LED DIAGNOSTICS
The system includes disarm diagnostics, through the RED LED light, that will help in determining what caused
the last trigger of the alarm system. This is a valuable tool in determining how the vehicle was tampered with
or if there is a false alarm problem in which case you can make the necessary adjustments to correct the
problem. When the system is disarmed with the remote you will hear the normal 2 chirps, then 4 quick chirps
that indicate the alarm was triggered while you were away. Check the LED light for a sequence of flashes:
Shock Sensor = 1 Flash Door = 2 Flashes Hood/Trunk = 3 Flashes Ignition = 4 Flashes
Diagnostics will reset when the Ignition is turned on or when the system is re-armed.
