Kolk1 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ive been going through the settings options, and trying to figure out a way to fix, or change 2 things about the car. A) half the time it seems like it wont let me turn on the Cruise control. Very annoying. On a empty highway, I dont care about Radar ACC, I just want 60mph, just freaking do it already!! no matter if collision assist is off, on, no gap, big gap, doesnt matter, as soon as I get into traffic, I always it a chimes and Warnings popping up about Collision Assist not available, then I hit reset, and it says something about radar blocked see manual(that only talks about it being dirty), then hit reset again, and it takes me back to my normal Miles until empty screen.

bpd1151 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Although I don't have the ACC option (call me crazy, just never was to keen on the car driving itself) but I have heard of other owner's who have had issues with sensors themselves. I believe the sensors being "blocked" message was/is more common with the BLIS or Cross Traffic Alert system, rather than the ACC, but I would suspect that you may have either a sensor merely out of factory alignment / spec, or worse, a faulty sensor entirely. Hopefully others will chime in for you and offer up some solutions, but this may be best remedied by taking it to your local Dealer's Service Dept. and have them check. I know there was a TSB on the BLIS sensors at one point, perhaps there's one pertaining to the ACC as well :noidea: Good luck though :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine109 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I've got the BLIS with ACC. That error usually happens in rainy conditions but if you are having it in non-rainy conditions you probably need a program update for it. Swing by the dealer and if you're under 30K miles they will fix it under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Same here only seen the warning with heavy rain conditions or if snow was blocking the lower portion where the sensor is located. I agree, it sounds like a problem something akin to the TSB that was out for the early BLISS users. The update the problem with the BLISS for the most part, although it still activates for guide rails, hills, and things that shouldn't on occasion. But that's the side warning stuff and my ACC has been working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolk1 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Everything else on the car seems to working fine. Im at 35k miles now. But if its a TSB, I might go in and talk to them about it. See what the service guy tells me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I really think that's the best way to approach this problem, if they can't update the ACC, then you may have a larger problem. But I would make them aware of the problem, and have them note it, so that it is covered before you reach 36K miles...that way it should be fixed under warranty even if you go over the mileage, if you've made them aware that it is a problem while under warranty.

Kolk1 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Ok, thanks guys, ill go talk to them about it. Couple other NEWB questions, after seeing Mikes 2010 SHO today. His gauges were solid aqua color. Mine are half white, with only aqua outer hash marks, Was this a specific year or model difference? Also, lets say during the day the gauges are at 100% brightness, but at night, even turned all the way up, they are only at 50%, go any higher and the dome lights turn on. I dont want 100% at night, but 60-75% range would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
