My alarm keeps going off

Spectre · 04-09-2007, 05:41 PM

My alarm goes off at least 6 times a week. Mostly at night. I know it is not from animals jumping on it because I have set up cameras to see. I know it is not a low battery issue. anyone else having this problem?

I have a stock alarm that comes with the 2001 4runner.

Probably have it set on "Drug Dealer". Turn down the sensitivity before the neighbor finds his baseball bat.

Where can I adjust the sensitivity?

drguitarum2005 · 04-09-2007, 07:25 PM

find the ECU for the alarm and there *should* be a little dial somewhere on it for senstivity, would probably require a small phillips head to turn

Yeah, my freind had hers so sensitive that if you walked within 3 ft of it, it would go off...she ended up getting a ticket for it!! But it was a nice car though... Dark blue mistu mirage with a evo body kit!!! Very nice car!!! Untill she wrecked it!!!!

Mine must have been bumped or something because when I was stationed at Dyess AFB it would not even go off while the B-1Bs would take off on a cold day with full afterburner... not is goes off if you even think of touching it.
