Awais 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi people Can anyone explain why the alarm flashes the indicators five times when I press the lock button on the key twice. The car is a MKII 98 R reg GS 300. Awais Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UKDentonGS300 0 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 where are the interior sensors located UKDentonGS300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 1,924 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 It's a microwave sensor rather than ultrasonic. Not 100% sure of the location but I think it's behind the dashboard somewhere. Sometimes when washing the windscreen I set off the alarm if I forget to disarm it. This is for UK and probably all Euro models. US models do not get interior sensing.

PI100 0 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I was told the microwaves radiate from the centre armrest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UKDentonGS300 0 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I feel so dumb, all the time I have been watching the 5 flashes thinking that it is making my car more secure. Does the Lexus have a deadlock on the doors. I have not been able to demonstrate this, may be I have been turning that off as well. I had a deadlock on my Vauxhall Omega and always felt that my car was more secure. UKDentonGS300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 1,924 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 If the car has deadlocks there will be warning stickers on the side windows. Only the face-lift series II GS models (nov 2000 onwards) has deadlocks. This is operated by pressing the lock button again within 10 seconds of locking (you get a single flash and you can hear the locks). Wait over 10 seconds and you get the 5 flashes and the interior sensors are disabled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike246 9 Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 On the subject, has anyone had a problem with the GS central locking? My lazy locking no longer works and Lexus Hatfield (bless them for their good work) diagnosed a faulty locking computer at around £300. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBarber 1,924 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I guess you have tried another key? Maybe the car just needs to be re-programmed with the keys, although I would have thought Hatfield would have tried that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
