I bought my Celica and the guy I bought it from told me that there is a problem with the alarm system. Whenever you lock the car with the remote entry, the alarm can go off for no reason or just goes off right when you lock it. Does anyone have the same problem?

I have a problem with my aftermarket alarm. Damn thing goes off when I start my car. Makes me look like I'm ripping off my own ride. Just don't use it. It's saving me the embarrassment til I get a new (and better) alarm system.

 

[blackgt0101]

Yeah, I think my alarm system is stock though. For now, I guess I'll have to lock it manually before I get out.

replace the battery in your keyless entry device on your keychain

 

[blackgt0101]

does it say on it what battery it uses?

I have the same problem too and would like to fix it myself. In addition to your problems, mine sometimes goes off even when I don't arm the car. It also goes off even with it set at the lowest settings. Could the location of the alarm have any affect on the functionality

 

[SickCelica696]

The battery wouldn't affect the alarm going off randomly. That's controlled by the brain under the dash

if you need help with your alarms if they are after market email me alot of time with aftermarket alarms and people hooking them up they use the wrong wires, there is usually a wrong wire hooked up for dome supervision and that will cause the alarm to trigger then the light goes off or if there is a dome delay wait for the interior light to go off then arm the alarm. if you arm it before the light goes off then the light goes off it will set the alarm off. just let me know what i can help with

What if you set the dome light to be off all the time? Sometimes I dont even arm the car and it goes off.

P.S. Sorry if i jacked the thread

Setting the Dome light "Off" doesn't matter... because the Dome light output control signal from the body ECU still changes state when you open a door, etc.

 

[baldi23]

Where would i check to see if the wires were placed wrong, or if my dome light wire is loose? It sometimes turns off when the door is closed, but most of the time just stays on as if the door was still open. That's the reason for keeping the dome light off. Thanks

Which is probably what is setting off your alarm... I'd just check the door pin switch adjustment... sounds like it just needs to come out a bit. Its behind the little rubber "nub" on the door frame, below the latch U bracket.

BTW, the light will shut off if you left the door open... I think its like 20 mins.
