Wingroad anti theft system malfunction

Thanks. It seems to be random, not related to how long the car sits. Could a weak battery really cause such a specific issue, or could it be a faulty alarm sensor?

Random issues are the worst! Yes, low battery voltage can definitely cause weird anti-theft issues. The system gets unstable when the power isn't consistent. But if it keeps happening after you check the battery, you might need to visit a workshop. They should be able to fix it by recoding the system. Cost me 45€ back then.

Thanks for the battery info. Your experience makes me think a workshop visit is needed. I went to the workshop, and they had to recode the alarm system. The final bill was 45€. Thanks for the help.

Optical locking, huh? I had a similar problem with my Wingroad. First, check your battery and connections. A sudden power loss can mess with the alarm control module. Does it happen after the car's been sitting, or is it random?
