Sorry, new to the site but online lurker here and other sites.
I currently have a 22' Ram 3500 Longhorn 6.7L HO that I just put a NorStar skirted flatbed on along with the Titan XXL fuel tank.
Leading up to the swap I had read several posts and comments both here and on other forums online regarding bed deletion and dealing with sensors etc... I also researched changing the fuel info to reflect the new size of the tank.
I could really use some additional help and feedback regarding AlfaOBD and the clearing of the associated messages if anyone has the experience I clearly don't..
When I deleted the bed I was getting the following messages:
-"Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable Service Required".
-"Rear Turn Signals Out".
-The rear park sensors are displaying off and the display message "Rear Park Sense Unavailable Service Required".
I screenshoted a post from @Jimmy07 previously helping another user regarding the BSM messages. (I'll attach the screenshots I used) it was from like January 31, 2020.
Using that and another forum post (Sorry I cant see the name of the person the screenshot cut it out but I will include it). I was able to clear the "Blind spot monitoring unavailable service required" message off.
I tried:
- Doors: Blindspot mirror present
-No
- Cust.Set.Menu 1: Blind Spot Alert
-No
- Programmed ECU Cabin Net Right blind spot sensor
- No / same for the Left -No.
That seemingly got the BSM issue resolved.
I was also able to go and adjust the Liters for the fuel tank to read the proper size. Mild successes!
Currently, I am left with the, "Rear Park Sense Unavailable Service Required & "Rear Turn Signals Out" messages at start up along with left and right signal hyper flash when engaging the signals inside.
My assumption now is that with the rear signal message it's effecting the Rear Park sensors being off and the hyper flashing issue inside when I turn on the signals.
To address the signal out message, I had found a post on a Promaster Forum about turning it off. That post was by a Roach711. (Will include screenshot).
I followed his provided steps but it did not remove the message for me when I first started the vehicle. (After the unsuccessful changes, I made the attempt to change the settings back if they didn't work).
Being the genius I am, I figured I'd look online about the Parksense and see if I could get the rear working again (didn't realize at the time the problem could possibly be tied to the signals out)..
I found a post on the HDrams forum (will include screenshot) sorry don't got the guys name... But essentially he was able to activate his sensors on a different modification he has been working on.
I figured I might be able to address my problem following his steps minus the yellow cable as I don't have a Promaster.
Welp, I think I might have messed something up in the changes along the way though because the front park sensors are off now too! lol...dang it!
Using his steps this is what I did:
-Cust.Set.Menu 1: Park Assist Brake CSM
-No
-Cust.Set.Menu 1: Park Assist CSM Present - I tried doing Feature 1 - 2 option then switched to No.
-Parktronics: Park Assist Tuning Set - I tried 10 channel/bux rear only/summit, then switched to No because those changes didn't seem to work. After this I noticed for the first time that the front sensors were now displaying off.
Whenever I press the button on the center console to turn the front sensors back on, it says, "Service Unavailable". There is a display of the truck with the front and rear sensor zones and they both display Off on the odometer display. The yellow light blinks several times on the center console and goes back to solid yellow.
I sent this in a similar format to @Jonny07 in a message but I'm not sure if he frequents here often to get the message, it's been several days and I'm sure the man is a busy guy. I figured I'd try a forum post and pray for help.
Its not the end of the world but I figure it would be nice to fix what I can and have functionality for sensors if possible since they exist.
I'm really sorry for bothering folks with such a long and hopefully not too confusing post.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I know now this is a project I probably should have just found someone knowledgeable to help with in the first place. Thought I did enough research..
I am at a dead end it seems though, I cannot seem to find much more info online in posts when I browse the web.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you guys with that might help.
My current setup for AlfaOBD is:
- Kaodtech Security Bypass Cable
- Samsung S21 Ultra w/ AlfaOBD app.
- Mx+ OBDLink
