KTS does the job fine. I think you can go in through a different Menu. ( But if you do, KTS tells you which one to use ).

Hi.My limited experiences of this system using the AD pro have all been quite bad.No "switch off" ability that i know of, and be warned that should your customer decide to opt for a new sensor, i have not been able to code in a valve successfully as yet.Regards Andy.

you can get the procedure off the Autodiagnos website for coding of valves (but haven,t tried it yet),but not to disarm the system.it just seems odd to develop the software to access the system and to recode, and not be able to disarm.
Any idea,s what menu you entered to disarm.
And many thanks to all who are taking the time to help sort outthe prob.
would like to hear from AD.though. andy amor where art thou.

Hi Shaun, the system can be turned off without any problem on any car up to approx mid 2001.On the later cars when you turn it off the red STOP sign stays on in the dash panel.The easiest way to program the valves is with the excitation tool, 2 min job for all valves.I use the ALFA tool as it was easier to obtain from ALFA than Renault.
I think the bulb is an led in the dash and if removed you will probably get another (STOP)light coming on as a back up.
