planc Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yep you should be able to test the radar sensor by waving your hand through the window, some Toyota's with this alarm had a sepperate glass brakage sensor but the Celica didn't.

scorps1212 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Right i've had a look at that diagram you sent to my email, planc, and where the diagram says the sensor should be, there's nothing. I've got my handbrake next to the drivers seat, then an ash tray next to that and behind them both is the junk compartment. Here's a picture to show you. Was the diagram definitley for a gen 6 1997 GT? And once again i gotta use photobucket cause it its too big to upload. http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image343.jpg Can someone please tell me if there is definitely a sensor inside the car that sets the alarm off if a window breaks or someone's arm comes through an open window.

planc Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 It is located under the console out of view, you will either need to remove the centre console trim or try and get access by removing the gear gaitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps1212 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Ooooohhhhhhh. I see. So how will that pick up if anyone's inside the car without opening the door or boot? I thought there would have to be a sensor inside the car that set the alarm off when it detected someone inside it. How does this sensor work then if its hidden dude?

planc Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Microwave's are basicly sent buzzing arround the cabin but when heat from the human body is detected this interupts the waves and sets the alarm off, this is considered better than ultra sonics due to the waves filling every space in the cabin.

scorps1212 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Oh ok. Wicked. And the gen 6 1997 GT definitley has this system as standard? Thats quite cool man. I feel more relaxed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver gt Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Looks more like the solar sensor for the climate control to me. No. The JDM cars with Climate Control have the solar sensor in that position, but JDM cars don't have alarms and UK cars don't have Climate Control. If it's a UK car it's the ultrasonic sensor. And I'm pretty sure that UK gen6s don't have microwave or any kind of radar. If you haven't got the driver's handbook, the instructions for the alarm are here: http://www.celica-club.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Gen6_facelift_alarm Edited February 10, 2012 by silver gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solar sensor is indeed for climate control but if not fitted Toyota usually fit a dummy plug to cover the hole. If this car is a STD UK face lift with the factory fitted alarm with the remote as per your link the Radar sensor will be located near the handbrake lever under the centre console.

scorps1212 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Just read the link you posted, silver, and im a dickhead. Everytime I've been arming the alarm, I've been double pressing the button thinking it was a more secure lock. But now I've learnt that double pressing it, deactivates the interior protection. Well from now on im only gunna press it once. Cheers for the link dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
