Anti-theft system unlocking
Formally, there are two categories of anti-theft systems: car alarms and immobilizers. The first do not just prevent the possible theft of transportation. They perform a number of additional functions. For example: remotely control the electric heating of the interior, seats or steering wheel of the car, track the location of the car by connecting a GPS-module and not only. The second ones only prevent the car from starting by disabling the starter, the system of dosed fuel supply to the engine or other on-board electronics.
Causes of malfunctions in anti-theft systems
Technical means designed to protect against theft are part of the car's electrical system. Therefore, errors in their functionality can have a negative impact on certain functions and even completely block the vehicle's engine. Protective devices integrated into the electrical system can be disrupted: • due to untimely replacement of the battery in the chip key or in the alarm fob; • due to blocking of circuits during an attempt to steal the vehicle; • against the background of fuse breakage in the electrical supply circuits; • due to resetting of settings caused by accidental disconnection of the battery; • due to errors in the operation of sensors and other elements of the security system; • due to problems with the vehicle electrical wiring; • due to malfunctions of some devices (e.g. due to damage to the starter).
Identifying and eliminating engine blockage on your own: is it possible?
In particularly complex cases, to identify malfunctions with the car's safety system, it is necessary to connect professional electrical equipment. This can be done only in a specialized service center. Nevertheless, the vast majority of modern car alarms are supplemented with built-in error indication functions. And this makes independent detection and elimination of technical faults more possible.
The indication system notifies of malfunctions through the following signals: • Uncharacteristic flickering of the LED indicators. This can signal that there is a malfunction in the device. Each type of LED blinking corresponds to a specific operating mode or a specific problem. • Uncontrolled activation or deactivation of the system. It can indicate malfunctions in the operation of a technical device designed to protect against theft. • Unexpected locking or unlocking of car doors. It can occur as a result of incorrect operation of the anti-theft system of the car. • False triggering of the alarm system. Activation of a long siren signal and light indicators without a clear reason may indicate the presence of an internal error. • Activation of non-standard modes of the anti-theft device. Any atypical triggering of the alarm system can signal a malfunction of the device.
Learning to distinguish the above signals and correctly decipher them, you can easily determine the cause of the problem and, perhaps, even fix it yourself, without using the services of a car service. In order to have a more detailed understanding of possible malfunctions and how to fix them, it is also important to know how the safety system works.
Step-by-step instructions for unlocking the anti-theft system on your own
To unlock the security device yourself: • clean the battery terminals, check the voltage; • check the integrity of all fuses in the car; • check the battery charge in the chip key or in the alarm fob; • inspect the hood and trunk lid limit switches; • try disarming the car by pressing a hidden button; • enter the emergency disarm code using the service button; • activate the special safe mode “Valet”, if available; • try to restore factory settings of the security device according to the instructions.
Perhaps, performing the above actions will help you to cope with the unpleasant problem and start the car engine without resorting to professional mechanics.
