ok,here's the deal.purchased a 00 si rolling shell.installed the swap and was ready to start her up and WHAM!!!!!!!!!!! the factory alarm goes off.tried the clicker and it didnt work.replaced the battery on the clicker and still didnt work.

is there a way to deactivate the factory alarm?
i was also thinking(not a good thing)...........would a P28 with a jumper harness get the car running without having issues with the alarm?
before i do anything else to the car i would like to get it started atleast.also,if i have to bring it to the dealer,i dont want to pay for towing.

any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks

 

How is an ECU going to disable the alarm.....

 

I'm sorry....i was'nt asking a question so i can get a question as an answer.if i knew what i was doing,i would'nt be here asking for help.besides,was'nt to sure if the ecu had anything to do with the alarm system like on some cars(immobilizer).

thanks for the question,appreciate it.not to be a dik and all.

 

no immobilizer on that car. the factory alarm should be under the passenger seat. just unplug it and you should be good.

 

Are you sure it is a factory alarm and not after market?

Is there an LED on the dash......if so where?

Also there is a procedure to reset the factory alarm....google it.

 

thanks alot.gonna look for it and try that when i get home.

yes sir.its the pad that has lock/onlock & panic buttons from honda.i believe its the basic one most hondas come with when you have oem alarm.
as far as resetting it.once its up and running,i just want to take it to the dealer and purchase a new alarm pad and have them program it to the vehicle.

 

thanks "hondawhiz" & "motegicivic".

very helpful info.hopefully i resolve the issue tonight.

 

What is it doing? is it going off?

If you have a key fob and car key you can do the programming yourself and see if it works, you do not need the dealer it is not immobilizer style.

Is there an led on the top of the steering column, and a kill switch near the fuse box?

 

YEAH,once i connect the battery and turn the ignition,it goes off.there is no led anywhere and no kill switch either.thats the first thing i was looking for,just in case.

 

Well i don't know much about ECU's, But i know when they mod them for boost they can controll just about anything.

For example: I had Neptune RTP at one time,,,,, The aint-theft they had was crazy like press the gas 50% and brake to start type stuff, along with kill switch's ect.

So they might have Rommed it with whatever in the hell they wanted....

You just never know.

 

 

No. You don't.
An engine control unit (ECU) is a type of electronic control unit that determines the amount of fuel, ignition timing and other parameters an internal combustion engine needs to keep running.

Where does this encompass an alarm system?

 

idk whats so hard i posted the diagram

im sorry what


where the hell is this info coming from.... did you just pull it out of your *** and splattered it on the wall and called it art? i posted a diagram of the stock 99-00 Factory Anti-Theft

 

OP, if you go to Honda you can get installation directions for optional parts for free. It might not be a bad idea to contact your dealership and ask if they can print out the install instructions for the alarm system.

Good luck.

 

Here is factory alarm instructions, review them and see if you have any of these components.
