Why is the 10th-generation Civic's reverse radar not alarming?
2 Answers
If the issue is considered, it might be due to a faulty buzzer! Here is the relevant introduction: Safety Assistance: The reverse radar is a safety auxiliary device for parking or reversing the car. It can inform the driver about surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, eliminating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helping the driver overcome blind spots and unclear vision. Power Line: If the radar is not sounding, first check whether the power line of the radar host is properly connected and whether there is current supply; then see if the radar host line is loose.
As a Civic owner, I was really scared when my reverse radar didn't alert me last time, so I rushed to the 4S shop for inspection. The technician said the most common issue is the radar sensor being covered by mud or snow, which can be fixed by rinsing with a high-pressure water gun. It could also be a blown fuse located in the left fuse box in the engine compartment, and replacing it only costs a few bucks. Also, pay attention to the wiring connectors. Last winter, my car had corroded connectors due to water ingress from car washing, and the technician fixed it with rust remover. The most troublesome issue is the sensor itself malfunctioning, requiring removal of the rear bumper for replacement, with each sensor costing around 200 yuan. It's recommended to clean the sensors monthly, avoid blasting them directly during car washes, and if the alarm fails, try wiping the sensors clean first before sending for repair.
