Car Alarms: Toyota Corolla Alarm, valet mode, toyota corolla


Question
I have a 2003 Corolla and the other night when it was storming the alarm kept going off because of the thunder. I was able to turn it off with remote and everything seemed fine. However, now the remote only locks the doors, the alarm doesn't come on at all. I also noticed that the LED on the dash isn't blinking anymore. Do you think the alarm needs to be reset or is there something else going on?

Answer
Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in service mode.

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 hidden away spot,
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.
Let me know what happens.
