Car Alarms: Honda CRV Alamrm re-set, honda crv, valet mode

Question
QUESTION: Hi - My battery went dead, and since this has been re-charged, the alarm keeps going off. This happened a few years back, and the mechanic re-set the alarm by doing something with the ignition key. Can you confirm what I need to do to re-set the alarm on a Honda CRV 2004 model?

Thanks,
Lloyd

ANSWER: Please be more descriptive if possible.

"GOING OFF?"

I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.

Is it: Headlights flashing, car horn honking
and a worded SECURITY" light in the dash flashing?
(doubtfull since none of the notes show this
car as having a factory alarm system)=FACTORY

Or,

is it: flashing parking lights,
an LED in the dash area, and a siren
going off?= AFTER MARKET

Let me know more on this to better
advise you on a course of action
to take.

QUESTION: I think its an AFTER MARKET alarm. This happened a few years back, and the mechanic re-set the alarm by using turning the ignition key back and forth (but I cant remember what sequences he used)

Do you know how I can re-set this?

Thanks,
Lloyd

Answer

VALET SWITCHES  

valet switch   Hmmm, might need to be evaluated by a tech to
trouble shoot the issue.

Until then, to try to disarm it,
look under the dash area for a button or,
a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the
ignition key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time.

This should over ride the system,
and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE
( if this is a remote starter, the antenna on the
front window glass may also have the over ride
button inset into it.)

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
