Car Alarms: Car alarm wont let me start the car, 2008 gmc sierra, valet mode


Question
Hey I have a 2008 gmc sierra 1500 with a pursuit series pro-9776 alarm system. When I turn the key there is no noise even attempting to come from the starter. I just bought a brand new battery 2 months ago and haven't had a problem so I'm pretty sure its some sort of a starter disable feature. The display screen says service security system, but up until this point I haven't had any problems with it. Do you have any Ideas or do I just need to take it into a shop? ... Can I temporarily bypass it to at least get it home?

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. (could also be part of the on glass
antenna) 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.
