Hit a pole, no cruise control.

[BonesRaptor]

2020 802A. Hit a pole sliding down a driveway, and it took out my adaptive cruise control thing. (the black module that lives behind drivers side front bumper) I removed the broken sensor, but I’m still not able to use any type of cruise control, and I’m also not able to turn off adaptive in the settings. Any tips how to get just normal cruise control back? I plan on going with and aftermarket bumper so im thinking of ditching the addaptive cruise control anyways.

can you plug the broken sensor back and try disabling ACC?

sometimes you can still access options on a module that is detected broken vs a module/sensor that is missing or unplugged.

Yep ^^^^ what he said.

^^^^^not necessarily. Even when the sensor is plugged in, if the system detects any kind of fault (sensor misalignment, blocked etc), it will grey out the ability to switch to normal cruise control. The Op will need to get it fixed

Thank you guys I ordered a new sensor so when I get that ill plug it in and see what I can do.

 

[Mmm]

I had the same issue. From what I understand you can’t just plug a new sensor in. Apparently it has to be programmed for your truck. Then aligned properly and calibrated. Ford actually covered it after I threw a big fit at the dealership. I tried everything I could to program it out to get normal cruise back but nothing worked. Good luck with yours.

Huh, interesting, Even if you are in park you can’t go to the far right screen and advanced settings and change to nml cruise?

Nope its there but it wont let you actually change anything. It’s all greyed out and not changeable.

Well that’s not good. My dealership doesn’t exactly have intelligent people either. They didn’t know what model my truck was last time I took it in.
