Supra Factory Alarms
 

Hi Folks,

I have seen several posts from people having trouble with the factory installed alarms on MKIII's. I have an 89 and yesterday when I turned the key the alarm sounded, so I stuck the key in the ignition and it stopped but the car would not start. I called the local Toyota dealer and got a really nice rep. This was his solution and it really worked. I want to share it because I would hate for more people to experience the panic I did. If you open your door and the alarm sounds, keep the door open and turn the key to the open position (right) 2 times. This should reset the security system. Jump in and start the car, as he told me you only have a certain amount of time to do this. Hope this is of some help, as this forum has been very good to me.

Sincerely,

James

thats some good advice right there...we should have this post stickied... though i dont have the power to do that...i dunno ive never had problems with the factory alarm system...this car has been good to me
