Car Alarms: Car alarm, toyota camary, valet service


Question
QUESTION: I'm having problems with starting my car in the morning. I recently took the car to the shop because sometimes the car didn't want to crank. They said my battery was 4 years need to be replace. I had changed the battery I'm still having that problem. I took the car back and the  service guy says he can't find anything wrong unless my alarm is keeping the car from starting. He says after awhile the alarms get old and malfunction. Could this be the case.?

ANSWER: Could I get the make, model & year of the vehicle please?

QUESTION: 1999 Toyota Camary

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.
