Car Alarms: 1998 Toyota Camry Alarm, toyota camry, valet service

Question
I haven't used my alarm system in over 4 years because my keyless entry broke.  I have been manually opening and locking my car with no problem during the above specified time.  However, I just tried to start my car and the alarm activated.  How do I deactivate the alarm so I can go back to manual usage?  I don't know what triggered the alarm, but I cannot start my car.  The battery is fine.

Answer
Gotcha, let's 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.
