Freightliner Cascadia Front Radar Sensor Location (2025)

FAQs

Freightliner Cascadia Front Radar Sensor Location? ›

Forward radar sensors are located in or behind the front bumper/grille. They monitor the forward distance of objects in front of the vehicle, and control following distance.

On your question, unfortunately there is no way of bypassing this system. It is all integrated with many modules in the vehicle for cruise, stability, and safety systems. The radar will need to be replaced in order for the truck to operate as intended.

If the front radar sensor area on the front of the vehicle is covered with dirt or obstructed, making it impossible to detect a vehicle ahead, the following systems (where fitted) automatically turned off. Emergency Lane Assist (ELA) system. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) ProPILOT Assist.

SS 1034216 Detroit Assurance Radar Front. End Shipping Label. Applicable Vehicles: This solution is being written to address the Radar Front End (RDF) cover for New Cascadia vehicles, however the information being supplied, could relate to all Detroit Assurance forward facing radars.

Ultrasonic front parking sensors make use of sound echo to detect and calculate the distance between the car and other objects. These sensors are placed on the front bumper of the car to ensure that acoustic waves can travel uninterrupted.

The front radar sensor facilitates fast, precise, and resilient object detection and tracking thanks to its long detection range, wide field of view, outstanding angle separability, and own chirp-sequence modulation feature. This makes it ideally suited to complex traffic scenarios.

SensorsHSA - Hill Start Assistance

HSA is an electronic parking brake, which is directly connected to the main brakes and the ESC system. It automatically prevents the vehicle from backsliding on inclines by activating the normal brakes.

The video radar decision unit (VRDU) ECU is located below the powertrain CAN starpoint connector.

Also known as 'limp home mode', limp mode is a security feature in cars which activates when the engine or transmission control unit picks up a fault. Once it detects a problem, limp mode will cause the less important parts of the car, such as air conditioning, to switch off, and the speed of the car will be reduced.

A: Forward safety system disabled. Camera obscured. When the front windshield where the front view camera is located, front radar cover, bumper or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

What is the SCR on Freightliner Cascadia? ›

A: SCR stands for Selective Catalytic Reduction. SCR simply adds a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust gas and filters it through a catalyst to convert NOx into nitrogen and water which is released into the air.

RDF is a directed graph composed of triple statements. An RDF graph statement is represented by: 1) a node for the subject, 2) an arc that goes from a subject to an object for the predicate, and 3) a node for the object. Each of the three parts of the statement can be identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

They are located in the hub assembly and, along with the rear sensors, monitor the vehicle's speed and provide the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with the necessary information. The ECU also feeds the safety systems, speedometer, and odometer with this speed data.

Sensors are located behind a fascia cover near the driver side of the lower grille.

Typically that's an error message you'd see on a car with a collision avoidance, automatic braking or automatic cruise control function. In this case the car apparently uses radar t detect cars and obstacles ahead, and for some reason it's not working.
