Hi Peoples

Like the titles says is the problem. The alarms been in the car for about 2 and half years and its a viper (Cant remember the model). Usually when i click the button it will immobilise the car and lock the doors as well. But now it will only immobilise the car and leave the door unlocked. I then have to use the button on the key to lock the doors.

Same with opening the car ive got to open the door with the key and then press the alarm button(or else the alarm goes off).

Any idea on what i have to check. Ive noticed that near the fuse box inside the car theres a couple of fuses and other stuff all taped up.

Help !!!!

I recken... if the motor in the driver door is stuffed, it wouldn't trigger the passenger door. Using the key physically moves the lock, which triggers the passenger door.

If you unlock the passenger side with the key, does the drivers come up? Do you know if it used to before the problem?

more detail on the bold point pls. does yours have FACTORY keyless enrty or entry via key?

Edited by Chris Rogers

The car has factory keyless entry. If i press the button on the key it locks and opens all the doors fine. Its only when i press the button on the alarm remote that it wont lock the doors.

Is there any possible way that the remote/ alarm might have lost its setting, somthing to do with the frequency coz i know that once an alarm is fitted to a call it has to be programmed or sumting.

either way i rather leave it to the experts, you guys :ermm:

Help!!

ohhhhhhh... you have two remotes!?

An original that works, therefore the motors are fine, and one aftermarket that has just stopped working.

I'm no "Mister Alarm", but i'd guess that a wire has been snipped somehow.... if the remote lost it's frequency or scramble code, it wouldn't even immobilise the car for you.

Enter: Chris again!

ok that clarifies things. so they have added a second actuator onthe drivers door. (god knows why - its not needed!)

that extra actuator seems to have failed. what needs to happen here is the FACTORY item needs to be connected to the alarm and the addon removed. if you are in SEQLD I can do this for you and set it up properly.

by your tag I would say this is in a 32?

your problem has nothing to do with the remotes btw.

The tag is just the ranking for the amount of posts. =-]

My R33 had a dealer-optioned central locking too, but it wasn't remote central locking. The alarm installer used the original motor to wire up my alarm, so what Chris is saying makes a lot of sense. The alarm installer I had said that a lot of places don't know or think to tap into that original motor, so you could well have a second one in there that has stopped working.

Chris is in QLD, as he says, otherwise the mob called "Security In Motion" did my system, and the guy was excellent. Sydney-based.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
