Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Mechanical Alignment
When the radar is out of alignment, DTC C1002 is set by the DSCC module. When DTC C1002 is set, it becomes necessary to mechanically align the radar using the special alignment tool. Refer to DTC C1002 . For further information on how to aim and align the radar, refer to Distance Sensing Cruise Control Aiming . An out of alignment condition may be as a result of tampering or damage to the DSCC module mounting structures or the adjuster settings. An out of alignment condition may also be as a result of damage to the front end of the vehicle or merely as a result of wear and tear. Refer to Distance Sensing Cruise Control Module Replacement on how to properly mount and adjust the DSCC module. Performance of the ACC System may be degraded after a DSCC module replacement. Normal vehicle driving will correct the performance of the ACC System.
