition (an important point that distinguishes this setting from programming).
2. Press the button. When pressed three times, the Valet mode is activated, four times - daily engine start, five times - warming up by temperature.
3. Turn on the ignition and receive confirmation of the selected mode by flashing the diode and sounding the siren (three, four and five times, respectively).
4. By pressing the Override button, select the required function (sequential transition through the table). The choice is confirmed by the indicator (one flash - on, two - off).

When the daily start is activated via the Override button, the engine will start after the ignition is turned off.

Autostart on manual transmission

To use automatic start on a manual transmission, you must confirm that the shift lever is in neutral.

Sequence of actions:

1. With the engine running, apply the parking brake.
2. Press button 02 on the key fob and wait for the icon and melody to turn on with the buzzer.
3. Remove the key from the lock.
4. Open the door, get out of the car and close it. Please remember that steps 3 and 4 should take no more than 30 seconds.
5. Wait until the engine stops. This indicates that the system is ready to automatically start according to the programmed program.

Alarm test poll

When the user is in the communication range, it is possible to conduct a test poll of the alarm system. To do this, briefly press button 03, and the key fob will receive data on the temperature in the cabin and the activated security zones. At the time of interrogation, the vehicle emits a three-time hazard warning signal.

Opening the trunk

When you press button 03 for a long time, the trunk lid is disabled and the lock is unlocked. An icon of a car with an open trunk appears on the key fob screen.

Search for a car in the parking lot

Simultaneous use of buttons 03 and 04 activates the car search mode in the parking lot. When a signal is received, the car's exterior alarm flashes six times and the siren briefly sounds the same number of times.

Anti-hijack

In case of attempted robbery, you can activate the Anti-hijack function. To do this, press and hold buttons 01 and 03. The launch of the function is confirmed by the activation of the alarm, which operates for 30 seconds. After this time, the siren will be turned on and the circuits that ensure the engine starts and operate will be blocked. If the motor was active, the Anti-hijack will turn it off. A corresponding icon will appear on the screen. An accelerated option for starting the mode can be pressing a button that is discreetly installed in the cabin.

Panic mode

A simplified version of Anti-hijack is panic mode, which can be activated by pressing buttons 01 and 03 (briefly). The difference between this option is that it cannot be activated if the engine is running. When the option is enabled, the car flashes the external alarm three times and beeps with the siren (three short ones).

The setup mode is started by pressing and holding three buttons:

When turned on, a sound and light signal sounds (four times) and the icon on the screen lights up. If the option is activated, only service functions and programming are available to the user. The mode is turned off by pressing a similar combination of buttons.

Calling the driver from the salon

To implement the function, press the button installed on the antenna unit. When a signal is received, the key fob will play a melody and the Call icon will turn on on the screen.

What to do if you lose your key fob

If the key fob is lost or broken, the alarm can be started or turned off in emergency mode.

The setup is performed as follows:

1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press the button eight times.
3. Turn off the ignition and get out of the car. The emergency lights and siren will sound, after 20 seconds the alarm will turn on in normal mode.

When the alarm is triggered within 20 seconds, the system will notify the owner and give another 20 seconds to turn off. If it is not deactivated, an alarm will be activated.

In this article we will look at how to install the TOMAHAWK 9010 alarm yourself.

Typically, the installation of an alarm begins with the hood opening sensor and the installation of a horn.

Installing the hood opening sensor

Often the forge is attached to any bolt securing the throttle cable. In order to install the sensor, we will use the technological hole under the hood cover.

After the hood sensor is installed, we begin to make a connection with a connection chip, this is done so that later we can connect it to the temperature sensor. Now we need to tighten the wiring harness through the rubber junction; this junction contains the standard harness. You need to run orange-gray and gray wires under the hood.

Connecting the trunk sensor

The next installation step is connecting the wire to the trunk sensor. We use a standard sensor. To hook up the sensor, we need to find the blue wire on the trunk lamp and solder to it the wire that will stretch along the left threshold.

Then you can start connecting the trunk opening and central locking control relay. To do this, you need to find the multiplex unit, it should be located on the back of the fuse box, behind the glove compartment, it looks like a small flat box. In order to get to it, you will need to remove the fuse box, do not forget to unhook all the connectors, as soon as they are unhooked, you can remove the block.

Now we turn it over and see the same multiplex unit we need, on which the central locking relay is located, as well as the remote trunk opening.

In order to remove the covers you need to unscrew four self-tapping screws. In order to pull the multiplex out from there, you will need to halve the block.

Using a screwdriver, carefully pry off the latches and disconnect the block.

Connecting the central lock

On the board you need to solder wires to the contacts that are responsible for opening and closing the doors.

Please note that points 1 and 2 are responsible for closing and opening the doors, and the 3rd point is responsible for the trunk lock.

Now you need to make a hole in the multiplex box in order to bring the wires out.

Installation of the alarm unit

Now we begin to disassemble the center console in order to make a place for installing the main alarm unit:

It is advisable to immediately remove from the block those wires that are not needed:

1. Blue – red (door sensor positive control);
2. Yellow-black (1 additional channel);
3. Yellow-blue (3 additional channel);
4. Blue (interior lighting);
5. Black-red (IGN3);
6. Purple (anti-HI-JACK button);
7. Yellow-red (additional channel 2);
8. Black and white (additional blocking).

Now remove and solder the blue wire with a black stripe to the oil pressure sensor wire.

Then connect to the LED, which will turn on when the doors are opened. Next, we disassemble the panel and solder the wire to the cathode. We begin to draw out the wiring.

This wire connects to the blue-black one, which is located on the alarm unit itself. That's it, the panel can be put back in place. Now on the ignition switch block we are looking for a white-red wire - a permanent plus, to it you need to solder the red wire coming from the power connector of the signaling. The black and white wire is responsible for the starter, you need to cut it and hook it up according to the diagram.

Don't forget to solder a diode to it to avoid self-induction.

There is also a black and yellow wire on the lock - this is the ignition switch, IGN1 is soldered to it. A black and yellow thin wire is responsible for ACC; you need to solder the blue wire to it. The green IGN2 wire is soldered to the red-black wire.

Now the resulting harness is wound with insulating tape along with the relay, and connected to the alarm. Now we solder to the turn relay, it is located behind the small glove compartment to the right of the steering wheel.

Then we solder the green-black and green-yellow wires to the relay.

All that remains is to connect the transceiver to the windshield.

The shock sensor must be attached with double-sided tape to any metal part of the body.
