Aveo Anti-Theft Alarm Error

My 2013 Chevrolet Aveo with a gasoline engine is having anti-theft alarm issues. I'm getting an error stored and the alarm is completely non-functional. I suspect it's related to the alarm system being coded to activate the optical locking (indicators). Has anyone else experienced this?

A 2013 Chevrolet Aveo owner experienced issues with the anti-theft alarm system, which was non-functional and showed an error. The problem was suspected to be related to the alarm system's coding for optical locking. After checking the battery and considering sensor issues, it was determined that the problem was indeed a coding issue. The solution involved recoding the system at a workshop, resolving the error.

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my Aveo. The car alarm was acting up after a power failure. Did you check the battery? Sometimes a weak battery can cause weird issues with the anti-theft system. Also, have you looked at the alarm sensor?

Thanks for the quick reply! I did check the battery voltage, and it seems okay. What do you mean by 'alarm sensor'? Where is that located, and what am I looking for?

Okay, so the 'alarm sensor' is more of a general term. It could be any of the door, hood, or even trunk sensors. Any of those malfunctioning could trigger the alarm. But if you're getting an error code pointing to the optical locking, it might be more specific than a simple sensor. Honestly, given the error code, I'd suggest getting it checked out at a workshop. Could be a deeper coding issue.

Thanks so much for the insight! I took it to the workshop, and you were right – it was a coding issue related to the optical locking as predicted. They recoded the system, and it's all sorted now. Cost me 45€ Appreciate the help!
