SRVD Disabled

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.

Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection system (SRVD)-radar type system blinded by the sun huh?

Lol, Apparently. I restarted the car and it went away...

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.

thats not really funny, thats sad the dealer is that out of date

Hmm. my car was sitting in the open, behind the house. Its been raining for 2 days... Hope it doesn't happen again though.

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.

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.

I think its the whole rear detection system including BSM.

Are these eyesight cars with the problems, i dont have it. Im pretty sure SRVD is on all Legacys

SRVD is standard for Limited models and available as in both EyeSight option Packages for Premium models.

copy that, it beeps at me when in reverse and a cars coming. I like it alot, great feature. Hope there arent any issues

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!

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.

you know how technology is, get it replaced while your under warranty. Sh!t goes bad sometimes, especially electrical gizmos

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.

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.

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?

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... LOL

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)

After a few day in the shop it finally popped up for them...yea

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

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.

I had this replaced. Mine was REALLLY sensitive. Would give tons of false positives.

 

E.g. Car 60 feet back

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.
