Alarm Indicator Flashing - What to do?

M

Mark Williams

I have a Subaru 2001 Legacy L Sedan and when I returned to it tonight, the
alarm indicator was flashing. The good news is no damage... the bad news is
that I cannot reset it or turn the alarm on.

I have tried following the manual instructions of opening the door and going
from lock to on twice followed by closing the door and going to on. This did
not work.

Please help!
 
Whoops... It was accidentally put in valet mode.

Valet mode or alarm off: alarm light (red dot center dashboard display)
rapidly flashing 3 times means the alarm is in "Valet" mode and is not
setable. The light will stop flashing when you start the car.
To set valet mode or just to disable the security alarm system: 1. unlock
all doors 2. physically open the driver's door 3. hold the UNLOCK button on
remote for 2+ seconds or so. The red 'security' light will then flash 2
times a second until the car is turned on
