What are the reasons for the radar not making sound in the Hongqi H5?

The reasons for the radar not making sound in the Hongqi H5 are: 1. The power cable of the main unit is not properly connected, resulting in no current; 2. The radar main unit cable has become loose; 3. The radar buzzer is damaged; 4. The wiring at the bumper is damaged. The working principle of the radar is that during reversing, it uses ultrasonic waves emitted by a probe installed on the rear bumper to hit obstacles and reflect infrasound waves, calculating the actual distance between the vehicle body and the obstacle. The functions of the radar are: 1. Accurately measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle; 2. Emitting an urgent warning sound when reversing to the limit distance to remind the driver to pay attention to braking; 3. Repeatedly emitting a voice warning sound to alert pedestrians.
The issue of no sound from the Hongqi H5 radar is quite common, and there are several possible causes. First, check the radar sensor, which is installed at the rear of the car and can easily be covered by mud or snow, blocking the sensing area and causing the sound to disappear. Cleaning it should solve the problem. It could also be an issue with the sound system, such as the volume being turned down or even muted. Look for the parking radar option in the car’s settings and adjust it back. Loose wiring is another common issue—aging plugs or unstable connections can affect the sound. Try gently wiggling the plug to see if that helps. There’s also the possibility of a blown fuse; check the relevant fuse in the engine compartment’s fuse box and replace it if necessary. From a safety perspective, the radar sound is crucial for parking assistance. Without it, reversing can easily lead to scrapes, so don’t delay fixing it. Regularly cleaning the sensor can prevent issues. Taking it to a 4S shop for repair is faster, as they can quickly diagnose the problem with specialized tools. I recommend starting with simple checks first—it’s cost-effective and efficient.
