EMehari anti theft alarm malfunction

I've got a 2016 Citroen EMehari, electric engine, and I'm running into a weird issue. The anti-theft alarm seems to be malfunctioning. I'm getting an error stored in the error memory, and the alarm system isn't working at all. Mileage is at 153377 km. Anyone else seen this?

Oh, that sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my EMehari. Is it perhaps coded to activate the optical locking? Like, when you lock it, do the indicators flash?

Optical locking? What do you mean exactly? How would I know if it's coded that way? Is that a common problem?

Yeah, optical locking! When the alarm activates, it's supposed to flash the indicator lights. Some systems get buggy and it messes everything up. I'd bet that's your issue. Honestly, I spent ages messing with it. Save yourself the headache and just take it to a workshop. They can recode it. It's probably a quick fix.

Thanks for the tip! Took it to the shop, and you were spot on. Turns out the alarm system was indeed coded to activate optical locking, which was causing the issue. Recoding fixed it. Cost me 45€ Appreciate the help!
