Corolla 2000 AE112R Beeping noise when unlocking/locking car

[maddy3]

Hi :)

I have a 2000 model AE112R corolla, with remote control central locking, it is a great car but every time I unlock the car it beeps twice and beeps once when I lock it, I was just wondering if there is some way to turn the beeping noise off as it is very loud lol, I know on some other car models you can turn it off by holding down the unlock button while starting the car and things like that, I don't have the owners manual and I can't find an Australian one online, any help would be appreciated thanks :)

I'll bet it is the same as my AE102, check the glovebox for a small socket which you can plug the central locking remote in to, this disables the immobiliser and allows you to set certain security features (horn beep on lock/unlock, single-door unlocking on first press etc etc).

Can't remember the exact sequence, but I can check the user manual when I get home, it'll be something like "insert remote, wait for security light on dash to illuminate, press horn twice, press central locking switch etc etc" (note: not likely to be actual sequence, just an indication of the sort of steps that you might have to do).

oh ok thanks Hiro, I really appreciate all your help :) its been bugging me for a while lol

[Hiro]

As a pre-check, does your central locking remote look like this?

[maddy3]

Sorry for the late reply, I have uploaded a picture of it, its similar to that one but it doesn't have the silver piece on the side :)

[Hiro]

Hmm, that silver strip is the electrical contact for the socket in the glovebox, yours might work slightly differently then...have you checked the glovebox yet?

[maddy3]

Oh ok, sorry yes I just checked it there's no socket unfortunately, do you think there's any point trying it without plugging the remote in? thanks for all your help :)

Try this.

Sit in the car all doors closed no key in the ignition

With remote arm then disarm the alarm

within 20 seconds turn the igniton from ACC to ON 6 times finishing in the OFF

Press button on remote. indicators should flash 6 times to indicate that that the mode has been changed.

mr2, how do I arm and disarm the alarm? do I just lock the doors with the remote?, thanks I'm going to try it later :)

[(mr2)]

With the remote.

[maddy3]

Just tried it, unfortunately it didn't work thanks anyway mr2

i've got a 2000 corolla ultima, i was able to turn it off by switching the ignition a few times and pressing the lock/unlock button remote thing. I've got the central locking manual in my car and could upload a picture if your still interested.

[maddy3]

yes still interested Thanks Dan, I would really appreciate it :)
