Does it do it with internal sensors disabled? Not familiar with your car, but handbook should say how to do it, either by button inside, or certain key fob press technique etc.
if not, the issue is with the internal sensors.
if it does, then Check boot and bonnet and door switches for poor contact, movement, bad connection and power supply.
The alarm tripping is often caused by a bad door or hood switch. Since the hood switch is always exposed to water and corrosion, that one usually goes bad first. Check that out. And no, you can't disable it.
over sensitive sensor in the car could set it off randomly... bonnet boot, door handles.. one of the motion sensor thingiis, if fitted. the beeper issue could be the position of the incoming sensor of the alarm it self.. if it is an imboliser as well then there is whole other range of issue.. turn it off or at least disconnect the siren.. or you could just pay some one way too money to fix the problem for ya... good luck
I had an issue with an Aveo that would do the same thing... what I did to correct that problem was to diagnose all the alarm switch's.
I took all door switch off inspected them they looked fine I then check the hood switch and when I took it off I noticed it was corroded inside since I changed it the alarm never came on again.
each door latch has a sensor one of those could be bad ( the ajar switch) Needs to be hooked up to a scanner at a dealership or a local mechanic may have a scanner that could help
I had this problem with an aftermarket alarm on my accent once. Check your battery cables and terminals, if there is a bad connection or any corrosion this will cause the alarm to act up. if that is not the problem, try the fuse box, see if there is a fuse labeled alarm or something like that, if nothing else important is on the same fuse just pull it out. Or you could just locate the horn for the alarm and cut and cap the wires on it. That would disable the alarm from making any sound, all other functions would remain intact. good luck.
Sir, first check that the status of automaic updates of date & time on your handset. If that is off please turn it ON as is ur handset gets resetted from time to time it will take the service providers date & time which is almost accurate. If this doesnt help then try replacing the battery.IF that doesnt help then only one thing can be done A software Reflash. Take your handset to a repair workshop & have the firmware flashed. Thats the final solution.
