This sensor is set to detect the vibrations caused by breaking glass, but it can also be triggered by loud music, electrical storms, or high winds. If the sensor is too sensitive, it can trigger the alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the sensor is too sensitive, you can recalibrate it by resetting the electronic control unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The glass breakage sensor ECU is found behind the glovebox. On the ECU is a dial that allows you to set how sensitive the sensor is. You should consult the manual before setting the sensitivity as you may set it too low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that case, the alarm will not pick up the sound of breaking glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota RAV4 Alarm Not Turning Off (Causes and Fix)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3.jpg\" alt=\"Front of red SUV\" class=\"wp-image-2479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Front of red SUV\" class=\"wp-image-2479 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s little that can be as irritating or embarrassing as a car alarm that won&rsquo;t turn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longer the alarm goes off, the more embarrassing it becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a Toyota RAV4 alarm is not turning off, it could be a faulty battery, key fob, or a problem with the anti-theft system. Lock and unlock the doors with the key fob. Turn the ignition on for 30 seconds. This should disarm the system. If it does not, lock and then unlock the driver&rsquo;s door with the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the driver&rsquo;s door unlocked, get in and switch the ignition on for 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this also fails to switch the alarm off, it is most likely a fault with the anti-theft system and it will require a scan tool to identify what the problem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article and its contents are owned by Know My Auto and was first published on 06\/29\/2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scan tool will reveal any codes that may show up for the alarm and give the technician a clue as to what the problem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem could lie with the key, the alarm receiver module, or any one of numerous other input factors that may be causing the alarm to keep sounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A loose battery terminal can cause the anti-theft system to lose synchronization. To fix this, lock the car with the key and press the two buttons simultaneously on the key fob. Hold the buttons for about 2 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toyota RAV4 Security Light Blinking Car Won&rsquo;t Start (Causes and Fix)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4.jpg\" alt=\"Girl staring at phone screen\" class=\"wp-image-2480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Girl staring at phone screen\" class=\"wp-image-2480 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When the anti-theft system is triggered, it causes the security light to blink and prevents the engine from starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Toyota RAV4 security light is blinking and the engine refuses to start, leave the key in the ignition, and turned to the &ldquo;on&rdquo; position.

Do this 5 times, then turn the key to the start position and start the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alarm will then be disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Reset Toyota RAV4 Alarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7.jpg\" alt=\"Blue SUV\" class=\"wp-image-2483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-347x232.jpg 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Blue SUV\" class=\"wp-image-2483 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-335x224.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-347x232.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7-520x347.jpg.webp 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/KMA-Toyota-RAV4-Alarm-Keeps-Going-Off-7.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To reset the alarm on a Toyota RAV4, first ensure all doors are closed, then insert the key into the ignition. Turn the key to the &ldquo;On&rdquo; position, but do not start the engine. Wait a few seconds, then turn the key back to the &ldquo;Off&rdquo; position. Repeat this process two more times. After the third cycle, start the engine. This should reset the alarm system. If the alarm is still active, try using the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the ignition method, ensure that no issues with the door latches or hood latch are triggering the alarm. Sometimes, a poorly closed door or hood can cause the alarm to activate. Close all doors and the hood firmly. If the issue persists, check the battery in the key fob, as a low battery can sometimes trigger alarm issues. Replacing the battery in the key fob is a simple process and can be done at home. If these methods do not work, there might be a deeper electrical issue, and professional diagnostics may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-key-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Rav4 Key Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-window-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Rav4 Window Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-wont-start-0052\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Rav4 Won&rsquo;t Start<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-lights-not-working-0052\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota Rav4 Lights Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/toyota-rav4-tire-pressure-light-indicator-fix-reset-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Toyota RAV4 Tire Pressure Light Indicator (Fix\/Reset)<\/a><\/p><p><i>KnowMyAuto is the sole owner of this article was published on Jun 29, 2022 and last updated on <time itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2023-11-15\">Nov 15, 2023<\/time> .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toyota RAV4 is one of the most reliable and best-selling small SUVs on the market.
