The invention discloses a device and method for detecting an automobile fording depth. The device can comprise a water depth detecting unit, a collecting unit, a control unit and an alarm unit, wherein the water depth detecting unit can comprise a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor can be used for detecting the fording depth of an automobile and outputting water depth signals for showing the fording depth, the collecting unit can receive and forward the water depth signals, the water depth signals can be received from the collecting unit, if the fording depth is judged to be larger than the pre-set depth according to the water depth signals, the control unit can send alarm information, and the alarm unit can receive the alarm information and perform early warning. The device for detecting the automobile fording depth can further comprise a GPS unit and/or wireless communication unit and a wireless terminal. When the automobile fords, the device can inform the owner timely and report the automobile fording depth and/or automobile GPS information to avoid property loss and loss of lives caused by road waterlogging to the greatest extent.
