I own a 2006 Acura TL and my alarm goes off when I tried to jump start another car. Once I take one of the jump cable off the alarm stops. What seems to be my problem?
Alarm usually monitors the battery voltage, taking something less than a minute to allow the battery voltage to settle and then latch on to it. After that happens any sudden drop in voltage such as caused when a door is opened or the ignition turned on will trigger the alarm when it is armed. The alarm should automatically disarm when the car is unlocked by key, card or remote.
I can only guess the alarm isn't disarming as it should or you are jump starting while the alarm is armed.
