Hi Guys,

n00b here with a '94 LS. I've noticed the keyfob gives me keyless entry, but I don't hear a beep/horn, nor do I see a "Security" LED as was common for Toyotas of this period. Did this era of LS come with a factory alarm? Or was it optional? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah! As far as I know the Ls400 came with a factory alarm from day one.,there should be a led on the cluster bezel

Stereorob- thanks for the reply. Is it just a single short keyfob press to lock doors and actvate alarm? Should I hear an electronic beep or horn for confirmation of alarm activation?

anybody have one of these first gens who can comment?

If you call the dealer service dept. they can tell you if it has an alarm by the vin.

My 91 has it. Roll the window down, lock the doors. Then reach in and unlock the manually. The horn shouldsound and the lights should flash.

does your car have this switch?

i have a 94 LS400 and when i hit the key fob i hear a beep and a red light blinks on the dash to tell you its "armed"......when i hit it again i hear a double beep and the red light goes off, it is now "disarmed".....it is possible to set the volume level on the "beep"

Yes, but...

...it doesn't do this.

Any ideas?

Another thing to try. From inside the car pull the trunk open lever. Leave the car and click the remote to lock the doors. Then lift open the trunk. If it has an alarm it will sound the horn like crazy. I get caught with this occasionally when I bring groceries from my trunk.

Thanks, guys. How would I go about deactivating the alarm once it's set off?

Just to reiterate, I own a 94 and YES it has an alarm that actually goes off. It has gone off a few times and if I real correctly you need to put the key in the ignition to disable it. The one button locks and unlocks the door. I also have the "security" blinky light.

To turn it off you should be locking/unlocking the door with the key. I'm not sure about the remote though. Mine is broken and I'm not gonna spend hundreds of dollars for a new key.

just to ask the obvious, did you replace the battery in the key?

Turns out the beeping is just a whole lot quieter on this car vs. my LX. It's there if you listen for it, though.

Can someone tell me:

1. Where is the security LED inside the car?

2. Detailed instructions on how to disable the alarm once it goes off? (In my LX, I have to put the key in the ignition and turn it on and off 3x in a row).
