Toad alarm, A1606 - keeps going off

[ToyotaTosh]

My alarm keeps going off at random times, I bought the car Sat and its been fine until Tuesday and Wednesday night ???

Could Taxi CB's set it off? Its a Toad A1606 on 433mhz

The chap who bought my Supra has the same issue, it never went off at all in all my years of ownership but he's having a nightmare with it.

Interested to hear any comments on this too

more likly to be the bonnet sensor

You can check to see what is setting it off, could be a bad earth, faulty sensor etc.
If you follow the instructions in the owners manual it will tell you how to find out the code.
If all that fails you can adjust it's sensitivity.

its fine now and again, but a earlier on, 20 mins after coming in, it went off, but its been fine since, as I said earlier, its been ok all weekend until Tuesday night which I found to be strange

Yeah when you disarm the alarm after it going off the LED should flash a number of times, the number tells you which sensor it was that triggered the alarm. It will most likely be the engine lid switch or the bonnet switch. Usually fitters don't use waterproof switches and you only need a bit of water to get in them to short to ground and then the alarm goes off.

Oh yeah tt's an Ai not an A1

Mine keeps going off too, i double click the arm button which disables the interior sensors, hasn't gone off since.

"If the alarm system has been triggered, it will flash the indicators and chirp the siren 4 times when you disarm. When the ignition is next turned on, the sensor which triggered the alarm will be indicated by the number of LED flashes"

2 flashs - optional sensors
3 doors (-)
4 boot/bonnet
5 doors (+)
6 ultrasonics
7 ignition

from the Ai606 user guide
not sure what they mean by the doors + & - though. hope that helps, it has stopped me pulling my hair out!

thanks, i'll check it out when the rain goes away !

I double armed it and its been ok since as well

[ToyotaTosh]

hhmm still goes off, its flashing 6 times, so its the ultrasonics.
What area would that cover?

[toxo]

The cabin - the ultrasonics are the 2 things that look like tiny microphones sat either on your dash or at the top of your A pillar.

i checked them, i have 3 ? it turned out to be the visor covering the sensor on the drivers side, folded the visor back and its been ok since .....

might have a loose connection somewhere
