Resetting HVAC in Freightliner Next-Gen

This is for a Next-Gen truck. For the previous generation of Cascadia see this video: • Resetting the HVAC Sys...
Has your HVAC stopped blowing hot air on a cold day or is it blowing lava hot air on a summer day? It could be your blend door stuck. Try this procedure before taking your truck to a shop, it just might fix your problems.
FYI, I have had a couple trucks where they had to do it more than once so try it a couple times.

If the sleeper thermostat stops working open the closet, unplug the thermometer plug it back in and it will work again. This is not for the bunk heater. This is for the air conditioner controls in the sleeper.

[@mr.k3676]

Amen. Thank you for this. I run a team truck and the a/c was not blowing cold at all. Followed your instructions and now I need some long Johns on. Thank you brother.

[@tonyb1315]

How long to leave unplugged I'm in Cali and I'm baking to death only.blowing hot air it was working fine before

[@petechairez1345]

Quick unplug and plug in works good for me with the Power on

[@andrewrdean160]

I've had to use this fix 2 times now in the bunk. Thank you for your comment!

[@petechairez1345]

I’m glad my comment under this KZbin post was helpful I know how it is out here.

[@PsyberMind]

Love it! My bunk was blowing cold, but the cab was red hot in 90% humidity here in Kentucky.. I was cool laying down, the moment I sat up I was melting.. Followed this trick and now I’m getting to sub-zero temps up in here, which I prefer.. easier to remove a blanket/sheet than it is to try to maintain a comfy temperature without them.

[@Railer61]

Once I saw it was engine off in accessory, I did this and got me the cooler air I needed. My system was trying to roast me outta this truck

[@ramsespolanco7334]

This just happened to me first thing morning in a 2020 Cascadia. It worked. Thank you, you're a life saver in this Florida heat! 😎

Your a hero dude. I’m in El Paso for a 34 hour break and my sleeper controls would only control the front ac but nothing would change in the sleeper. I tried this and now it works fine.

[@agrsvbutterfly]

2020 cascadia here, we had to turn our truck off to get this work but it made the world's difference! Hot air in the bunk, cold up front, that kept shutting down our smart idle randomly at night. I was all but ready to rip the controls off the wall lol so glad I found this video!

[@DDTruckDriver]

Awesome, stay cool! And Subscribe to help us out. Thanks

[@dannyflemings864]

I'm having similar problems I think is you had. I reset the front part of the truck and it's blowing cold air. But my 2021 cascadia the sleeper control will not blow cold air and it keeps on blowing hot air no matter if you turn it off. And I can't idle the truck because it shuts off and you wake up 150° any suggestions

[@agrsvbutterfly]

@@dannyflemings864 using this trick worked for ours to fix the bunk blowing hot but the truck had to be off. When we set the opti idle to interior comfort it would cycle through a few times then never crank the truck again so we'd wake up just baking in there. I never figured out how to fix that, I'm sorry.

IT WORKS THANK YOU YOU SAVED ME FROM THE HEAT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bensamuels4401]

Yep worked like a charm. Thanks a lot! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SEEING THIS AND CAN'T GET IT TO WORK: Step 1. Set all dials to where he showed you INCLUDING the ones in the bunk. Step 2. Turn truck off and leave key facing up and down (not tilted either way). Step 3. Cut the trucks connection to the battery with the switch on the ground at the back left corner of your chair. (Give it about 15 seconds before reconnecting) Step 4. Turn key one click clockwise and then hold both buttons like he showed you. (Keep holding for a little bit even after they start blinking). Step 5. Turn your truck on and cross your fingers. :)

I found the blend air actuator had popped off of the housing allowing the blend air door to not function properly. I got the actuator put back in correctly and all is functioning properly now.

[@steverobertson1729]

The issue im having is AC wont consistently run to keep sleeper AND cab cold (team truck, so both need to be working simultaneously) When it does work, its FREEZING us to death, but then after a day or two into our work week, it will quit working, either in sleeper or in cab. Sometimes both. Resetting the truck (turning off, waiting 20-30 mins) SOMETIMES works. Filters are clean. Gonna try this next.

[@DayTrading-lessons]

Mine truck AC wasn’t working when truck stopped and reset according you n it’s working now … 👍🏼👍🏼

my bunk blower always going full speec automatically while i am driving. can somebody please help

[@loganpolley7767]

For some reason my air smelled Luke barbeque right after doing this. Not sure if it really helped much in optimized idle comfort mode on the bunk will blow some heat in the bunk when set to do so by when you turn it to ac it continues to cook me until you turn it off and start again max cold. Then it blows semi air more like a fan

[@DDTruckDriver]

If your air smells like barbeque then you should be teaching us how to do it. I would love it if my HVAC smelled like bbq #smokedmeatsforlife!

[@TheTruelakersfan]

Did t work on my 2020 freight liner cascadia

[@StygianBlood]

Holy hell thank you....that does more than just reset that door.....my truck randomly has issues where it'll just stop blowing cold as if you just turned the blower on and it unfucked my a/c

[@DDTruckDriver]

Glad it helped!

[@TheAmericanUhate]

Mine just randomly started this same issue tonight. It's on and working, then the lights go out and the cold air turns to ambient temp air, which is hot lol. This reset is working so far, hope it stays

[@judecharles2017]

My ac works fine but in the sleeper when I turned off the engine the park smart doesn’t blow cold air. I have to keep the engine running if I want the bunker to get cool while sleeping. Any idea on how to fix that??

[@DDTruckDriver]

Are you using optimized idle?

[@danjustus1]

Key needs to be on accessory. Then start it after blink blink.

[@timbocf76]

Doesn't work

[@jesseostone386]

Can’t tell, even when reading some comments. You didn’t say as part of your instruction. Key turned to right or left? Engine on or not? Details matter. Guess I’ll have to experiment.😕

[@TheKingOfTheHill]

I have 2021 Freightliner, I had to turn engine off with key on on position then reset.

[@DDTruckDriver]

Some trucks are that way, funny how it goes. Thanks for the input. Try both, key on engine off and key on engine on.

They are stuck on cold in the front and hot in the back? Or can one of them change?

[@garryeadon9962]

It does not work on my 2023

[@Countrygalaprilyoung]

Does this actually stop the front from controlling the back and the bunk controlling the front?

[@DDTruckDriver]

Well none of this takes control of the front or back, the only time your front/back might seem "controlled" is when it is in optimized idle

Does the truck have to be on or off to do this?

[@DDTruckDriver]

Key has to be in on position, I have had it work both idling, driving, and truck off but key on.

[@dannyflemings864]

Maybe one of you guys can help me out. My AC up in the cab of the truck runs great it will freeze you out. But the bump it keeps blowing out warm air and you can't shut it off even if you shut the truck off the thing keeps running you cannot get it to blow out cold air any suggestions I know take it to a shop. But I thought maybe somebody else might know something

[@DDTruckDriver]

Sorry I don’t have any ideas on it nor have we come across that. To have power to that even with the key off though you must have crossed wires somewhere

[@NatureBoy314]

Make sure ya'll trucks are not running...turn the ignition to the on position

[@DDTruckDriver]

You know I have actually done this while driving down the road before. But I have found that some people say key on engine off, key on engine on, key on engine on while driving. So maybe some of the trucks just respond differently.

[@sonic505050]

Any idea how to reset the radio when it freezes up?

[@skylerdroubay4782]

Only had that happen once, I think in the end it was a defective radio. But I think the power kill switch to cut off the batteries helped.

Verde es normal, azul es económico. En otras palabras no hay diferencia.

Computer says no! I tried that but it's still blowing cold up front and warm in the back. 0°f right now. It's on the stop start mode where the rear controls are supposed to control the front. While driving to get heat I have to shut off the fan wait a while, turn the fan on to get heat. It's a 2020 monstrosity. I can't wait for a computer to replace me.
