Resetting the HVAC System on First Generation Freightliner Cascadias

Sometimes your truck cab gets stuck blowing one temperature of air and won't change. This will show you how to reset your HVAC system on Freightliner Cascadia trucks.

Your the first person to describe why it needs to be reset. Thank you

[@ramrumble]

Make sure and remember to turn your key to the run position without starting your truck.

[@skylerdroubay8209]

Actually that doesn’t matter, yes the truck needs to have the key in the on position but you can actually do this with the truck running. And full disclosure, it will also do it while you are driving down the road. So as long as the key is on whether the truck is running or not it will work. We have done it on trucks parked running, parked off, and rolling down the road.

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

@@skylerdroubay8209 it most definitely does not work with the truck running in the p3 or p4 Cascadia. Basically and multiplexed Cascadia this only works with koeo position.

[@DDTruckDriver]

@@stevenliberadzki9160 Correct, if you have the newer HVAC system then this is not an option. If your HVAC controls look like they do in this video then you are able to use this method

Thanks so much

Ahhhh, Thanks :)

[@richswisss]

Thank you very much. My AC cold air wasn't working after I replaced a leaking condenser and dryer. Couldn't figure it out. Thanks for your help. I'm pretty sure this saved me hundreds.

[@dhillontejbir]

Thanks for the video,great help. I've tried it on frt cascadia 2017 as my heat wasn't working and it worked. Awesome 👍

[@biglourucker]

Thank you for this 👍👍

[@Respectthelicense]

Omg it actually worked !!!! I am driving in Arizona and I was gonna die ! Thanks

[@lifelong38]

[@mikesmith3962]

Thank you so much

[@amenhemenblog2490]

Thank you

[@wilbertromero179]

Gracias me salvaste de el mecanismo

[@Manuel069690]

I got a 2016 with the same system. Do you have any idea why when you press the bunk button on the third dial the back doesn’t blow cold when the truck is running and the front is cold? On the other hand if you park and use the park smart it does blow cold in the back

[@vampiresquid5588]

Thanks 🙏 you have a follower

[@DDTruckDriver]

Thanks for the sub!

[@relaxmindbody8893]

Thank you it worked 💯💯💯💯💯

[@DDTruckDriver]

Glad to hear it!

[@djfazher]

It’s 2021. My 2016 Peterbilt stopped heating. It turned out the cold/hot blender door Actuator had a loose mounting screw. I got access to it by simply removing the two dashboard plastic covers, behind the air brake valves. I tightened it with a T20 Torx wrench and it started working again. I learned from your video. I hope someone finds my experience helpful.

[@skylerdroubay8209]

Well shoot, that is great if it helped you figure it out on a completely different truck!

[@bigjoe1077]

Is the truck supposed to be on or off?

[@ChristianKostrewski]

Do you have any tips for a 22 pete 348

[@DDTruckDriver]

Unfortunately no, we don't have Petes in our fleet

[@fernandogodina505]

That's for any vehicles

[@Duncan8er]

I switched over to defrost my windshield for a few minutes, now it won’t switch back to the main dash vents. It vents to the windshield only in the dash position. All the other positions seem to work. Will this fix that condition as well?

[@DDTruckDriver]

It can, it is a full reset of the HVAC system so it can fix it if something isn't actually broken.

[@moonshine711]

Is there a reset for 2019 kw T880?

[@skylerdroubay8209]

I do not know. This is just an issue we ran into regularly with the Cascadia. We don't run T880 trucks in our fleet.

[@briannarichardson-asbury3452]

How long does it take to stop blinking?

[@DDTruckDriver]

Usually only a few seconds

[@fellin75]

Mine doesn't even turn on at all!!

[@michaelstransportationllc2089]

Is that with the engine off n power on or engine running

[@DDTruckDriver]

I believe just the key needs to be in the on position. I have been able to do this with the engine off and on. But key has to be in the "on" position. I have heard from some people that they think the engine has to be off or it has to be on. I don't know if that is just their truck or whatever it might be. So it try it both ways until it works

[@tamsamlbm]

2014 my engine had to be off w/key on. Would not do it with the engine running.

[@biggame2175]

What about the APu?

[@skylerdroubay8209]

Well this is just for the freightliner HVAC, APUs are all so different. So for your specific APU I wouldn't know what it needs sorry.

[@biggame2175]

@@skylerdroubay8209 ok. Thanks

[@9215307507]

I am trying this it is not blinking

[@DDTruckDriver]

Which year and model of truck? Also, in some of the comments you will notice that strangely enough different key positions have worked for different people, no idea why that is but we have experienced it as well.

[@golf4fame]

Tried it on a 2016 freight ... no lights, nothing after about 20 seconds holding.

[@golf4fame]

Worked with key in but truck off! 😁

[@DDTruckDriver]

@@golf4fame Well there you go! Yeah it is very weird, we have noticed some will do it with the key in any position but others will not.

[@Sokon492]

What about the hvac in the back for the sleeper

[@DDTruckDriver]

Never run into a problem with just back there, but it should be tied to the front system if this is the problem.

[@jekyllhyde374]

Hello mine only blinks 3 times then stops

[@DDTruckDriver]

Like you mean it stops blowing?

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

This works on p3 and p4 cascadias.

[@DDTruckDriver]

As long as your HVAC controls look just like these then it will work. The newer system it does not have the reset built into it. At least all of my testing with it seems to have not done anything on the newest HVAC system

[@stevenliberadzki9160]

@@DDTruckDriver yes the 2021 p4 has it does work. The direction switch it the only difference because it does not have a stop. It can continuously go in circles. Just have to be at the face position.can still go through the retrain blend door process via the head head unit same way as like I said before All p3 and p4 cascadias. All years freightliner have multiplexed systems. I had to go to yet another Freightliner class last week even for the 2021 P4 cascadia. That specific feature was explained there along with many more for the autonomous driving features they've incorporated.

[@DDTruckDriver]

Steven, after researching and testing some of our trucks. You are correct, I made a video for the Next-Gen trucks. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6DEemSpnM2eqaM

[@cookingtilldawn5376]

Don’t forget to turn your key in the on position before trying this I don’t know why he left that out very important

[@fatman1288]

This would be a first gen the current gen cascadia is a 2nd gen

[@skylerdroubay8209]

Correct, that’s why it is even labeled in the title for a first gen. The current cascadia is called the NextGen and there is no reset process for it.

[@DDTruckDriver]

Allow me to correct my incorrect comment. After doing some testing, there is a reset for the Next Gen. See this video for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6DEemSpnM2eqaM
