Car Alarms: Car Alarm Trouble, toyota avalon, dash area

Question
Hello and thank you in advance for the help. My wife's 1997 Toyota Avalon has started having an alarm issue. When you lock the doors with the keyless remote the alarm goes off. It then runs it cycle and shuts off. Any attempt to lock it again causes the alarm to go off once more. Any idea's?

Enjoy your day!

Answer
Gotcha, let's put it into valet-Overide/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.
