Help: Stock Alarm / Shock Sensor problem. - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have asked this question a long time ago but I did not get much help. Hoping to get this resolved.

My car have a shock sensor which is under the steering column, slightly above the brake pedal.

It is a original toyota alarm. I think it was installed by Toyota when the 1st owner bought the car.
Part No: 00014-S0274
Looks like original Toyota Equip.

Should be a Toyota RS3200 alarm. I did a lot of search on google and also TN but not much info.

LED sensor should be blinking but it is not blinking.
I tried the dial on that alarm units in the pic below, it does not do squat.

Everything is connected right, meaning there is no lose hanging wires. Everything is secured tightly via wiretie.

The car lock/unlock and remote alarm is working. Meaning I open the door when the alarm is activated, it will honk.

Was unable to locate toggle switch as WhiteRabbit mentioned as it did not have one.

How do I activate the shock sensor?
Please anybody..

check to see that both ends of the shock sensors wire harness is plugged in.

does it light up when you tap it?

Does not lite up when i tap it or when the alarm is armed.

Checked cables and everything is plugges in. Not sure if there is a fuse but I check the fuse box and there is nothing for alarm. Checked the cable panel by the left leg rest and everything looks plugged.

if the alarm is working fine except for the shock sensor then its not a fuse.

is there any chance that the original manual could be found? Most alarms have the option to remotly disable the shock sensor when false alarms are occuring.

using a mulitmeter check to see if the red wire going to the sensor has 12volts. (might have to arm the system to test)

if not then cut the red wire and run a new 12volt (3 or 5 amp) FUSED line to the shock sensor and tape up the the end going to the alarm.

if that doesnt do it, then also cut the black ground and run a new one to the sensor, tape up the one going to the alarm.

the way the alarm is installed , it won't have any fuses in the fuse block. its fuses will be IN the alarms harness or IN the alarm. (in case i'm wrong about my assumtions check for these first)

Thanks techrat

Before I go cutting up wires and buy a multimeter, does anybody have a stock alarm manual that also covers shock sensor.
Apparently, when i got the car, it does not have it and the camry manual does not say anything.

yes said ur LED sensor doesn't blink then i might just be a simple problem the LED light has died and u just need a new one atleast that what i am think.

hey skewe, how many wires go into the shoch sensor?
if it has a 4 pin connection, i got an extra one lying around at home. It's not a stock toyota one but here are the specs:
KARR Security System
Model: KS-9495-4P
It came out of dad's RAV4 since we didn't want an alarm from the dealer. I don't know if the sensor works but we could give it a shot somehow. lemme know!
