Car Alarms: Car Alarm, valet service, dash area


Question
I have a R reg Toyota Avensis. Its a used car when we bought it so I don't know if the alarm is factory fitted or not. My problem is that the alarm would sound for no apparent reasons. This alarm is parking light flashing and i think also with a siren.

How can I disable the alarm?

Answer
I understand. Sounds like a shock/impact
sensor set up too high. You can either
turn it down or unplug it, or
disable the alarm all together.

For the last question,
To put it into valet/service 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.
