Causes
- Faulty rear radar module (hardware or internal software fault)
- Intermittent or failed power supply or ground at the radar module
- Damaged, corroded, or loose connector or wiring between module and network
- CAN bus wiring fault (short to battery/ground, high resistance, missing termination)
- Network interference or excessive bus error frames
- Module configuration or software mismatch after replacement or update
Symptoms
- Stored U05B7 fault and possible other related communication codes
- Reduced or disabled rear ADAS features (rear collision alert, cross-traffic alert, blind spot, parking assist)
- Warning lamp or message on dash related to ADAS or sensor fault
- Intermittent operation of radar-dependent functions
- Possible additional network-related faults (multiple U-codes)
What to check
- Read all stored DTCs and freeze frame data from all modules using a capable scan tool
- Visual inspection of rear radar module, connector, and harness for corrosion, damage, moisture, or loose pins
- Verify battery voltage and measure module supply and ground with ignition ON
- Check CAN bus physical layer voltages (CAN_H / CAN_L) and resistance to verify termination
- Use a diagnostic tool or bus monitor to confirm the radar module message IDs and message frequency on the network
- Check for recent software updates or module replacements and confirm correct calibration/programming
Signal parameters
- CAN bus idle differential ~0 V (CAN_H ≈ 2.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 2.5 V); dominant state CAN_H ≈ 3.5 V, CAN_L ≈ 1.5 V
- Typical CAN data rates: 250 kb/s or 500 kb/s (vehicle-dependent) — confirm correct bus speed
- Expected message ID(s) and cycle time for rear radar module (manufacturer-specific); message should appear at regular interval
- Healthy message CRC/checksum validity and correct payload length
- Low bus error counters and no continual error frames when module is present
Diagnostic algorithm
- Capture and record all network and module DTCs; note freeze frame and occurrence conditions.
- Visually inspect radar connector, harness routing, and mounting for damage, water intrusion, or corrosion; repair or clean as needed.
- With ignition ON, verify module supply voltage and ground integrity at the connector; repair power/ground faults before proceeding.
- Use scan tool or CAN bus monitor to check for the radar module’s diagnostic messages on the bus; confirm message ID, frequency, and payload validity.
- If messages are absent or corrupted, measure CAN_H and CAN_L with a scope to look for noise, missing termination, or fault conditions. Check bus resistance (approx. 60 ohms total for CAN).
- Isolate wiring: if possible, disconnect the radar module and verify bus behavior and other modules. Repair shorted or open circuits found in wiring.
- If wiring and bus are good but module messages remain invalid, attempt a module reset or reflash software if available and supported.
- Replace the rear radar module only after confirming wiring, power/ground, and bus are good. After replacement, program/calibrate per manufacturer procedure and clear codes.
- Verify repairs by re-checking for presence of valid messages, clearing DTCs, and performing a functional test/road test to confirm ADAS functionality.
Likely causes
- Corroded/loose connector or damaged wiring at the rear radar module
- Radar module hardware failure
- CAN bus error or missing/incorrect termination causing corrupted frames
- Power or ground fault at the radar module
Fault status
