Hey guys,
Went to start the car today and i encountered these problems in this order....
1) Opened car with remote and got four beeps about 2 seconds after pressing the button...hmmm i was getting puzzled what this meant, and its not the battery in the remote(s) as tried both.
I tried locking with key in door and opening with key and didnt get the beeps (alarm problem???.....read on)
2) Next i got into the car and Attempted to start her, but nothing....When i turn the key all that comes up is "Checking..." and the only light which lights up is the AirBag Light (red one).
NONE of the other lights light up.
I tried starting the ignition again and it did exactly the same... this time i let it continue the "Checking..." sequence on the LCD screen and it came back with these errors looping in a sequence:
- "Airbag Failure"
- "Loose Connection"
- "Oil Level Pressure"
- and a bulb failure on the rear...cant remember precise wording
I then tried to lock the car and the central locking didn't work. If you pressed the remote button you can hear the car make a slight noise but the locks don't shut (the alarm lights up and activates...the alarm siren still works too). So had to lock manually.
Question: Is it as simple as the battery being completely flat??? If so why does the siren, radio still work and why does it beep four times at me when presssing the remote to unlock, but not when you unlock when using the key.
The car is a 1.9 JTD 2002 and has the afterfit FIAT alarm on it (the one with the LED on front windscreen).
Look forward to hearing from your response.
