Freightliner Cascadia Front Radar Sensor Location (2024)

FAQs

How to disable front radar on freightliner Cascadia? ›

On your question, unfortunately there is no way of bypassing this system. It is all integrated with many modules in the vehicle for cruise, stability, and safety systems. The radar will need to be replaced in order for the truck to operate as intended.

The radar is located in the front bumper of the truck, behind a plastic cover. It is connected to the video radar decision unit (VRDU) ECU, which is located below the powertrain CAN starpoint connector in the electronics bay module¹.

The front radar sensor is usually located near the car's front bumper. It can be blocked by dirt, snow, ice, mud, or other debris. To fix this problem, you should try to clean the sensor and the area around it with a soft cloth or a brush.

Front parking sensors are small devices that are located on the front bumper of a car.

They are located in the hub assembly and, along with the rear sensors, monitor the vehicle's speed and provide the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with the necessary information. The ECU also feeds the safety systems, speedometer, and odometer with this speed data.

SensorsHSA - Hill Start Assistance

HSA is an electronic parking brake, which is directly connected to the main brakes and the ESC system. It automatically prevents the vehicle from backsliding on inclines by activating the normal brakes.

SS 1034216 Detroit Assurance Radar Front. End Shipping Label. Applicable Vehicles: This solution is being written to address the Radar Front End (RDF) cover for New Cascadia vehicles, however the information being supplied, could relate to all Detroit Assurance forward facing radars.

Also known as 'limp home mode', limp mode is a security feature in cars which activates when the engine or transmission control unit picks up a fault. Once it detects a problem, limp mode will cause the less important parts of the car, such as air conditioning, to switch off, and the speed of the car will be reduced.

The ECU of interest for data imaging is the Video Radar Decision Unit (VRDU).

The video radar decision unit (VRDU) ECU is located below the powertrain CAN starpoint connector.

What is the SCR on Freightliner Cascadia? ›

A: SCR stands for Selective Catalytic Reduction. SCR simply adds a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust gas and filters it through a catalyst to convert NOx into nitrogen and water which is released into the air.

The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille. Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) (Search). The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following systems also use the radar sensors (rear).

If weather permits, get regular car washes to keep the sensors on your car clean. For do-it-yourself cleaning, use a mild automotive-specific detergent so you won't damage your car's paint. Be gentle in cleaning fenders, because salt and sand can be abrasive on paint.

A: Forward safety system disabled. Camera obscured. When the front windshield where the front view camera is located, front radar cover, bumper or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

Sensors are located behind a fascia cover near the driver side of the lower grille.

Typically that's an error message you'd see on a car with a collision avoidance, automatic braking or automatic cruise control function. In this case the car apparently uses radar t detect cars and obstacles ahead, and for some reason it's not working.

The front radar sensor facilitates fast, precise, and resilient object detection and tracking thanks to its long detection range, wide field of view, outstanding angle separability, and own chirp-sequence modulation feature. This makes it ideally suited to complex traffic scenarios.
