TROUBLESHOOTING
Please read the following helpful tips if you run into any trouble installing this system into the
vehicle. These tips may also be useful if the operation of the system is not functioning properly.
Please make sure that the system is powered up and working properly before reading through
these tips. For normal operation, the unit should activate as soon as the system is shifted into
reverse. The buzzer should emit a sound to let you know the unit is powered on.
NO OPERATION:
1.
If you don’t hear a sound when the system is powered on or if you know there is an
object behind the vehicle when it is powered on and there is still no sound, check the
power and ground connections to make sure they are connected correctly.
2.
Solder the power connection to the reverse light wire if you can. If you have to use a
crimp connector, make sure the connector is clamped tightly around the wire and that the
spade connector is fitted tightly into place. Also, make sure your ground connection is
clean. If using your own screw and ring terminal for ground, clean the surface thoroughly
of paint, rust and dirt to assure the best connection
NO SOUND FROM BUZZER:
1.
Make sure the volume setting is turned to the LO or HI setting on the buzzer. Also,
double check to make sure the buzzer is plugged into the system.
2.
Check the buzzer cable and make sure it is not spliced, pinched or kinked.
3.
Check to make sure sensor cables are connected properly and that the wires are not
pinched or spliced anywhere
4.
Check to make sure the sensors are not angled too far up toward the sky. If need be, use
the provided shims to angle the sensors back down
5.
Check the power and ground connections
CONTINUOUS / INTERMITENT SOUNDING FROM BUZZER:
1.
Shift the car out of the reverse and then back into reverse to power the system back up.
This can sometimes recalibrate the system.
2.
Unplug each sensor one-by-one to check if the sensors are bad. The sensors are marked
A, B, C and D. Un-plug each one and shift the system into reverse with only one sensor
plugged in. The system should pick up any object at least 3 feet behind the vehicle with
one sensor plugged in. Check to make sure all sensors work when vehicle is shifted into
reverse.
3.
Check to make sure that are no protrusions hanging off of the bumper behind the vehicle.
If there is, you can use the intelligent detection switch to adjust the unit to look beyond
these protrusions. (See INTELLIGENT DETECTION Section)
