Trax Anti-Theft Alarm Issue

I own a 2013 Chevrolet Trax with a diesel engine, mileage is at 166423 km. I'm experiencing a malfunction with the anti-theft alarm system. The error memory shows an error, and the alarm system isn't functional. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2013 Chevrolet Trax owner reported a malfunction with the anti-theft alarm system, which was not functioning and showed an error in the memory. The issue was identified as a potential software glitch related to the system's optical locking feature, which attempts to flash the indicators when alarming. The suggested solution was to have the system reset at a workshop, which successfully resolved the problem.

Hey, I had something similar happen with my Trax. Is the alarm coded to activate optical locking? Like, does it try to flash the indicators when it should be alarming?

Optical locking... indicators... can you explain what I should look for or check?

Yeah, mine was trying to flash the lights even when it wasn't supposed to be alarming. Seems like a weird software glitch. Honestly, just take it to a workshop. It's probably faster than messing with it yourself.

Thank you for the advice. The alarm system was indeed coded to activate optical locking. A reset at the workshop fixed it. Repair cost was 45€. Appreciate the help!
