How to Reset a Crime Guard Alarm

Resetting the Crime Guard Alarm for your car takes a few steps and many of the operations can be configured as the user desires. You can reset all 31 programs via the same method. Every feature must be altered manually and separately to restore to its default setting as there is not a "restore all" feature. Make sure to pay attention to the Crime Guard Alarm's screen as you restore your device to check to see if the reset matches described factory setting.

Access Programming Mode

  • Turn the vehicle's ignition on and then turn the ignition off in order to access the programming mode.

  • Press and release the "Valet Switch" five times within five seconds. The siren will then sound or "chirp" briefly and the status light will flash to confirm that the system is entering Programming Mode.

  • Reset a feature.

Accessing and Resetting a Feature

  • Press and release the "Valet Switch" the same amount of times it takes to reach the desired feature's number. The siren will chirp and the status light will flash as many times as the "Valet Switch" was pressed to indicate the feature that is now accessed.

  • Cease pressing the "Valet Switch" once you find the feature you wish to reset. If you pass the feature you wish to reset, either continue pressing through features or wait 10 seconds and start from Step 2 of Section 1.

  • Press the "Disarm/ Unlock" or the "Arm/ Lock" buttons until settings are restored to factory set up.
