Help with Alarm codes read with Durametic software?

I have a 99 C4 with 55K miles.

I randomly read the codes today under the ALARM heading using the Durametic software running on my laptop.

It read the following alarm codes:

60 central locking limit position not reached

33 no passenger compartment monitoring

21 no engine start possible

3 door lock barrel open.

The number of times DTC present for each code as 4 for Code#60, 3 for Code #3 and 1 for the other two.

I've not noticed any miss behavior of the vehicle or its locking mechanism, other than sometimes the car might not lock or unlock by remote key when I'm out of range.

I've searched this site and found noting about alarm codes, or alarm or faults, or alarm and any of those specific numbers.

Any ideas about what this means, and what if anything I can or should do about it?

I don't seem to be able to re-set these codes with the Durametric software. Is there a way to reset the codes?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Unless you are having alarm problems I would have them reset and see if any come back. At this time the Durametric Software can not reset alarm faults - you will need someone with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

Some of those can be caused by trying to lock the doors with them open or any movement sensed in the interior during arming.

In most cases these are arming errors - not really system faults.
