How to Disable the Alarm in a 2000 Toyota Tundra
by Kelly ReeseThe Toyota Tundra has a factory alarm that acts as a deterrent to protect your vehicle from burglary. The lights flash and the horn sounds when someone tries to break in the vehicle or start the vehicle without the programmed key for the vehicle. You can activate and deactivate with the programmed key for the vehicle, the remote for the vehicle or by pressing the valet button. You can refer to the owner's manual for further information about the alarm.
