Escape Anti Theft Alarm Malfunction

Hey, I've got a 2023 Ford Escape with a gasoline engine that's throwing a weird code. The anti-theft alarm seems to be malfunctioning. I'm getting an error stored in the memory, and the alarm itself is non-functional. Mileage is at 103478 km. Anyone seen this before?

A 2023 Ford Escape experienced a malfunction with its anti-theft alarm, which was non-functional and stored an error code. The issue was identified as being related to the alarm system being incorrectly coded for optical locking. The solution involved reconfiguring the alarm settings, which resolved the problem.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had something similar happen in my Escape, it was driving me nuts! Was the alarm system coded to activate optical locking (indicators)?

Optical locking? I'm not sure. I haven't touched any settings. How would I check that, and what does it have to do with the alarm going haywire?

Yeah, it's like trying to build a house on sand! I didn't even know about it. Mine did the same thing until I took it in. Best to get it looked at. They'll sort it out quick.

Right, thanks! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on! The alarm was indeed coded for optical locking, and that was messing things up. A quick reconfigure and 45€ later, it's all sorted. Appreciate the pointer!
