CHECK the CCM and front bumper for damage or misalignment. REFER to: Cruise Control Radar Alignment . If no damage or misalignment is observed, RETEST the system. |
| Lack of active braking | CCM Front bumper |
The CCM may not detect and respond to vehicles or moving objects, such as bicycles, performing close cut-ins or on tight curves (especially on the passenger side) due to limited CCM field of view. CHECK the CCM and front bumper for damage or misalignment. REFER to: Cruise Control Radar Alignment . If no damage or misalignment is observed, RETEST the system. |
