The red light of your Kinect sensor indicates that there is something wrong with it.

Are you receiving any one of the following error messages?

  • The Kinect Sensor can't move (C0051201)
  • The Kinect Sensor can't move enough (C005120A)

If so, here are the solutions:

  • First, you have to make sure that your console software is up to date.
  • Turn off your Xbox 360 console and check out the sensor carefully. If you find a piece of packing foam between the base of the sensor and the sensor head, you’ll have to remove the foam.
  • Never tilt the sensor manually. In addition, you need to ensure that there nothing is keeping the sensor from tilting up or down automatically.
  • The sensor must be positioned on a flat, level surface.
  • Now turn on your console to check the sensor.

If the problem still exists, you need to contact Xbox Support.
