About Anti Pinch Sensors

The Chevrolet anti pinch sensor is a safety feature and part of the car alarm system. Used in cars with electric windows, its function is to detect when something obstructs the window or someone tries to break into the car through the window.

The Chevrolet anti pinch sensor is situated in the seal around the window and it is specifically set to detect when an obstruction or intrusion happens in the space between the edge and frame of the window.

In the case of an obstruction, the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor is in place to avoid, for example, an arm being trapped in the window as it automatically shuts and it does this by measuring the amount of power being used to close the car window.  If the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor detects extra power is being used to close the window, the system assumes that there is an obstruction preventing the window from closing properly.  The electrics of the car are either automatically disabled or the motor used to power the window forces it to change direction.  In the case of an intrusion, when the car is parked, the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor detects an obstruction, for example a hand or tool forcing entry, in the gap between the door frame and window, and this triggers the alarm.

If the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor is damaged or faulty you may experience symptoms such as the window not moving up or down, or it may move in short bursts and stop and start a lot, or you may need to keep pressing the button to get it to work. You will receive a warning light on the alarm system if there is a fault with the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor or if it is damaged in any way. Sometimes the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor can malfunction if it has been subjected to water or dirt, being located in the window seals this can be a problem. Due to the safety features of this device it is advisable to seek professional advice and, if necessary, replace the Chevrolet anti pinch sensor as soon as possible.

Chevrolet trivia

• The company might have his name, but Louis Chevrolet wasn't there for long. He'd previously worked as a mechanic for other car manufacturers, and would eventually go onto become a well-established race car driver for Buick.
• There's a version of the Corvette that is very different from its counterparts. The Corvette Grand Sport is much lighter than traditional designs, but the car was built at a time when General Motors were stopping projects. Only five of the cars were made, and the hefty price tag of £6-8 million means that they are all in the hands of private collectors.
• The first Chevrolet was the iconic series C Classic Six. It sold for the very low price of just $2,150. That's about £1700 in proper money.
• Chevrolet holds the number one and number three positions on the list of America's most popular cars. Although Ford's Mustang is in second place, the Corvette is the number one car in the US, with the Camaro at number three.
• When it comes to innovation, it's hard to get angry at Chevrolet for being the first company to install 4G wifi in its cars.
