Cannot be turned off by yourself, you can only go to a 4S shop to have the staff turn it off. Here is the relevant information: 1. It should be noted that if the car engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is normal. This indicates that the car's engine has entered the anti-theft state, and the engine anti-theft system has started to function. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require the owner to deactivate it. Moreover, the power consumption is minimal, and it poses no problem to the battery. Vehicle anti-theft systems are divided into two types: body anti-theft and engine anti-theft. 2. The engine anti-theft system is generally displayed on the instrument panel. Within a few seconds after removing the ignition key, the anti-theft system starts to function, and the anti-theft indicator light begins to flash at a fixed frequency.
When the anti-theft light on my Trumpchi GS4 starts flashing, I usually first check if the remote key battery is dead. A dead battery is a common cause, so try replacing it with a new CR2032 battery. If the issue persists, attempt to start the vehicle with the spare key; sometimes there's a delay in key recognition, so try a few times to see if the light turns off. Another method is to disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery, wait 5-10 minutes, and then reconnect it, which can reset the anti-theft system. If the flashing continues, it may indicate an internal circuit fault, such as a damaged anti-theft module or sensor issue, and you should promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection. I generally recommend checking the key battery every six months to avoid similar troubles. After all, the anti-theft system protects the car from theft, and ignoring it may lock the engine, affecting driving safety.
