How to Deactivate a Car's Anti-Theft Lock?
2 Answers
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a period of time, wait for the engine's protection data to clear, and then reconnect it. Generally, a disconnection of about 10 seconds is sufficient. Due to frequent use, some buttons may wear out, causing the remote control to become less responsive. It is recommended to have the remote control inspected and repaired. If there is an issue with the central control of the car's anti-theft device, it is advisable to first check the circuit and replace the controller if necessary.
I've been driving for over twenty years and have encountered the issue of the anti-theft lock activating several times, each time handling it properly. The solution is to first try the key itself; if the remote fails, it might be due to a dead battery—replace it with a new one to see if the signal is restored. Some car systems will automatically recover after waiting a few minutes, so don’t rush to make random adjustments. The physical key is usually hidden inside the remote; find the small hole on the door handle, insert the key, and twist to open. If you really can’t figure it out, it’s best to check the emergency unlocking steps in the user manual, as they vary for each car model. Once, my car wouldn’t unlock in a supermarket parking lot after locking it, but after patiently waiting for about ten minutes, the system automatically unlocked. Later, I found out the remote was damp. Remember, don’t force it or disconnect the battery cable, as this can easily damage the circuits. The safest approach is to directly contact a 4S店 technician for on-site assistance—safety should always come first.
