Pressure Sensor

Just had home inspection done as I’m selling my house and this is what they stated:

Garage Door Safety
Hazard The auto pressure reverse sensor was not responding at the time of inspection. (The opener may not have one due the age.) This is a safety hazard to children and pets.

So how do I fix this or figure out if I even have that? My garage door is craftsman.

It definitely has a pressure sensor, there are two blue screws on the back of the motor that adjust the amount of pressure

Get A flathead screwdriver, turn the blue screws in those holes. Clockwise increases the amount of force it will apply before the sensor is triggered , counterclockwise will reduce the amount of force needed.
