What to do if my Cobra AK4169 Car Alarm is not arming?
If your Cobra Car Alarm is not arming, the fuse might be blown. Check the vehicle's Dome 7.5A fuse. Alternatively, the alarm central unit (ACU) could be damaged or disconnected, or the alarm wire harness might be damaged. In these cases, contact your Cobra or Toyota dealer.
Why does my Cobra AK4169 Car Alarm keep going off?
Several factors can trigger false alarms in your Cobra Car Alarm. The intrusion (ultrasonic) sensors might be damaged, detached, or incorrectly oriented. Passive arming could be activated. An open window or sliding roof can also cause it. Hanging clothes or dangling accessories inside the car might be the reason. People or animals inside the car can also trigger it. Finally, a defective door, boot, or bonnet switch could be the culprit. To resolve this, check the sensors and contact your Cobra or Toyota dealer. Deactivate passive arming. Close all windows and the sliding roof, or bypass the intrusion sensor. Remove or secure any hanging items. Bypass the intrusion or option sensors if there are people or animals inside. Contact your Cobra or Toyota dealer if you suspect a defective switch.
