Rav4 - 2001 D4D - Alarm Sounding After Replacing Car Battery

[Inverbertie01]

Hi All, being driven to dispair here!!!!!

I had to replace the car Battery this morning and since renewing, every time I open the drivers side door, the alarm sounds (for about 30 sec) and the indicators flash. I have tried searching on line for some intervention (and a solution), but there doesnt appear to be an exact resolve for this model.

I have checked the Battery in the key fob and this is working ok.

All or any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Does the vehicle lock/ unlock using the remote key fob ?

Hi Conrod

Yeah it locks and unlocks with the key fob. However the alarm goes off as soon as I open the door, it stops going off and let's me drive the car and then when I stop and take the key out at the end of the journey the alarm goes off again.

Don't really have the answer just picking away at questions...do all the door switches work ? Does the alarm go off opening any door ?

maybe leave the Battery disconnected for an hour or so,this may reset everything back to normal.

As soon as Battery is connected operate the fob to turn off the alarm , this resets it
