For my 97, ddb, when I press my lock/unlock button on the remote to lock the car, I'll get a quick double flash of the signals and a horn beep after that. For my car this is normal operation, though it probably is possible to deactivate the horn beep if someone doesn't want it.

If I do that quick double-press to deactivate the motion sensors when locking the car, I get a long single flash of the turn signals, maybe 2 seconds long, and no horn beep, which tells me that it worked. This is also how my owner's manual details correct operation, and my manual is for a MY99 or 2000, I think.

To my knowledge there is no way to do this if you lock the car using the key in the door, and it must be done from the remote.
