Alarm Going off
 

Hi
The last couple of weeks, the alarms gets activated randomly. First I thought it was a window/door left open but I have checked every time and does not seems to be the case.

A few times I got the Hood Open alarm and had to stop and open/close.
I will assume the above could be related but can't find the root cause; do not know where the hood sensor is or if there is a bigger electrical malfunction going on.

Any ideas?

(3.0si, parked outside, has been raining/snowing lately...)

Thx.

Hood sensor is in the latch itself. Not sure if left or right. Hard to see.

Thanks! (I assume i can read the DWA memory and identify the reason for the alarm going off.....will check if I can do this with Carly or if I need something else...)

Antitheft Alarm System (DWA)

The function of the anti-theft alarm system (DWA) is integrated in the roof function centre (FZD) control unit.
DWA alarm activations

The last 10 alarm activations are stored in the DWA alarm memory.

To read out the DWA alarm memory in the function and component selection, select the line ”DWA activations” and start the test module.

Customer complaint - false alarm

Procedure in the event of the customer complaint 'false alarm':

Read out the DWA alarm memory (test module 'DWA activations').
Check all the sensors that caused an alarm.
During the check, take account of the fact that a mechanical fault can also be responsible for a false alarm (example: engine compartment lid, door or luggage compartment lid does not close properly).

Why don't you try to check the connection inside? I think it is probrably a cause
