I'd say something is off. Generally youd have 1 honk/chirp/flash for lock and 2 for unlock, thats standard for OEMs and aftermarket units. If you have your owners manual, double check the settings on the system, if not search the board for the procedure, it involves removing the radio fuse, using your ignition, and lock/unlock buttons.

This is how it's supposed to work. Also, if it's already armed and if I push the button again twice it will honk once.

It should do 2 quick honks when armed. 1 quick if a door or the hatch is not shut.
If it's 2 long honks with lights, the shock sensor may be bad from what I was told, that is the same sound it makes if some one bumps your car while armed. Mine will also do 2 long honks with lights if I hit the lock button again after arming it, not sure if that's correct though lol!

I did what Cripsy said using a PDF Pontiac Owners Manual for my car. I set mine up so it honks twice when I arm it and it just flashes the lights when I disarm it. I could've made it just flash lights for both, but I wanted to hear it as I walk away from the car.
