Why does the GAC Trumpchi GS8 radar keep beeping?
2 Answers
The GAC Trumpchi GS8 radar keeps beeping, possibly because it is too close to an obstacle behind the vehicle. In this case, the buzzer will start sounding to alert the driver about the distance to the rear obstacle. There may also be several other reasons causing the vehicle's radar buzzer to keep beeping: Signal Blockage: Something is stuck on the reverse radar sensor, causing signal blockage; Solution: Check if there is any obstruction on the radar holes at the rear of the vehicle. Water Pipe Leakage: The rear wiper water pipe is leaking or water has seeped into the reverse radar system; Solution: Seal the leak (or replace the pipe) and drain any accumulated water from the radar system.
I've been driving this GAC Trumpchi GS8 for several years, and the constant false alarms from the radar are really annoying. I think it's mostly a sensor issue, especially those radar probes at the rear of the car. They often get clogged with mud or bird droppings, affecting signal reception. If they're not wiped clean during car washing, the system misjudges obstacles nearby and keeps beeping. Another possibility is aging wiring or poor contact—the SUV's large body is prone to vibrations that can loosen connectors. Software bugs are also common; sometimes the GS8's system needs a firmware update, otherwise it gives false alerts. My suggestion is to first try cleaning the sensors yourself with a soft cloth to see if it helps. If that doesn't work, it's best to consult a professional to test the circuits with a diagnostic tool or reset the ECU. Driving safety comes first, so don't hesitate to get it checked promptly.
