QuestionI have a 97 Corolla CE with an alarm and yesterday when I locked it, it chirped twice. Its never done that before and me being a kid I was giddy with joy that it was making that noise whenever I would lock or unlock the car. And now it stopped :( any ideas?
Answer
VALET
Hmmm, 2 chirps usually means it's unlocked.
If it's installed correctly, there would be a valet
switch under the dash as well. Ok, at this point,
it 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.
