SM3 Anti Theft Alarm Error

My 2014 Renault SM3 with a gasoline engine has an anti-theft alarm system malfunction at 246432 km. There's an error stored, and the alarm is inactive. I suspect the optical locking (indicators) are being activated by the alarm coding. Any thoughts?

I had something similar with my SM3. I'm not sure about the error memory, but the alarm stopped working. Did you check the car battery? A weak battery can cause weird alarm issues.

Good call about the battery! I'll check it. When you say 'similar', did yours have other symptoms, or was it just a dead alarm like mine? Did the battery fix it?

Just a dead alarm, no flashing lights. I tried a new battery, but it didn't solve it. I had to take it to a workshop. Best to have it checked.

The optical locking setting was the problem. A quick recode and 45€ later, it's sorted. Thanks!
