I haven't the slightest clue. All I know is I had issues with it starting last night (it was turning over) Sounded a little weak, almost as if the battery was bad, but it started after 2-3 tries. This morning was the same. But I may have tripped the alarm by switching the key off and then back on quickly and thats when the alarm tripped. Now, whenever I turn the key to try and start, the alarm goes off and the car won't do anything.
the alarm issue happened a few years ago. I remember cutting the wire to bypass this feature. drove it that way for some time and eventually got it repaired. I think i recall someone telling me there is a way to reset the system..not sure though
