No relation. Our cars have motion and wind sensors. If your window is down a crack or if your sunroof is open (gotta be pretty powerful wind), it'll set it off. The button on the pillar right behind the front door will turn that sensor off.

 

alarm sounds like a bad ground (has there been another alarm fitted??) which is not switching off because it shouldn't go off if the car is started, as for the VSS sensor yes it can effect the rev counter if its got a poor connection

 

I was wondering what that button was for!

The alarm is stock and it only happened when the car was off.

 

then it could be the internal sensors need turning down, also heat sets them off but lets face it the internal sensors wont deter the scum thief wire the sensors up to a 50k volt jolt that will end there career of theft ( I think its illegal though )

 

the vss has nothing to do with rpm at all. the crank position sensor or maybe cam position sensor but thats about it. my question is what would a sensor on the wheel or trans (vss)have to do with how the car revs and idles? thats crazy talk man

 

listen mate Ive been doing cars for nearly 50 years so if you think im wrong then with tech to day show some pictures of your theory, im a little old so thing are confusing to us old farts

 

Thats cool man I dont want to get into an arguement over this thing. I guess Im not trying to say your wrong Im just having a hard time seeing what the vss has to do with rpm. I mean he isnt even moving for one plus I think they are two separate systems. Anyway when I get to work on monday Ill check out some wiring diagrams on AllData just for ***** and giggles

 

lol Ive thought about wiring the battery to the door handles before but i figured I would need to carry a rubber glove around just in case the system malfunctioned.

Even though there are no lights will an autozone scan give a code?

 

It might. I just know if they just give "P" codes or everything. its worth a shot I guess
