ALARM ARMING SOUNDING WHEN UNLOCK


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have JOURNEY R/T 2.7 V6. The key FOB doesnt have PANIC BUTTON. Its just a normal key fob. But one day when i pressed unlock button, the HORN sounded / beep once....

But it just happened that day....

I want that when i lock and unlock it, the HORN sounds like that. Does anyone know how to set it up? I have searched in the manual book, couldnt find it...:(

Please also be informed, that my key fob doesnt have PANIC BUTTON.

Thanks guys...

I also have a Journey R/T 2.7 V6 with the key fob without the panic button.

That has happened to me once to.

On unlock the horn sounded once.

In the US (downloaded) manual it says:

If something has triggered the alarm in your absence, the

horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors.

Check the vehicle for tampering.

It doesn't say anything about sounding once though.

Although the manual do say that you can activate the horn to sound on lock:

Sound Horn with Remote Key Lock

This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors

are locked with the transmitter. This feature can be

turned on or turned off. To change the current setting,

proceed as follows:

But this is only on lock. Not on open.

(And it says it will chirp - my was more like a short honk).

That makes me draw the conclusion that the horn sounding once on unlock is either:

Some type of notification of an error.

Or a random fault.

But I would really like to know for sure as well.

Guys...check out the alram system thread in the accessories section of the forums.....

I do not have an alarm, but i do have a panic button on my fob and it does work.

Well i was haveing the same problem as you guys, both unlock and lock were having the problem.

My dealer found that it had to do with the CAS unit (igniton control unit, in dash) that the key fob gets insertied to to start the car. Apparently it also controls to a degree, alaram functions to an extent.

They repalced that (TSB recall) and it has not done is in the four months since.

Yiour guys should look into it.
