Keypad - Not Like Manual

[Skipweasel]

My keypad isn't the same as the one in the handbook.

 

Mine goes

 

1 2 3 C

4 6 7 S

7 8 9 0

 

but the manual shows D/N instead of S. Obviously, I've tried using the S as D/N but I can't get it to do any of the things I'd like it to - like delay arming, change code etc.

 

Does anyone have the right handbook they could scan for me, please? Or is there some other trick I'm missing?

 

Thanks - Guy.

enter the code so it activates the immobiliser then change the code C is change and S is store

The D/N button was only fitted to earlier vehicles. Insurance companies didnt like the idea that owners could set a delayed locking to the imobilizer they would rather the customer didnt have the option......hence later vehicles have a 'c' button.

 

So the only thing you can use the immobilizer for is unlocking the vehicle and changing the code.

 

To change the code enter your current code, then press 'c' at which point it should bleep at you ......then enter your new code...press 'c' again should bleep with a different number of beeps this time.

 

ok......so having done that the car will start......try it.....if it does thats good........

 

the next thing is to turn it off get out and close the door and leave it for 2 minutes.....untill the red led flashes

 

reopen the door......ignition on.......and reenter your 'new' code.....hopefully the keypad led will go green and allow you to start the vehicle....if it does your finished.

 

If it doesnt go green and goes red instead you have either entered your new code incorrectly, or saved the code to the keypad incorrectly.......in which case you use the original code...the one you are changing from and it should start......then got through the process again.

 

so.....enter original code 'xxxx' press c (it bleeps at you) enter new code 'zzzz' press c (it bleeps at you).......start car, turn off, exit car and close door., wait 2 minutes till red led flashes. reenter car, ignition on enter new code 'zzzz'...check it starts....if it doesnt enter original code 'xxxx' and start again.

 

Personally, if the keypad is working ok i wouldnt bother changing the code, if you are changing it because the numbers are wearing out and the contacts are dodgy you should take one of two options......the obvious one being replace it, the easiest one being to disconnect it....although this means the vehicle has no imobilizer.

 

To disconnect the imobilizer, start the car up and unplug the wiring that goes into the immobilizer keypad.....this can only be done if the vehicle is running at the point of disconnection.

 

Should you disconnect it i would advise you either change the code to '1111' which is the factory default code or alternatively write the code on the underside of the keypad.

 

Why?

 

Because when some clever dick plugs it in several months later they will need the code......and you can be sure no one will remember it!....you dont want to know how much a fuel injection computer is

Ah - right, it was really the delayed arming I was interested in. If I can't do that then as you say, there's not a lot of point.

 

Thanks for the detailed answer.
