1-3-2-4 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Maybe I did something wrong or did not program something right? Before when the door was locked and system was armed if I opened the door the alarm goes off, now it does nothing.. yes I got the keyless remote programmed but how do I at least get it back to alarm if a door is opened?

amm203 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Check this out - might help. Is it possible the system doesn't think all the doors/trunk is closed so it never arms to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amm203 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Reading the service manual some more; Try locking and waiting at least 30 seconds. There may be a delay before the system starts working. This is apparently an initial setting that a Subaru dealer must change to 0 seconds instead of the usual 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 There is a delay, at least on mine there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Mine I sat in it for 2 min and the security light flash blinks.. it blinks with the door open and key out.. I can't remember if it did if the key was turned to ACC, I'll be back at the car tomorrow anyways. If you try to lock the doors with it open it makes the sound letting you know the doors is not closed so I'm not sure what's the total deal.

Max Capacity Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Just checked my wagon, the light was blinking when I walked up to it. Car was locked, locked it over an hours ago. Had her unlock it, opened the door, light still blinks.closed door, not locked, light still blinks. Came in the type this. Went back out, The Spec, locked it two day's ago. It's light blinks twice every few seconds. The wagon blinks once every few seconds, still not locked. 2016 Outback, blinks but seems to take a few more seconds between blinks, it was locked about 4 ours ago. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 hmm this bothers me because it never did this before, does your alarm go off if you reach in to open the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 No. I sat in the car, used keyfob to lock, could not open the door, unless I unlocked using the fob or lock button. Don't know what I did, but once the alarm went off when I opened the door. Can't remember if I used the fob to do that unlock from the inside. Did notice once, the light blinked very rapidly, May be that is when the alarm went off after I opened the door from the inside. It's confusing. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

MilesA Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The security light blinks rapidly to indicate somebody has been messing with the car, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 The security light blinks rapidly to indicate somebody has been messing with the car, IIRC. but no matter how many times I lock and unlock it will still blink fast regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 but no matter how many times I lock and unlock it will still blink fast regardless As if someone has been messing with your door lock....trying to open the door when it's locked. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yes correct but no one has because I'm the one that set and locked it testing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yes correct but no one has because I'm the one that set and locked it testing it. Have you put the key in the ignition and started the car? That is what resets everything. You are basically tampering as far as the security system is concerned if the car is locked with the remote and you move the lock lever. It would be like someone using a tool from outside the car to force the lock lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to avoid having to take it to the dealer to get it setup correct again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I really wouldn't worry about it to much from what I understand your saying. Mine blinks about every 2 seconds normally. Hey I just walked out and looked, car has been locked all night. both cars are double blinking every second or two. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Tried it again tonight before I left It blinks fast for the 30 seconds when you lock then does the two blink after 30 seconds. I don't remember but I put the key in the door to unlock and nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
