  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 cruise-control radar module sensor unit through the cruise-control radar module procedure in programmable parameters.
  7. NOTE: 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.

  8. Follow the scan tool on-screen instructions to carry-out the cruise-control radar module calibration procedure.
    • Follow the scan tool on-screen instructions to carry-out the CCM calibration procedure located in IDS under Toolbox > Electrical > Cruise Control > CCM Calibration.

    • After completion of the test, verify the test completed successfully.

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