Or not, depending on the result.

I've now got my car back and the alarm is now working, it was a loose connection on the control box. I had to take the car back after getting half way home as the electric windows would nt work in Auto mode. The dealer had to reset this, now its fine, must of been when they were messing around with the fuse box. The dash display was also set to the lowest setting, I thought that that was broken too! I also noticed that the battery was runned down too as the display was clear in the indicater window showing it needed charging. Lets see how long that lasts for this time?

Got mine back from the dealers today - its VERY loud now compared to before when just the hazards flashed.
Also got a valet done by them as well

Rich 11 · 18th July 2008, 09:06

Its now been over a week and no replacement 3rd control Box !!! Rang them a twice this week and no returned calls. Just rang them again and the explaination is .............. none in stock and they they are still trying to cover up the fact that there is no problem and its the first they have heard of this. Come on HUK get a grip and sort your dealers OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried mine only to get indicators flashing and no noise. Worried about it all day at work, then tried again and the siren worked fine.

I noticed that if I tried to enter the car too soon after setting the alarm then nothing happens, wait a while though and all seems fine

Jack The Lad. · 19th July 2008, 13:51

About 2 minutes seems to be the case.

Hopefully its a permanent fix!

Exactly the same with mine.
Siren replaced two weeks ago, 'waving arms' test sounded the siren.

This morning I had to park in a dodgy trading estate in Leicester.
Before I left the car I tried the 'waving arms' test - nothing!
Even scratched the ultrasonic sensors with my nails - nothing!
Unlocked the door through the open window - flashing hazards, NO SIREN!
(In hindsight, perhaps I shouldn't have demonstrated the lack of alarm to the lowlife of Leicester hiding in the bushes!)

Car goes back again on Friday.
Dealer still sounded surprised about alarm fault...WITH A SILENT ALARM I RIDE!

Chalks · 23rd July 2008, 21:51

There is now plenty of information about fixing this fault for dealers at Honda Technical. It should be a simple thing to fix. Get your dealer to download the help files and digest BEFORE you arrive with the car........

As I've said previously, mine was fixed in less than two hours with no parts required.

Clive242 · 25th July 2008, 09:21

Just had mine fixed for the second time.

It looks like the instructions to Honda dealers are just to do a Ctl-Alt-Del - disconnect the battery for a few seconds - until they can identify what's causing the alarm system to get confused.

Mine's now working again, but not sure for how long.

gm1980 · 25th July 2008, 09:34

Mine only activates when I try to unlock the door with the key and when i leave the windoew open and try to unlock it from inside. I did the hands wave test to check the ultrasonic sensors but nothing appears to be work. So how can I do a proper check to check the whole system?

IMHO it sounds like yours is working.
Does your model in Cyprus have ultrasonic sensors installed? It may just be the plastic panel with nothing behind.

We have the panel without the openings, as we don´t have the sensors. I would think that if you have the panel for the sensors, you also have the actual sensors... but it is easy to check.

gm1980 · 25th July 2008, 11:42

Actually mine doesn't work. Even when yoy unock with the keys the alarm activates, no siren is heard so I suppose i have the same problem as the others. Mine is a Uk model EX I don't thing they make different model for cyprus market.

Very interesting. Sounds exactly the same as my problem.
If you're confident enough try disconnecting the battery for a few seconds, then reconnect.

Honda tell me it's currently the only way they know of reseting the alarm.

gm1980 · 25th July 2008, 18:48

What Are the possible problems might be caused?

After reading this thread i have not been able to get the alarm on my CTR to go off but didn't want to make it public knowledge.

I have had my CTR 1st service today and the Alarm is now ok.
The dealer has explained that on the Type R (or any model with internal sensors) if the windows are open when you set the alarm it disables the motion sensors in case a child or dog is left in the car while filling for fuel, etc.
I then explained that it never worked while sat in the car to test it but they have now repaired it, thank god.
7 months old car and i have probably never had an alarm that worked

such much for the PDI checks !!!

It may of worked when it first arrived from the factory, I tested mine in Sept 07 just after getting the car and it worked. A few months down (July 0

the line it stopped working, a poor connection so they tell me!
