Car Alarms: Toyota alarm system, toyota alarm, alarmtek


Question
I own a 1996 Toyota Carina fitted with Scorpio Alarm System. The battery went flat we think because the ignition key was no turned fully and left in all night. The clock in the car stopped at 1.45am. The car would not start next morning alarm started sounding lights flashing. With small key managed to stop alarm noise but lights still flashing no ignition. Can you please help.

Answer
Carole,
  After replacing your battery,
try this:

Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.

Let me know what happens.
