Taz Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi ...Like a doughnut I've gone and drained the battery on my totally standard UK Supra TT and now that I am charging it I can't get the alarm to turn off so I can start the car ....The gentleman I purchased the car from seems to think that a fully charged battery is need 1st ,, then remove the fuse marked DOME ...then re connect the battery ...refit the fuse marked DOME and it should be good to go but I'm struggling big time guys ...I have the round key that turns the alarm SUPPOSEDLY off but that does nothing ...I have fitted new batteries to both standard Toyota fobs and they do nothing ... Anyone who may no the trick to get this going would be much appreciated ...Taz 07770613987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Advanced search for 'Alarm synchronise' and look for a thread started by DSK it has detailed instructions for the uk system. I would post a direct link but on an ipad and can't see the URL to cut and paste..... I've bumped the old thread, it's in supra chat......

Taz Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ooooh ...so close and yet so far ...The second option with removing the negative terminal almost worked and allowed me to start the car with no problems but then when I went to start it again the alarm just went off again ....I have the round key that has the niblet sticking out and have found the alarm siren under the bonnet next to the battery but no matter what way I turn it ( 9 o clock or 12 o'clock ) it still has the siren going off ...and it's as if the siren is in the boot and I can't find it ...anyway ...gutted I can't get it started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The siren in behind the drivers side plastic panelling near the speaker. All the plastic will need to be removed to get to it, unless you can find the cable under the door strip plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sorry ...can anyone recommend a mobile alarm specialist in Surrey ...before I smash the granny out of this car LOL ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeland Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Same happened to my car. I got it pulled out as these drain the battery and I dont think its easily fixed. Toyota can't / won't fix this because its so old and outdated. If the siren next to the battery doesn't deactivate then just pull out that cabel which is going into the siren. For the siren inside, you have to do as Kev says. My advise, get rid of it and install a new one. I think the ecu / main board for the alarm is under the drivers seat. Good luck, hope you get it running soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie698 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The Scorpion system is an arse but i'm sure there is life left in it, don't give up. Usually involves a lot of swearing and button pressing after a battery disconnect. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23034369/ScorpionT5000.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie698 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Also, there is a handful of blade fuses under the drivers seat connected to the alarm module, one could have gone which is preventing the system from disarming, last resort... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I would be interested in your fobs if you are getting rid of them Thanks Jamie ...that's good of you buddy ...just popping the gum shield in for round ten with this alarm ...I'll let you know how it goes ...Interior is coming out today anyway as having it re trimmed so will check those fuses also Marcus ...you can gladly have the Fobs mate if it all goes pear shaped and a new alarm is fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well I'm afraid it was a knock out blow by the Supra ..I've tried every which way but loose and no joy ...getting strong red lights in the corners of both fobs but,it's not having it ...Alarm man out on Tuesday PM ...leather man here Monday am ...let's see how we get on .....many thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 A couple of years after getting my UK TT6 the battery went dead.... the stock scorpion security system went in to full anti-theft mode with no effective method of resetting it. I tried all those things you have already done, dome fuse, castle key, button pressing, battery terminals etc. etc. nothing worked. I then looked at it as a chance to upgrade the outdated system and fitted a new alarm with additional sensors and options for re-set if the battery goes flat in the future.

Chris Wilson Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I have had my fair share of trouble with the UK factory alarms, here's my take. Now they are old the NiCad battery in the sounder goes flat. i believe it is needed to store the key fob code, so when an alarm with a duff battery has the car's main battery disconnected, or go flat, the alarm loses the key fob code and defaults to immobilising. When I saw a lot of these this is what i did. Put a working battery in the car, and leave on trickle charge, connected to the car's electrics overnight. Ensure the key fob battery is good. Leaving the charger on the car battery put the fob very near the driver's door and press the unlock button for at least 20 seconds. that *SHOULD* allow the alarm unit to see the fob code and retain it, SO LONG as the vehicle main battery is not disconnected again or allowed to go flat. Whether the NiCad in the alarm itself is accessible and could be renewed i have no idea. Using a radio code "code saver" jump battery when removing the main vehicle battery, or disconnecting it, SHOULD allow the alarm to retain the fob code. I hate none factory (and the UK one isn't really factory, as in built into the car by Toyota), alarms, and find the most reliable ones are those sat unopened on a delaer's shelf And the more "extras" an alarm does, the more butchery of the wonderful stock harness and the more points of trouble or failure.

All of my encounters are just seeing the horros of peoples lack of wiring skill. Bastardised looms and those aweful scotch locks, terrible.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
