Alarm going off by itself
My 2006 Cayenne S Titanium's alarm has just started going off by itself in my garage. It's just after midnight and I can't understand why this is happenning. The car is unlocked and the alarm shouldn't be going off. So I tried starting it up and then turning the car off. After a minute the alarm went off again. For about 30 seconds and then stopped for about a minute. Then on again. So I tried locking the car. Same thing happened.
I tried to disable the interior compartment and the inclination sensors but that didn't help.
Any suggestions?

Is it possible the computer controlling it is malfunctioning?
I think Km1.8t has the correct path though.
Isn't one of the alarm functions set off if the battery is disconnected?
Wouldn't this create the "loss of electrical input from the battery" signal to set off the alarm?
Good luck!

Can't speak for a P!G - but SWMBO's BMW 5-wagon does the same thing when the battery gets partly discharged. And even disconnecting the battery won't stop it - the alarm has it's own hidden battery on that car.
I'd suggest hooking a trickle charger up to it and see if that puts it to rest - if it does, time to use it more to get the battery up to snuff, or time for a new battery.

Thanks for all of the advice. That's what I was thinking as well. I'll have my battery checked out to see if it is time for a change. After all, it's now 5 years old.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could help me. I have an 09 cayenne s with the same problem, alarm goes off everytime I press the lock button. I tried pressing the interior alarm button and also the button by the driver seat but no luck. I saw a video about fuse #34 on the driver side dash but that was all good. I've read other treads and some people mention it could be a battery issue? 2009 cayenne S with 131000 miles. Please help

Micro switches in the Door lock actuators are also very prone to failing.
If you can get access to VDCS or PIWIS (not sure about Durametric) the alarm module stores the reason for the last activation.

I has a similar issue on my 2008 Turbo in 2012. The issue in my case was the electronic button assembly under the rear wiper to open the rear window. The car was in a very hot environment for 4 years (Sicily, Italy) and the inner isolation melted and the rain water was making a shortcut. For whatever reason it was triggering the alarm mostly at nights. Button assembly changed and no issue since.

So I did some troubleshooting with checking the doors so see if the red and white lights would stay on when closing each door and indeed they did. A friend scanned my car with his snap on reader and alarm codes 1135-04, 1134-00, 1134-04 and 1134-14 came up along with one kessy code... strangley, my fog light warming comes and goes so im thinking maybe I should start with getting the battery tested?

Does anyone know if it ruins your towing interface?

You need more info or you’ll just throw money at parts that may be fine.
Alarm module last activations.

Having second thoughts on not taking it straight to the dealer and just getting it done.

I would agree. Took mine to an Indy shop. Lost my soft close, they can't communicate with the module, on the rear door and had to take it back as it started again. Right now, it just beeps upon locking. Same behavior as before but it beeps instead of the alarm going off. So dropped it off again.
