3.9 TROUBlEShOOTING WhEN OBjECTS aRE CONTINUOUSly BEING DETECTED
Inspect for potential detection interference by vehicle trim, etc.
If necessary, unfasten the sensor mounting and — using the
slack in the harness — move the sensor away from the vehicle
and re-run the power-up test to verify if the system now operates
correctly.
See Section 1.10 for information about required radar clearance.
See Section 1.2 for information about relocating the sensor as
necessary.
If relocating the sensor solves the issue, end the test.
If no interference source can be located, and moving the sensor
out from the vehicle did not change the LED behavior during the
power-up sequence, replace the sensor.
Replace the radar sensor.
Re-connect all connectors.
Re-run the power-up test.
Do
both
LEDs
illuminate for 0.5
seconds, followed by
a continuous red
LED?
Does
the red
LED — alone —
illuminate?
NO
NO
NO
Operator reports that objects
are being continuously reported.
Observe the power-up sequence (See Table 1) with no
metallic objects within 15 feet of the sensor being inspected.
Is
the
power-up
sequence
completing?
(Do both the red and yellow
LEDs illuminate for a half-second,
followed by the red LED remaining
on for a further 5 (five) seconds,
followed by the yellow
LED illuminating and
staying ON?)
YES
YES
YES
For any other conditions,
call 1-800-AIR-BRAKE
(1-800-247-2725), option 2
and speak with the Bendix
Tech Team.
Since the test did not find any
evidence of a sensor malfunction,
inspect the connectors and harness
for damage and/or corrosion, etc. that
could lead to an intermittent problem.
Re-connect all connectors.
Re-run the power-up test.
