Why is the reversing radar not responding?

It may be due to sensor malfunction or poor internal contact. Here is an introduction to reversing radar: 1. Introduction: Reversing radar, also known as "reverse collision avoidance radar" or "parking assist device." 2. Components: Mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, controllers, and displays. 3. Function: The reversing radar is a safety auxiliary device when parking or reversing the car. It can inform the driver of 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 defects.
The unresponsive reversing radar makes me quite concerned. I've encountered similar situations before while driving, and there are usually several possible reasons. The sensor might be covered by mud, snow, or dirt, blocking signal detection, so it's best to clean the sensor surface first. If that doesn't work, check if the fuse is blown. The fuse box is usually located near the center console, and replacing it with a new fuse might solve the problem. Wiring issues are also common, such as loose connectors or aged/broken wires, especially on bumpy roads. Control module failures are rare, but if they occur, professional diagnostic tools are needed. Once, my reversing radar didn't beep, cleaning didn't help, but replacing the fuse fixed it. I strongly advise not to ignore it—hitting an obstacle while reversing would be too late. Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent issues. If you're unsure, don't risk delaying repairs until it becomes severe. Safe driving comes first, so fix a faulty radar promptly.
