Theft Deterrent System Won’t Activate
My keyless entry remote locks and unlocks the doors and trunk, even
the panic button works...however, when I press the lock button twice the theft deterrent system will not activate. It was working fine up until yesterday. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Skipdogchip -- Posted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.

If you've recently bought the car used, be aware the previous owner may have disabled the alarm system to prevent it from going off all the time. This is done by disabling the hood switch. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Re: Re: Theft Deterrent System Won’t Activate
Tegger,
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I did purchase the vehicle used. It is a 2000 Accord EX. The car did not come with a remote key fob even though the car had this option installed. I purchased the remote from my local Honda dealer and they programmed it for me. Everything worked great for about a week. Now, all of a sudden, the theft system won’t arm when I press the remote lock button twice...once to lock the doors and the second time to arm the system. Any further thoughts?

The Owner's Manual for your car mentions no Valet mode, so it looks like the only "Valet" function is that provided by the Valet key that should have come with the car. And all that does is lock out the trunk. If the security system refuses to arm, the most likely culprits are still the door/trunk/hood switches. Are any of the doors shown as being open acording to the light on the dash? If not, then you still need to check the hood switch. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Re: Re: Re: Theft Deterrent System Won’t Activate
According to the dash, all doors are closed. I can still lock and
unlock the doors remotely and open the trunk. The "Panic" button on the remote still works. The Honda dealer informed me that to activate the car "Theft Deterrent System" I needed to press the lock button on the remote twice. The first push locks the doors (no problem). The second push is to avtivate the alarm system, however when I push it all I hear is a click from the doors. The lights don’t flash and the horn doesn’t sound to let me know that the system is armed. Hood or trunk problem?
