Car alarm systems are divided into two categories: immobilizers and alarms. Immobilizers limit engine starting by affecting the starter, fuel injection system or other on-board electronics. Alarms, besides preventing the engine from starting, execute additional functions, such as threat monitoring, central locking control and remote interaction with the owner.
Anti-theft devices built in the car electrical system can cause a variety of technical problems, including complete engine blocking. The most common problems include: • Worn out batteries of the alarm key fob or immobilizer intelligent key. • Unexpected consequences of an attempted theft that may go unnoticed. • Failed fuses that provide electrical power to the system. • Resetting electronics due to a completely discharged or disconnected battery. • Errors in the operation of sensors and other important components of the alarm system. • Electrical wiring problems such as partial breakdown or current leakage. • Various types of electrical faults, such as damage to the starter or malfunction of the immobilizer relay.
Indeed, there are some complex situations, requiring the use of specialized electronic equipment for anti-theft system diagnostics, which is usually available at professional car service stations. However, it is worth noting that most modern security alarms are equipped with built-in error indication functions, which greatly facilitates the process of independent identifying and troubleshooting malfunctions.
These indication systems can provide important clues about the nature of the problem by various signals. Such signals that indicate system malfunctions include: • Unusual blinking of indicators This may be a sign that the system has detected an error or malfunction. A blinking pattern can sometimes code a specific type of problem. • Spontaneous arming or disarming If the alarm system is activated or deactivated without apparent reason, this may indicate a malfunction. • Central locking operation Sudden door locking or unlocking may be the result of a system malfunction. • Alarm activation If an alarm is triggered without an obvious threat, this may indicate an internal system malfunction. • Activation of non-standard modes of anti-theft devices Any unusual system actions may be a sign of malfunction.
Understanding these error indicators and being able to interpret them can help the car owner identify the problem cause and possibly fix it, avoiding a costly service. It is also important to read the owner’s manual and safety system for your car to get a more accurate understanding of possible problems and troubleshooting.
