Netcub Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Got this message when I started my car today. Talked to the Subaru Service Dept. They had no idea what SRVD even was. He said, "If its a 2015, we don't know anything about it." Then Proceeded to tell me if I was facing the sun, thats why it was disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuttlefish Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection system (SRVD)-radar type system blinded by the sun huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netcub Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Lol, Apparently. I restarted the car and it went away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash40 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Same exact thing happened to me. Took new car in for state inspec (bought out of home state). After car went in \ up on lift, the SRVD disabled warning came on - just as yours. After consulting manual, it was because the radar sensors were blocked for an extended period of time (in the shop) and were not getting normal readings. Restarted car, all is fine. This was 3 weeks ago - no issues since. Makes sense - radar sensors blocked = glitch. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayms69 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 thats not really funny, thats sad the dealer is that out of date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netcub Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hmm. my car was sitting in the open, behind the house. Its been raining for 2 days... Hope it doesn't happen again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netcub Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 thats not really funny, thats sad the dealer is that out of date I was a little surprised by his response as well. He should have at least known what SRVD was, and that it wasn't from sunlight interfering with the cameras. To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure what it was when I called, but I've only had the car 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayms69 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I only had it for 3 wax jobs, the SRVD is when you are in reverse and it beeps at when a car is approaching in either direction right? Im glad my dealer didnt act like that, would have never purchased from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netcub Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think its the whole rear detection system including BSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest djb Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I hope it's not an issue either BUT, not looking good. Started the car last night after work, cleaned it off (it snowed, which I'm grateful for = practice my drifting) and low and behold when I got back in, SRVD is Disabled appeared. I turned it off and back on to no effect, same issue this morning so off to the dealer next week. BTW I got the same response when I called the dealer: what is SRVD!

Mumrahte Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I too had this pop up once, in the manual it pretty much tells you to get this checked out right away, next time I restarted the car the warning was gone and hasn't come back. This is the rear cross traffic radar thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayms69 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 you know how technology is, get it replaced while your under warranty. Sh!t goes bad sometimes, especially electrical gizmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Paul Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I first noticed SRVD disabled about two months ago, and since then, it has happened about 5 times. This seemed to come up after the weather got cooler, I.E., below freezing, but I had it happen once while the temp was above freezing (but still in the 30s). ...never saw it happen in broad daylight - always after dark, but that may have been just a coincidence. Same remedy - turn the car off and restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Legacy 3.6 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I cant believe the dealer said that....LOL...drop them and go someplace else...they could have replied they didn't know and said they would get back to you...bad customer service. I too like the feature....haven't had the error message...yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffafa Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I had this message this morning. It had been raining when I started the car. I turned the car off in just ram as I was going down the road and restarted it and it went away. I suppose I should call the dealer and let them know just Im case I do run into a problem later. The cars only 3 weeks old. Have any of you had to have this issue repaired yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesnake Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I currently have it in the shop for this and my entertainment system locking up.. and they can't duplicate the issue.. They don't have much to say other then.. did you press the button to re-enable it?.. I said yea, but it didn't re-enable etc. At least I had them check it out. next time it happends I think I will take a video if I have time and then show it to them...

Mumrahte Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think this is just one of those things that happens sporadically, this isn't a mission critical system and it does warn you that its off, every time I have had the light come on (3 times) re-starting the car when I got a chance fixed it. I bet something is just causing the rear radar sensors to report odd readings. Makes it obvious why subraru didn't choose to do radar ACC(Adaptive Cruise Control) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesnake Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 After a few day in the shop it finally popped up for them...yea Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesnake Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Still in the shop 3/27 for the SRVD Disabled issue (intermittant) & my entertainment intermittantly crashing. On 4/6 they told me they are getting a Subaru person comming to there shop to diagnose the issue. At least they were able to replicate the issue with the SRVD.. Unfortunatly they couldn't replicate the issue with Entertainment issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesnake Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I got a call from the dealer. The rear sensor needs to be replace with a NEW part number. Unfortunatly it will take 2 weeks to get. They said the current part is being replaced because of the type of issue I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWG15Leg Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I had this replaced. Mine was REALLLY sensitive. Would give tons of false positives. E.g. Car 60 feet back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maclover Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wow. Mine just failed yesterday! Purchased car the first week it went on sale in mid July. I will need to make an appointment with the dealer. Really use this feature all the time. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
