IMPORTANT: After replacing the sensor assembly the next steps are necessary for the ACC system to perform properly.

With the scan tool, change the Automatic Alignment Learn Status Parameter in the DSCC module scan tool data list to Not Aligned after replacing the sensor assembly. This allows the new sensor assembly to automatically align to the vehicle during normal customer driving. Refer to Control Module References
Performance of the ACC system may be degraded after sensor assembly replacement. Normal customer driving will correct the performance of the ACC system. Refer to Cruise Control Description and Operation (Adaptive Cruise) or Cruise Control Description and Operation (Conventional Cruise)
