What Causes the Radar Malfunction in Geely Boyue?
3 Answers
Geely Boyue radar malfunction may be caused by unstable wiring or voltage. The function of car radar: The front car radar can detect the area in front of the vehicle and use warning sounds to help drivers judge the distance of obstacles ahead when parking forward, ensuring no collision with obstacles in the front blind spot. Currently, not many models are equipped with front parking radar. However, this function is very practical and convenient for beginners, helping them control the situation when parking forward or maintaining distance from the vehicle ahead in congested urban roads. Composition of car radar: The front parking radar usually consists of a front controller (host), sensors (probes, electric eyes), and an indicator (display, buzzer, or horn). Front parking radars with wireless functions typically add wireless transceiver devices to both the controller and indicator ends.
My friend and I often talk about radar malfunctions when driving the Geely Boyue. The most common issue is dirty sensor surfaces, such as when mud or snow covers them, causing them to fail. In summer, insect remains can also easily clog them, so it's recommended to regularly wipe and inspect them with a soft cloth. Physical damage is also common—small stones flying up or minor collisions can cause equipment damage, and repair costs can be high. Wiring issues, like loose connections or aging and broken wires, can occur after prolonged driving on bumpy roads. There are also software calibration errors or system update failures, which require a visit to the 4S shop for updates. When the power fuse blows, the headlights may also malfunction—simply replacing the fuse might solve the problem. For maintenance, clean the radar area while washing the car to avoid malfunctions affecting parking safety.
As a car enthusiast who likes to delve into details, I've observed that radar malfunctions primarily stem from hardware and software issues. Hardware problems include sensor contamination or damaged casings, which can lead to short circuits when rainwater seeps in; poor connector contact or aged insulation can cause signal interruptions. On the software side, system bugs or sensor calibration deviations, especially after a vehicle computer reboot, may trigger faults. Environmental factors like fog or strong electromagnetic interference can cause temporary failures. Preventive measures include regular maintenance, checking connector tightness, and updating firmware when necessary. Using simple diagnostic tools to test sensor responses is recommended for early detection, saving both money and hassle.
