Hmm... Why does my Celica honk at me? #159409 Apr 19, 3:24pm Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 433 Independence, California ArumnDark Senior Member 2004 Toyota Celica ArumnDark Senior Member 2004 Toyota Celica Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 433 Independence, California Sometimes when I lock/unlock the car (with either the remote or the key), the running lights flash briefly, and the car honks for about a half-second. What causes it to honk, and how can I make it not honk? (It only does the honk thing sometimes, the lights always flash, which is all I want it to do.) Thanks!

I hit unlock twice (to unlock all the doors). Sometimes it honks, sometimes not... I have an '04 GTS, by the way. No aftermarket parts. Last edited by ArumnDark; Apr 19, 2004 3:31pm.

So maybe if I hit the little button on the back of the red light inside the car, that will keep the alarm from arming (when I don't want it to)? Gotta run right now, be back in a few hours. Thank you folks

It said that the lights should flash for the keyless thing, but nothing else. Mainly just trying to find out how to disable it, it's damned annoying

I thought that honking means that there is no security system, and that the car just has remote keyless entry??? My girlfriend's Civic does the honking thing. No security system, just remote keyless entry. I'm pretty sure that honking means that you only have remote keyless entry. Aqua Teen Hunger Force...number one in the hood, G

Except Toyota is rather far away I'll just call 'em tomorow and ask 'em to give me the info about the alarm, so I can figure out all the bells and whistles. I gave them all my money, they can help me out ;P

Once for arming, twice for disarming, and a continuous beep when the car isn't locked properly.

The alarm is the black box type deal with the red light on it (stuck to the underside of the dash on the driver's side), right?

I'm pretty sure it's not the wireless entry system, because it's happened when I opened up the door with the key, or even the door lock button inside...

They were digging through the manual swearing there was a way to enable it, half hour passes and they finally decided the 03's don't honk/beep. I dunno...

I found it I laid down on my back to look up under the driver's side dash, and found the little button that says SILENCER. Now it does the short beep for arming, and beep-beep for disarming. Excellent!

It's on the back of the tube, at the opposite end as the light. Tube is probably around an inch long.
