Car Alarms: Code Alarm RCS-2 malfunctioning, valet mode, nissan dealer


Question
A few years back someone broke into my car, and the alarm hasn't functioned since, that is until recently I picked it up from the Nissan dealer and it was active again. My battery died a few days ago, we replaced, and now we're having troubles even getting the car to turn over. Can this be the alarm system? If so, how can we disable it from affecting the starting system? PLEASE HELP, ASAP! THANKS - Alvena

Answer
To start, 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.
with Coda Alarms, it was also part of the
LED light assembly. if it pushes in and out,
then that's your valet button.)
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. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and get new remotes for it.

But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.

Let me know how it goes.
