Captiva Anti-Theft Alarm Malfunction

Hi, I've got a 2011 Chevrolet Captiva with a gasoline engine and I'm experiencing an anti-theft alarm system malfunction. The mileage is at 127639 km. The error memory has stored an error, and the alarm system is currently non-functional. I suspect the alarm system is coded to activate optical locking (indicators). Has anyone encountered something similar?

A 2011 Chevrolet Captiva owner experienced a malfunction with the anti-theft alarm system, which was non-functional and had stored an error. The issue was suspected to be related to the alarm system being coded to activate optical locking (indicators). After seeking advice, the owner took the vehicle to a local shop, where the problem was confirmed and resolved, restoring the alarm system's functionality.

Whoa, sounds like a headache! Have you checked the power supply to the alarm control module? Maybe a fuse or a loose connection?

Thanks for the suggestion! Where exactly is the alarm control module located? And what fuse number should I be looking for?

Dude, honestly, chasing electrical gremlins can be a real pain. If you're not super confident with electrics, I'd say bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. Could save you a lot of time and frustration!

Okay, thanks for the advice. I took it to a local shop. Turns out the alarm system was indeed coded to activate optical locking (indicators). The repair cost me 45€. Everything is working as expected now.
