Tvss Iii Alarm Problem

April 18, 2010

Hi guys and gals,

Got a convertible celica. The last couple of weeks the alarm has started going off randomly while driving. I've taken off the Battery and left it for an hour, also replaced the batteries in the keyfobs and reset them to the system. Drove all around yesterday no probs, then last night it did it again. The only way for me to turn it off is to turn off the car and use the fob. I've also noticed that the key in the boot will sometimes turn and sometimes won't so I'm suspecting this might be linked. How is it possible though for the alarm to activate while driving, if it's been deactivated to open the car? Any ideas on what the problem could be? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for any input.. tearing hair out here :(

Check the boot lock because the sensor might be damaged, so the car locks itself and the sensor sets the alarm off as the car bobs and shakes from driving.

Just a guess.
