Mopar EVS security system is too sensitive and goes off alot.

I'm trying to turn down the sensitivity of my alarm system on my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and need help. I have the owner's manual and it says you need both keyless entry transmitters to change sensitivity settings but I only have one. I've had the dealership adjust it before and they only had one so I know there is a way.

I got this from their website.

Adjusting the Shock Sensor Sensitivity
To adjust the shock sensor, disarm the system, press and hold Button #3 (Finder) until the alarm chirps four times
(approximately five seconds), immediately release the button. Tap your vehicle’s hood above the alarm at the sensitivity
level you wish. The harder you hit the car the less sensitivity the alarm will be. The alarm will then chirp three
times. The shock sensor is now set at this sensitivity. Any shock that is equal to, or greater than this sensitivity,
will sound the alarm. Set the sensitivity as often as you wish; however, the sensitivity level will remain set until
the battery is disconnected or you reset it. If you do not tap the car it will automatically go to maximum sensitivity.
This setting is only acceptable if the car is parked inside a garage. NOTE: The factory setting on the shock sensor
should be acceptable for most vehicles.

Hi!
I know it is annoying and frustrating to have this type of alarm problems, before you disable the alarm let's try to reset it.
In order to do this, let's set the alarm into valet/service mode, and try to reset the alarm to default mode.

Look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition key, press and hold in the button (little spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly) until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part, if installed, would still be operating. The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash should also go on solid.

At this point. the alarm would have reset. If this had a starter kill relay installed, it would now be opened, and the engine would turn over when tried.

You would repeat these steps to go back to user mode to see if this was corrected.

Let me know if it worked for your Jeep.

Good Luck!!

What kind of power stirring fuild does a 2006 jeep grand cherokee grand laradoe 4 .7 v8 take ?

Mopar reccomends using mopar brand hydraulic fluid / power steering fluid. DO NOT USE ATF. This will damage the system. Honestly i have never not used regular power steering fluid and have never had a problem. If you are refilling the entire system, I would use the mopar brand. If you're just topping it off you will be fine using any power steering fluid.

Our Samsung SEW-3030 won't stop vibrating. How do we get it to stop?

Adjust your sensitivity dial which is located side of your monitor. It might hard to find suitable sensitivity, but once you find, it will not vibrating.

OR

You can just put sensitivity dial all the way down to turn alarm function.

Hope this helps!

The mfg alarm system on my 2006 jeep commander intermittently has started going off. How can I temporarily disable the system?

There's really not very much you can do because of it being a factory alarm you will have to take it to the dealer and have them check it. They may just need to reduce the sensitivity (if too sensitive cars driving by and set it off). If it is bothersome and you have to do something about it, you can disconnect your cars battery until you can drive it in.

Make car alarm more sensitive

Locate the shock sensor. Using a small screwdriver you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. Move srew in only 1/4 turns as this will make big adjustments. Adjustments may make alarm too sensitive so try it out and see what works for you.

I have a viper 5900 car alarm installed with remote start.

Look under dash for a small black box with wires coming out of it, about 2 or 3 inches rectangular.. there should be one or two screws on it. Look to see if it says which direction to turn for sensitivity. As far as not receiving, you need a new antenna, this is covered under warranty through DEI either bring back to where you purchased or look online and see where the closest dealer is to you...
