Cruise Control: Adjustments




Cruise Control Module (C-CM) (with Sensor) Adjustment


Vertical Alignment

NOTE: In order to align the Cruise-Control Module (C-CM), which is a radar sensor unit, the front bumper cover must be removed to access the sensor and the vehicle must be in a wheel alignment bay station so that the vehicle is level.

NOTE: Damage to the C-CM bracket may affect correct alignment. When aligning the C-CM, inspect the C-CM bracket for damage and repair as necessary before carrying out the alignment procedure.

1. Remove the front bumper cover. For additional information, refer to Bumper.

2. Place the vehicle on a wheel alignment bay station.

3. Locate the C-CM radar sensor alignment screw.





4. Place a combination square level on the face of the C-CM radar sensor unit and check the alignment.





5. Keeping the combination square level on the face of the C-CM radar sensor unit, adjust the pitch of the sensor by using an E5 inverted Torx(R) bit to adjust the screw until the sensor is vertical and level.





6. NOTE: Prior to installing the front bumper cover, clean and remove any debris on the front or back of the cover.

Install the front bumper cover.


Horizontal Alignment

NOTE: The horizontal alignment for the cruise control sensor is a software calibration. No manual adjustment is needed for this procedure. The scan tool calibrates the C-CM radar sensor unit through the C-CM calibration procedure in programmable parameters.

1. NOTICE: The vehicle's engine must be running during the horizontal alignment procedure. Failure to leave the engine running throughout the entire procedure results in the cancellation of the alignment procedure and the system remains non-functional.

Start the engine.

2. Follow the scan tool on-screen instructions to carry-out the C-CM calibration procedure.
- Follow the operating instructions shown on the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS).

- After completion of the test, verify that the test completed successfully.

- Follow the prompts to drive the vehicle after successful completion of the test. This may take several minutes.
