-----Answer-----
I can only guess, but maybe your shock sensor? Could be the module itself, but we don't se many problems with those systems. It is possible you do not have a Subaru system, and if that's the case, I am really just guessing. You can e-mail me your vin at spwilkins@yahoo.com and I can tell you if you security system came from the factory.  Z

Answer
A shock senor detects movement in the car - like say when the car is shaken while someone trys to break in. Unless we know what kind of security system you have, I my not be of much help. Some system, it is on the passenger side, some on the drivers side - most system it is accessible under the dash or behind a kick panel.

good luck
