Car Alarms: Toyota Camry 1998, toyota camry 1998, valet mode


Question
Hi,
I have bought a Toyota Camry '98 used a few years ago without an alarm remote. I have not had a problem with using my key to open the car or turn on the engine until yesterday. As I turn on the engine, the car alarm goes off and can't function since. Is there a solution to this? THANK YOU!

Answer
Right,
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area, usually to the left
of the leg, drilled into a plactic panel,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.

Good hunting.
