how to disable crash avoidance system in class 8 trucks

[brian991219]

Each model is different, and depending on programming they may not be able to be disabled. Many fleets are setting them up this way to prevent the driver from bypassing the system they paid extra for.

 

Typically these systems only stay disabled for a short period of time, some for just a few minutes to let you get thru a work zone, others will stay off until you cycle the key on/off. To permanently disable the feature would require a trip to the dealer, and may not be permitted by the manufacturer.

Brian's correct, and not to mention, if the truck is a new model and depending in the particular model, the computer may indicate an attempt to disconnect or alter the system and record the attempt thus voiding any warranties in place.    R
