Why is the Mazda anti-theft lock light flashing continuously?

[VanBentley]

Generally speaking, after the owner presses the lock button on the smart key, the car's anti-theft system activates, and the anti-theft light will flash. Many owners mistakenly believe that the continuous flashing of the anti-theft light indicates that the car is not properly locked or worry that it will drain the car's battery. Below is an introduction to the vehicle anti-theft indicator light: 1. If the car engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, this is normal. It indicates that the car's engine has entered the anti-theft state, and the engine anti-theft system is functioning properly. This is a normal phenomenon, and the owner does not need to deactivate it. Moreover, the power consumption is minimal and poses no problem to the battery. 2. If the battery is dead, the vehicle anti-theft system will lock the car, making it impossible to deactivate the anti-theft system via the remote control, open the doors, or start the engine. In such cases, you will need to use the mechanical lock to open the car and either jump-start or replace the battery.
