The glass breakage sensor is part of the vehicle's security system designed to detect the sound of breaking glass, triggering the alarm system to prevent theft or unauthorized entry.
To test the sensor, gently tap the window with a metallic object while the alarm is armed. If the sensor is functional, the alarm should trigger upon detecting the sound.
The glass breakage sensor is typically located near the interior mirror or integrated into the overhead console. Refer to the vehicle's manual for the exact location.
Some models may offer sensitivity adjustments through the vehicle's security settings or a dedicated adjustment knob. Consult the manual or a professional for guidance.
Check for loose items near the sensor that might cause vibrations, and ensure the windows are not excessively dirty, as both can lead to false alarms. Consider adjusting the sensitivity if possible.
Replacing the sensor typically involves removing the interior trim around the sensor location, disconnecting the old sensor, and installing the new one. It's recommended to consult a professional for this task.
