Hi,

I have a Nissan Altima GXE 2000 model. This has a company remote. Locking/unlocking works fine. But there is a problem with security alarm. It beeps every now and then automatically ( even if I don't press alarm switch on remote ).I have removed the battery in the remote, its not beeping then. Then I found that its the problem with car remote.

Can anybody suggest me what should I do here?

I may have to change the remote alone. Not sure if I can do that way or have to buy the whole set again.

Thanks in advance.

If the lock and unlock work then the remote should be okay, to me it sounds like the alarm control module is going out, you should be able to do a CAN scan which will show a code for the failure. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is the location and how to change out the alarm control module to help fix the problem. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
