Lights do not flash when Alarm is set.
 

Hi this is my 1st day with my 1998 Grand Voyager and the only problem i am having with it when i lock the doors and the car alarms I get no indection of this NO chirp or Flashing of the Indicators.

Please can someone advise what is suppose to happen when the alarm is set please and also if there is something wrong where to start looking etc.

Thank you

I'm not sure this will help but from my U.S.A. 2000 FSM:

DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft/Security
System (VTSS), the doors, liftgate, hood and
ignition circuit are monitored by the Body Control
Module (BCM) when the system is armed.

OPERATION
The VTSS will prevent the engine from starting
until the BCM receives a disarm signal. If the VTSS
is triggered, the horn will pulse, headlamps/marker
lamps will flash, and the VTSS warning lamp will
flash. If BCM determines the threat to be false and
the VTSS is not triggered again, the system will shut
down and rearm itself after three minutes. The VTSS
monitoring portion of the system is split into two sections.
The engine compartment section and the passenger
compartment section. If a malfunction occurs
in the engine compartment section, the passenger
compartment section would still arm and function
normally.

NOTE: If hood is not secure during the arming
sequence, the lamp will stay lit and not flash. The
system will arm with hood not secured (hood ajar
switch closed). System will not arm if passenger
compartment is not secure (all switches open)

ENABLING
To initialize the VTSS feature the operator must,
with the engine compartment hood open, cycle the
key in the liftgate key cylinder to the unlock position
giving the BCM a disarm signal. At this time the
visual alarm outputs the headlamps and marker
lamps will function. However the audio alarm output
the horn and engine disable portion of the VTSS will
not function until there has been four consecutive
engine run cycles. When this has occurred the total
VTSS will function.
If during alarm being set the BCM receives a
request from the RKE module to enter PANIC mode
the BCM will cancel the alarm, return VTSS armed
state and then perform the RKE PANIC feature.

My 2000 only sounds the horn when arming, i.e. no lights. I might experiment with the enabling section above to see if I can get the lights to flash also.

I am having the same problem. I have a 2009 T&C Touring edition and I cannot find how to re-enable this feature. For a full year whenever you arm or disarm the alarm the lights would flash. I had the car is for yet another round of recalls and when I got it back the lights stopped flashing....

Any thoughts?
