Why Do My Hazard Lights Do This

[mrsb]

Hi,

I have a 2002 GS 300 Lexus. Sometimes when I lock my car, instead of the hazard lights flashing twice, they flash about 5 times. Does any one one know the reason why. No problems with it otherwise.

Thanks.

press the button once will put the standard alarm on, if you press it twice which flashes about 5 times activates the window sensors

My 430 flashes about 5 times too.....but only if I press the remote lock button three times. I discovered this when I accidentally pressed it 3 times instead of twice.

Have the remote button functions changed over the years? On my '99 Sport, 1 press of the lock button locks the doors, a second press seems to set the deadlocks. Not tried a third press. If I hold the lock or unlock buttons, the windows will open or close depending which button I am keeping pressed.

no, mine is exactly as above, including windows and sunroof. if you press lock a third time hazards flash about 5 times. I did it accidentally and then pressed to unlock and then relock as I didnt know if third press deactivated alarm. I thought maybe the several flashes might be a warning or similar.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the third press(and 5 flashes) locks the car but disables the interior sensors - for those people that like to cook their dogs in their car.

Well asked the question a LEXUS yesterday about button clicks, and yes your right Tigerfish, 1 click locks doors and sets alarm, 2 clicks lock outside and inside and sets alarm, and yet mine dos seem to be extra senertive on 2 clicks? sorry i never asked about 3 clicks,

Mine does nothing on a 3rd click. Maybe there are some dealer settable options?
