Car Alarms: My Car Alarm, valet mode, toyota celica


Question
My battery died on my 1998 toyota celica and when i try to jump it all i get is a ticking. and now my aftermarket security system that was on the car when i bought it keeps going off what can i do to get my car to start turning over when i go to jump it

Answer
The alarm is in long tamper mode.
Ok, should be fairly easy. 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

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.

That should solve the troubles for now.
Repeat the steps to toggle back to valet when needed.

Let me know what you discover.
