Car Alarms: Car Alarm sounding, valet mode, toyota camry


Question
I have a 2001 Toyota Camry, there is a problem with the alarming system. When I put the key in the starter and crank the engine starts but there is a flickering of hazard lights and the alarm sounds , after some time the engine shuts off. One more thing I have noticed is, when I turn the stearing to left, the doors automatically unlocks ankd the door open sign lights up on the dash board. The sticker on the window reads" permaVin security system".  

Answer
Seems to be in a "long tamper" mode.

Ok, an installer would place the velet switch in a semi
hidden area. I'd 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

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.
