After unlocking my 98 with the keyless entry it will sometimes kick off the alarm when I open the door. Anyone else have this happen to them? I wouldnt mind disconnecting the alarm if I had to. I know my neighbors are getting tired of it.
now that sucks........good luckI also have a problem with my 98 alarm system. 165k
I often leave my keys in the ignition and hardly ever lock the car. Last week, after sitting with the keys in the ignition and several windows open, the alarm went off. It later again went off again with the keys in the ignition and the rear hatch open. I later sneaked back to talk to my mechanic at the Toyota dealer and he was concerned that it might be hard to track when it goes off with the keys in the ignition and that it might be expensive to fix. I would just as soon disconect the system but he stated that it interups the
ECU starting program if disconnected. In reading the FSM I can find only diognostic help with the key out of the ignition. I parked the
truck and disconnected the battery. Help!
Wanted to close the loop on this thread.
My alarm problem ended up being due to a weak drivers door lock actuator. Occasionally, even though the actuator had physically unlocked the door, the signal to the ECU wasn't getting sent that the door was indeed unlocked (even though the ECM registered that it had received the unlock signal via the remote). Since replacing the actuator, haven't had the problem again.
