Car Alarms: camry 2000 alarm, valet service, dash area

Question
Hi there. I locked my car using the remote the other night. 2 days later the car did not want to unlock with the remote. I replaced the batteries but it still doesnt work. After opening my kar with the key, the alarm just screams. What could be wrong? Camry 200i, 2000 model. The remote does not silence the alarm. I had to disconnect the battery.

Answer
Gotcha, let's try to put it into valet/service mode,
and try to reset the alarm to default mode.

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.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode to see if this was corrected.

Let me know if it works for yours.
