Perodua Kenari Alarm Wiring Diagram -
Installing an alarm in a Perodua Kenari is a straightforward process once the wire colors are identified. The most critical connections are the Green/White (Unlock) and Blue/White (Lock) wires in the driver’s kick panel.
By following this wiring diagram and ensuring solid solder connections, you can restore the security of your vehicle and enjoy the convenience of keyless entry. Always remember to test every function (lock, unlock, panic mode) before securing the alarm module behind the dashboard.

Before we dive into the pins and colours, let’s clarify why this specific diagram is so crucial: Perodua Kenari Alarm Wiring Diagram
| Pin | Wire Color | Function | |------|------------|----------------------------| | 1 | Yellow | Starter kill relay output | | 2 | Red/White | Siren (+) output | | 3 | Blue/Orange | Door lock status (locked/unlock sense) | | 4 | Green/Red | Immobilizer antenna (key transponder) |
Note: Early base-model Kenari (no remote boot release) may have empty pins. That’s normal.
When looking at the wire bundle under your dashboard, remember these core colours to avoid confusion: Installing an alarm in a Perodua Kenari is
| Function | Wire Colour | Location | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Permanent +12V | Red / Red-Black | Thick wire, Main harness | | Accessory | Blue-Red | Ignition switch plug | | Starter | Black-White | Ignition switch plug | | Parking Lights | Red-Blue (common) | Light stalk | | Door Trigger | White-Black | Alarm module |
On the Perodua Kenari, the central locking module is often located behind the driver’s side kick panel (left side for right-hand drive vehicles) or under the dashboard. You need to find the wires coming out of the door conduit.
To use any wiring diagram, you first need the hardware. In the Perodua Kenari, the Alarm Control Unit (ACU) is located behind the driver’s side kick panel (near your left foot if you are sitting in the driver’s seat). Note: Early base-model Kenari (no remote boot release)
You will need to remove the plastic scuff plate and the kick panel trim. You are looking for a small black box, usually labeled with Perodua/Daihatsu part numbers (e.g., 8973A-87500-000). This box has two main wiring harness plugs.
The following connections should be made to install the alarm system:
| Pin | Wire Color | Function | Notes | |------|------------|-----------------------------|---------------------------| | 1 | White/Black | Door trigger input (-) | Goes to door switches | | 2 | Red/Black | Constant +12V battery | Main power (fuse 10A) | | 3 | Green | Ignition ON (+) | 12V when key is turned | | 4 | Black | Ground (Chassis) | Check for clean contact | | 5 | Blue/Red | Lock output (-) | Sends pulse to lock doors | | 6 | Blue/Yellow | Unlock output (-) | Sends pulse to unlock | | 7 | Pink | Boot/Trunk trigger | (-) Negative trigger | | 8 | Brown | Shock sensor input | Connects to impact sensor | | N/A | Gray | LED output | Dashboard blinking light |
Locking logic: The Kenari uses negative trigger central locking. Never apply +12V to pins 5 or 6 directly – you’ll fry the actuator.
