Alarm problem. How to reset? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #81999 4 posts Started by celicabhoy
Hi All,

Long time lurker here looking for some guidance.

I have a 1.8 ST from 1997. UK version.

The other day the battery died. Well, my darling other half never closed the boot properly and the wee "doors open" light managed to drain the battery.

After recharging, the indicators now flash for 30 seconds everytime I stop or start the car. The car still drives non bother so it's not the biggest inconvenience. Anybody know how to reset it?

I'm sure with another celica I had you had to disconnect a battery terminal when the key was turned or something?

The alarm is the standard TVSS IIIB (I believe) with the flashing LED in front of the gear stick. I don't have a fob and there is no valet switch down at the drivers side.

Any help appreciated!

cheers

I changed battery on a Subaru yesterday that did this as well. We couldn't figure out how to get it to stop. Def looking for the same answer you are.

Try locking the door then unlocking, try key on, lock and unlock doors. Just guessing but I would imagine a way to disarm besides the valet switch.

After a week, this seems to have righted itself. Bizarre.
