How to turn off the Tomahawk 9030 alarm without a key fob

Tomahawk brand alarms have one feature - if the PIN code is not configured, you can easily disarm the car. To do this, find the Override button and press it a certain number of times, turning on the ignition first. Then the ignition is turned off and security is deactivated. This rule is met even for such a model as the Tomahawk tz 9030. The above also applies to signaling devices of earlier families. Next we look at how to protect yourself from theft to the maximum. Enjoy reading.

Disabling Features

If the device is faulty, then it is imperative to turn it off. In order to perform this action, you need to become familiar with the car alarm device. It includes the following parts:

• Main unit;
• Led indicator;
• Antenna;
• Keychain;
• Service button;
• Shock sensor.

Absolutely all tomahawk alarm models are characterized by the presence of instructions that tell how the device is disarmed if it does not work.

If it is missing, you must press the second button on the key fob. This device is equipped with an LED indicator and two buttons, so finding one of them will be quite easy.

The button must be pressed once. After this, the siren will give two signals, during which the side lights will flash. The vehicle doors will then open on their own. The car's headlights will also go out.

This is interesting: What is the button on the automatic transmission lever used for?

Documented security mode capabilities

The Tomahawk tz 9030 system is configured by default so that you can disarm the car without a key fob:

1. Open the door to trigger the sensor and turn on the ignition;
2. The Override button is pressed 3 times;
3. Then the ignition is immediately turned off (security is deactivated).

Let's try to rectify the situation. When programming, it is enough to assign option 5 any new value.

"Step 2" will then be replaced by entering the first digit of the code. And the second digit contained in the PIN code is reported to the system in the same way: turn on the ignition, carry out “step 2”, etc.

Programming mode

The reader probably realized that you need to gain access to programmable options. We will proceed like this:

1. Check that the security is not active and the ignition is turned off;
2. Press the Override button 5 times;
3. The ignition is turned on;
4. 5 beeps should sound;
5. Single presses of the button select the option number.

Next, according to the instructions, set the value. To do this, press one of the keys on the key fob (see table).

Let's say in "step 5" you pressed the button 5 times and then selected the value "greater than 1". The alarm will no longer disable security if you follow the basic algorithm (three clicks of Override).

During operation you will have to use a PIN code:

1. You need to open the door and turn on the ignition;
2. The Override button is pressed a number of times equal to the first digit of the code;
3. The ignition is turned off, then turned on again;
4. Enter the second digit and turn off the ignition.

The standard instructions contain the same sequence, and the note says that if the PIN code is not specified, the following numbers will do: 1 and 1.

As you can see, it has not yet been possible to increase the resistance to hacking. The instructions mentioned above may fall into the hands of an attacker; moreover, its text is available on websites. There is only one thing left to do - change the code.

Setting new code digits

Let's again open the instructions included with the Tomahawk tz 9030 signaling system. It says the following about setting the PIN code:

1. Disarm the car, turn off the ignition;
2. Press the Override button 4 times;
3. The ignition is turned on, 4 beeps sound;
4. Press the Override button, select the value of the first digit;
5. Press the button again and set the second value.

The selection of values ​​must be carried out according to the figure:

A number greater than “4” cannot be set in principle. But this makes a certain sense: during operation, the service button does not have to be pressed many times.

Arming

Standard option

To arm the car, you need to take the remote control key fob and press button No. 5 “Lock”. The alarm will emit one short trill, the lights will flash on and off, and the central locking will be locked. In this case, the LED indicator will blink evenly.

IMPORTANT: If at the time of standard arming any of the triggers is active (for example, the door is open in the car), the system will notify you of this with 4 flashes of dimensions and 4 short trills of the alarm.

Night option (no sound)

At night, you can arm your car in silent mode. To do this, click on button No. 2 “Silent security”. The system will lock the central locking and the lights will flash once. The LED will blink evenly.

ATTENTION! In silent mode, the siren is disabled, but all current information is displayed on the LCD screen of the key fob.

Arming with the engine running

To activate the mode, perform the following steps:

• We start the car engine.
• We get out of the car, close the doors, hood and trunk.
• Press button No. 5 “Lock” - the door locks are blocked.
• Immediately (within 3 seconds) press button No. 5 “Lock” again - the dimensions flash and go out, the alarm emits one short trill.

Automatic arming

Press button No. 4 “Key” and hold it until the key fob beeps. After that, click on button No. 2 “Silent security”.

How to register a key fob

Up to four remote control key fobs can be registered in the system. Even a beginner can handle the registration procedure:

• Turn off the ignition.
• Press the Override button seven times.
• We turn on the ignition - the alarm emits seven short trills.
• On all key fobs, in turn, press buttons No. 1 “Trunk” and No. 2 “Silent security” and hold for a second. After recording the first key fob, the system will emit one short signal, after recording the second - two signals, and so on up to four. If the interval between recording key fobs exceeds 6 seconds, the system will exit the programming mode.

ATTENTION! Every time you register new key fobs, you will have to register the old copies as well. Information about lost key fobs will be permanently deleted from the system memory.

To find out how many key fobs are registered in the system, we perform a number of simple steps:

• turn on the ignition;
• press button No. 1 “Trunk”;
• We watch the LED: how many times it blinks, the number of key fobs is registered in the system.

Engine starting

Remote engine start (silence)

Press button No. 4 “Key” until the key fob emits a melodic trill (the LED on the additional key fob turns green). Immediately (within 3 seconds) press button No. 4 “Key” again. The system will close the doors and start the engine. The LED will remain on continuously and the parking lights will flash (if programmed to do so when installing the alarm). We perform remote engine shutdown in the same sequence.

Automatic hourly engine start

Press and hold button No. 4 “Key” until the key fob emits a melodic trill (the LED on the additional key fob lights up green). Immediately after this, press button No. 5 “Lock”. The system will notify you that the mode is turned on with two LED flashes, and the inscription “2-1 DAILY” will appear on the LCD display. Once the function is activated, the system will start the engine every 1/2/4/24 hours. The autostart interval is programmed when the alarm is installed.

Automatic engine start at a given temperature

Press button No. 5 “Lock” until the sound signal (the LED on the additional key fob lights up green). Immediately press button No. 4 “Key” - the inscription “1-2 TEMP START” will appear on the key fob display and the temperature value at which the engine will start (programmable parameter) will be displayed. As soon as the temperature reaches the set point, the system will start the engine to warm up. The engine warm-up time is additionally programmed.

How to set up an auto-start Tomahawk alarm

Budget Tomahawk alarms have limited autostart configuration options. Security systems in this price segment are purchased for cars that are simple in design, where special flexibility in settings is not required - but Tomahawk is both cheaper and easier to install yourself.

Setting up autorun Tomahawk TW-9010, TW-9020, TW-9030

These older alarms use the Override button (traditionally called Valet on other alarms) for programming. To enter the programming mode, press Override 6 times with the ignition off. Next, turn on the ignition, the siren will confirm the transition to the settings menu with 6 beeps. Select the appropriate function by pressing the Override button the number of times corresponding to the function number. After this, Tomahawk will report the number of the selected function in the form of a set of signals, where the short one is 1 and the long one is 5 (a series of two long and three short signals means that function 13 is selected). Next, by pressing the button on the key fob, the desired function value is set from 1 to 4, where 1 is the arming button, 2 is the autostart button, 3 is trunk opening and 4 is “crossed out speaker.”

The autostart operation of the Tomahawk TW-9010 concerns the following functions:

1. Engine operating time – 5,10,15 or 20 minutes. The default is 10 minutes, in winter it is better to increase this time.
2. Temperature for auto warm-up. Please note that it is measured by the alarm system in the cabin, and not by the engine. Setting options are from minus 5 to minus 30 degrees, the default is set to minus 10.
3. Starter cranking time: 0.8 s, 1.2 s, 1.8 s or 3 s. By default, the starter turns on for 0.8 seconds. When using tachometer control, the Tomahawk will automatically disengage the starter when it detects engine starting, so set the crank time to 3 seconds. With other control methods, on the first start attempt, the starter is always turned on for a specified time, and each subsequent start attempt lasts 0.2 s longer. In this case, it is prohibited to set the scrolling time to 3 seconds!
4. Engine control option. There are three options: 1 (default) – based on the voltage in the on-board network, 2 – based on the oil pressure warning lamp, 3 – based on the tachometer signal. Strive to use the third method, as it is the most accurate and safe for the starter. To correctly determine the start by tacho signal, the alarm needs to learn idle speed. To do this, when you turn on the ignition, press the Override button 9 times, then turn off the ignition, listen to 9 siren signals and start the engine. As soon as the engine speed drops to normal, press the Override button once until the beep sounds. If instead of a single signal the siren gives 4, this means that the selected tacho signal source is not recognized correctly and cannot be used by it.
5. duration of activation of additional channel 2, to which the immobilizer crawler is connected if necessary. Switching on options: 0.8 s, 10 s, 30 s or constant switching on for the entire autostart time. The choice depends on the operation of the immobilizer in a particular car: if the car stalls after working for some time, change the function value from the default 0.8 s to a longer time until you achieve normal operation.
6. control of the IGN 2 power cable and central locking during autostart. If your vehicle has two independent ignition switch circuits, you will need to use circuit IGN 2 and program it accordingly. In option 1, the IGN 2 circuit is turned on, the central locking does not lock at the time of autostart (more precisely, it retains the state at the time of autostart). In option 2, the IGN 2 circuit is disabled, as is the autostart control. In option 3, IGN 2 is used and an additional locking impulse is sent to the central locking system. In option 4, only the central locking control is activated.
7. delay between turning on the ignition and starter during autostart. Option 1 is a two-second delay for gasoline engines, option 2 is a 10-second delay for diesel engines with glow plugs.

For Tomahawk TW-9020 and TW-9030, the autorun settings menu is different.

1. Operating mode of the IGN 3 output (turns off when the starter is running/does not turn off when the starter is running/turns on for the entire time the starter is running/turns on before the starter).
2. Monitoring engine operation and starter activation time. In options 1 to 3, the alarm detects the engine starting based on the oil pressure lamp, the starter is turned on for 0.8, 1.2 or 2 s. In option 4, control is carried out using a tacho signal, the maximum scrolling time is 3.6 s. There is no voltage control in the network, as on the TW-9010.
3. Type of gearbox and mode of preparation for autostart. Option 1 – automatic transmission, no need for “soft neutral”. Option 2 – manual transmission and automatic program neutral, which is activated every time the handbrake is pulled while the engine is running. Options 3 and 4 are a “safe algorithm”, when after pulling the handbrake you must press and hold the disarm button until the sound signal sounds, and then press it again.
4. Engine type (1 – petrol, others – diesel).
5. Turbo timer operation (off/1 minute/3 minutes/6 minutes).
6. Warm-up time (5/10/15/20 minutes).
7. Periodic autostart interval (1 hour/2 hours/4 hours/24 hours).
8. Arming during auto start (active in option 1).
9. Control mode for headlights or turn signals during autostart (flash/on constantly/off/off).
10. Impulse to close the doors at the end of autostart (supplied in option 2-4).

Periodic autorun is enabled using the Override button. To enable autostart based on temperature, press the button 5 times with the ignition off; to enable daily autostart, press the button 4 times, then turn on the ignition. Now, using the Override button, you can turn on or off the selected autorun mode - after each press, Tomahawk will report the status with 1 signal (on) or two (off). To save the setting, turn off the ignition. If daily start is selected, then the car will automatically start and will start at the same time every day.

How to configure autostart on Tomahawk 10.1 alarm systems

This alarm system differs little from the previous series in terms of the setup principle: the procedure for entering the settings menu and further steps for selecting the desired function are similar to the TW-9010. Functions 1 to 5 are absolutely identical. The differences go further:

• function 7 allows you to configure the Tomahawk to work on vehicles with a “Start-Stop” button (options 3 and 4);
• the difference between these options is in the functioning of the black and yellow wire: in option 3, the pulse is sent after several unsuccessful startup attempts, in option 4 - after each. The functioning of this wire is set according to the operating algorithm of the “Start-Stop” button in a particular car;
• function 17 now controls the central locking, and according to a modified algorithm. In option 1, additional central locking control is completely disabled; in option 2, only a locking pulse is given at the end of autostart. In option 3, on the contrary, the locking pulse is given only at the beginning of autostart, and in option 4 - both at the beginning and at the end.

Problems with autostart Tomahawk

Since the autostart algorithms for alarm systems of this brand have changed little since the time of the Tomahawk TW-9010 (minor differences are due primarily to the introduction of support for Start-Stop systems), the information regarding this system can be applied to newer ones. On cars with a manual transmission, like other alarm systems with auto start, it will require the correct completion of the “software neutral” procedure. Moreover, here this procedure is set rigidly by the manufacturer and is not customizable by the user.

The soft neutral procedure includes:

1. Pull the handbrake with the engine running.
2. Press the autostart button on the key fob - after that, an indication of engine operation (a cloud near the exhaust pipe) will appear on its screen.
3. Remove the key from the ignition - if everything works correctly, the engine will not stall.
4. Get out of the car. When the door is closed, the engine will stop.

Compared to the common algorithm, where auto start is reserved immediately when the handbrake is pulled, this one is more complex. Often, users simply forget about the need for forced reservation with the button on the key fob or, on the contrary, do it before pulling out the handbrake.

In this regard, the automatic mode of the TW-9020 and TW-9030 is more convenient: you just need to pull the handbrake.

If, after correctly performing the backup in steps 1 and 2, the engine stalls and autostart does not work, then check the following:

• Does the alarm system “see” the handbrake being lifted? When it is pulled out and released, the corresponding indicator on the key fob screen lights up and goes out when the owner presses the button to check the alarm status.
• Does Tomahawk “see” the engine running? You need to know exactly how the alarm is connected. Monitoring engine operation by voltage (TW-9010) malfunctions when the generator malfunctions or the connection points of the power circuits are oxidized - in this case, the central unit will receive less voltage than is included in the algorithm as a sign of engine operation. When monitoring the oil pressure lamp, as a rule, there are no problems. If the alarm is configured to be monitored by a tacho signal, then try teaching the Tomahawk idle speed again, as described earlier.
• The last problem that can disrupt the operation of the program neutral is a malfunction of the driver's door switch. Without “seeing” the opening and closing of the door, the alarm will not complete the “program neutral”.

If “software neutral” completes normally, but startup attempts are not successful, pay attention to the following points. First of all, this is the starter cranking time if the operation control is set by voltage or oil pressure lamp. In winter, when the cranking time is set to a minimum (0.8 s), the engine does not have time to catch, but the thickened oil already manages to extinguish the pressure lamp. The next time you try to start, the Tomahawk will “see” the engine running before the starter turns on, and will not make any further attempts to start.

Therefore, the optimal setting option for Tomahawk is control by tacho signal, with the starter cranking time set to maximum.

On cars with an immobilizer, check that the crawler is working correctly. To do this, just after turning off the ignition, simulate an exit by opening and closing the door, and then try to autostart by placing the key in the ignition. If the immobilizer is not “seen” by the crawler, then at that moment the standard key at the lock will “see”, and the start will occur without problems.

In the lineman, pay attention to the placement of the chip relative to the internal antenna (ensure maximum overlap of the chip antenna turns, it should be directed perpendicular to the turns), try changing the position of the response antenna relative to the transponder winding on the ignition switch. It is worth finding an installation card for your car on the Internet - perhaps for the crawler to work correctly, it should be connected not with an overhead antenna, but in a break in the standard wiring.

If the engine starts and immediately stalls, try increasing the crawler operating time in the alarm settings. On different cars, the immobilizer works differently and polls the chip both once after turning on the ignition, and periodically while the engine is running. If in this case the crawler is configured to turn on for a short time, then at the time of the second poll the immobilizer will no longer “see” the chip and will turn off the engine.

Quiet Shutdown Features

Many users do not want to make a lot of noise when they need to turn off the device in an emergency. For this purpose, you can silently turn off the car alarm. To disarm the vehicle, you must press the first button on the key fob once.

After this, its second button is immediately pressed. The car's lights will turn on twice. In this case, disarming will be done completely silently.

In most cases, a person cannot disarm the car alarm using a key fob, since it does not work. This is due to a dead battery of the device. In this case, the device is turned off in emergency mode.

To do this, the car owner needs to get behind the wheel of the vehicle. After this, the ignition is turned on and off. This procedure is repeated as many times as the PIN code set on the device. If the device is faulty, then turn the ignition on and off at intervals of less than one second.

After this, you must wait for thirty seconds. The system will automatically disable the security mode during this period of time. Using this method, you can disable an old-style car alarm. This disabling method does not work for new devices.

What it is

Valet mode or simply service mode is widely used in car alarms of various configuration levels and budgets. When this mode is activated, key functions that perform vehicle protection tasks are deactivated. That is, in fact, the car is not protected. This mode is used in situations where the car is safe; it is impossible to disarm it completely, but it is also not worth turning off the system entirely. A striking example is the transfer of a car to a car service center. By turning on the Valet, the alarm will not go off and the technician will have access to the interior, trunk or engine compartment without any problems. In this case, the keychain remains with you.

If we talk about older models, then there is another purpose for the service mode. Previous security systems implied the need to switch to Valet if it was necessary to configure the system.

Usually, when installing a car alarm that has Valet, a special button is installed. They try to put it in the most accessible place so that an attacker does not have the opportunity to use it and disarm the car.

Never tell anyone where this button is. Even if you leave the car at a trusted car service center.

Valet is found on a fairly large number of security systems designed for vehicles.

In particular, they can be found on the following signals:

• Sherkhan Magicar;
• Sheriff;
• Tomahawk;
• Cenmax;
• Jaguar;
• Pandora;
• Ghost;
• Alligator;
• Starline, etc.

In fact, motorists have two main questions:

• how to remove the mode if it is enabled;
• how to activate it.

Somehow I personally encountered the fact that after activation I stubbornly could not disable Valet on my machine. I had to dig into the instruction manual. The problem was resolved quickly. But I advise you to first look at the instructions from your manufacturer.

Reasons for disabling the security system

It is necessary to completely reboot or unlock the “alarm” of a Tomahawk car if it is impossible to get into the vehicle interior. Sometimes the car engine does not start or the system does not respond to commands sent from the communicator.

Reasons why the user needs to reboot or urgently disable the security mode:

• The appearance of interference in the area. This problem is typical for large cities. Industrial enterprises, transformer substations, and large concentrations of mobile devices and radio equipment can jam the signal sent from the key fob. If the 434 MHz radio channel is busy, then the commands will be executed every other time or the alarm will stop responding to them altogether.
• The locking system is malfunctioning. Such a malfunction may be caused by a mechanical shock, a low car battery, exposure to moisture on the electrical circuit of the control unit, or a short circuit.
• Communicator failure. The user has to press the buttons several times to program functions or to disarm the car. If the alarm cannot be unlocked, this is due to either a mechanical or software malfunction of the key fob. The battery installed in the device may also be discharged.

Description and characteristics

Quite high-quality products from this manufacturer are entering the market, which are distinguished by reasonable prices, including when it comes to “top” models with a range of 434 and 868 MHz and built-in memory.

Here are just a few of their inherent features:

A large number of options certainly makes operating the car easier and more comfortable. For example, the remote start system allows you to automatically start the engine at a great distance in cold weather and get into an already warm interior when the car is warmed up, or in hot weather you can turn on the air conditioning in the same way.

The Tomahawk anti-theft system is designed to protect your vehicle from theft. If a thief gets into the car, the system will notify the owner with an alarm, block the engine, and the car will not move.

In addition, such protective systems have volatile memory: if the power is turned off, the system will remember all previously set parameters. The range of such devices is an impressive 1300 meters.

In what cases is it necessary to turn off the alarm?

An emergency shutdown, reboot of the alarm or its complete shutdown is carried out when faced with the impossibility of getting into the car. The car does not start or does not respond to the owner’s commands due to a malfunction of the key fob or a malfunction of the alarm system itself.

The main situations that can lead to malfunctions of the security system:

• The presence of a large amount of radio interference. This situation is typical of cities and noisy metropolises. Radio signals sent by a large number of mobile phones, Wi-Fi wireless networks and the presence of a large number of radio electronics negatively affect the operation of the device.
• The locking system is malfunctioning. This is a fairly rare type of failure, but it cannot be ruled out. Failure of the locking unit can be caused by a mechanical shock, a dead battery, moisture on the electrical circuits, or a short circuit on the board.

Factory reset

To return to factory settings, you need to:

• turn off the ignition;
• press the Override button 9 times in a row;
• turn on the ignition - the alarm will emit 9 short trills;
• press the Override button again - the alarm will emit one trill;
• press button No. 5 “Lock” on the key fob.

Additional functions

Search for a car

To find your car in a crowded parking lot or in the dark, you need to press button No. 1 “Trunk” twice within one second. At the same time, the parking lights will flash six times and a short trill of the alarm will sound the same number of times.

Panic function

You can use this feature to attract the attention of others. The ignition must be turned off. Simultaneously press buttons No. 4 “Key” and No. 5 “Lock” and hold them. The siren will emit three long beeps, the lights will flash three times, the doors will be locked, and the security mode will be activated.

Remote activation of Anti-Hijack mode

This mode allows you to return the car in case of violent seizure. To activate it, with the ignition on, simultaneously press buttons No. 4 “Key” and No. 5 “Lock”. At the same time, the LED begins to blink, the dimensions flash once. What happens next is:

• 30-60 seconds after activating the mode, the siren emits warning signals and the parking lights on the car flash;
• a minute after activation, the engine is blocked and the siren turns on.

Disabling Anti-Hijack mode

To disable Anti-Hijack mode, turn on the ignition and press the Override button for 3 seconds. The siren emits three short trills. Turn off the ignition. Anti-Hijack mode is disabled, but the car remains in security mode. If a PIN code is programmed, the Anti-Hijack mode can only be disabled after entering this code.

Shock sensor control

Setting up the shock sensor

If the car reacts too sensitively to passing cars, rumbles of thunder, or, on the contrary, reacts only to strong impacts, then it is necessary to adjust the impact sensor. There are screws on the sensor, tightening them clockwise increases sensitivity, counterclockwise decreases it. Having adjusted the sensor, we close the car, put it under guard and try to lightly hit the body. If the sensitivity is too high or low, open the car again and tighten the screws, adjusting the alarm to the desired value.

Disabling the shock sensor

After activating the security mode, press button No. 5 “Lock” on the key fob twice within a second. This will turn off the shock sensor warning zone. Pressing the same button again twice will turn off the main shock sensor zone. The same procedure turns on the shock sensor.

REFERENCE: This mode may be needed if there are passengers in a car parked on the side of a busy roadway and armed.

Alarm Features

The equipment has the most correct integration, which ensures an organic increase in anti-theft potential. If there is a threat of burglary or car theft, then the corresponding notifications are sent to the alarm key fob.

If this does not happen, then this means that the system is buggy. In this case, it is necessary to turn off and turn on the equipment. If after this the system does not work, then you need to use the services of a specialist.

Thanks to the use of modern technologies in the production of equipment, its noise efficiency is ensured as low as possible. The instructions contain detailed information. The security system is characterized by the presence of a mini-USB port, which is used to update the software.

The key fob has backlit pictogram buttons, which ensures maximum convenient use at any time of the day. The device uses LED indicators, which provides a high level of backlight brightness. Convenience during the use of key fobs is provided due to the coincidence of the functional purpose of their buttons.

How to turn it off if you have a key fob

There are two options for disabling the security mode using the remote control - standard and silent.

Standard method

You can turn off the Tomahawk alarm on your car using the remote control like this:

• The second button on the key fob is pressed; number 2 indicates controls with an indicator in the form of an open lock.
• The siren will emit a short beep and the emergency lights will go off.
• The door locks will be unlocked. External lights should turn off. The key fob may emit a confirmation beep and a symbol in the form of an open lock will appear on its screen.

Silent shutdown

The security system will be turned off in silent mode without confirmation sounds. Only external lighting devices connected to the anti-theft system are activated.

To disarm a car, you need to do the following:

• On the key fob, first press button 1, and then immediately control element 2. The vehicle's headlights will blink twice, the siren will not work.
• The car doors are unlocked. An icon in the form of an open lock will appear on the remote control screen.

Disabling the autostart system

If you need to disable this option, do the following:

• On the communicator, press a key with an indicator in the form of an open lock and key. This control must be held for two seconds until a melodic signal appears.
• The key with the locked lock “clicks” briefly.

Features of turning off a remotely started engine on X5 alarms:

• A key in the form of an open lock is pressed on the remote control. The button is held for several seconds until the communicator beeps.
• Within 3 seconds after the device is triggered, the button with the open lock “clicks” briefly, without being held down. The power unit should shut down and the alarm status will appear on the pager display.

Video: disabling the autostart system

User Ivan Vasilyevich in his video explained in detail how to set up the automatic engine start system and what you need to know about turning it off.

How to turn off the alarm

It is advisable to turn on the alarm when the engine starts automatically, but if you want to disable the option, perform the following steps:

• On the communicator, press the button with the “F” indicator. This key must be held down for five seconds. The device will play a sound pulse and the clock indicator will begin to blink on its screen.
• The "F" button is pressed four times.
• Then the key in the form of a crossed out speaker is “clicked”. An icon with the word “Off” should appear on the key fob screen.
• The “F” button is pressed for five seconds. This will deactivate the alarm.

Loss or damage to the anti-theft system remote control prevents free access to the vehicle. How to turn off the Tomahawk 9030 alarm system without a key fob? Your main assistants will be: the instruction manual and the precise implementation of all actions.

When should you turn off the alarm?

If you cannot get into the car (Tomahawk 9030 does not respond to commands given by the remote control, the engine does not start), then you should turn off the alarm in emergency mode. This occurs due to a breakdown of the key fob or in the event of a malfunction of the control unit of the security complex. The main reasons that caused a failure in the anti-theft system:

• radio interference interfering with communication between the switch and the alarm control unit. Often occurs in large cities, with tall buildings, large concentrations of mobile phones and other electronics;
• failure of the system control unit due to mechanical shock, short circuit on the board, or water entering the electronic circuit.
