How does a reversing sensor work?
Ultrasonic sensors work while stationary or while moving and use sound waves to detect objects in-front of the sensor. By pulsating sound in a high-frequency that reflects off near-by objects, a receiver can catch the reflected waves and calculate the distance to the detected objects.
Where is the sonar buzzer located on a Nissan?
In Nissan vehicles, the signal is heard through the sonar buzzer. In each vehicle, the sonar control unit (SCU) is below the steering wheel and easily seen when the lower instrument panel is removed. The main components of the system are the four rear sensors, the SCU and the sonar buzzer.
How can I test my rear sonar system?
The first test is to check the rear sonar sensor circuit continuity. Disconnect the SCU and the sensor you are testing. Check continuity and connectors between the SCU and the sensor in question. The locations of each are found in the Service Manual’s wiring diagrams. Check continuity between the SCU connector and the ground.
Where is the Sonar Control Unit on a car?
In each vehicle, the sonar control unit (SCU) is below the steering wheel and easily seen when the lower instrument panel is removed. The main components of the system are the four rear sensors, the SCU and the sonar buzzer. The sonar system starts when the vehicle is put in reverse.
When does the rear sonar Beep become continuous?
As the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle, the beep will become faster. When the rear end of the vehicle is less than 10 in from the object, the beep becomes continuous. If the system detects a motionless object farther than 10 in from the side of the vehicle, the beep will sound for three seconds.
