Module, Adaptive Cruise Control (Acc): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) module (1) can be mounted to the front bumper beam near or at the center of the vehicle. Certain models will have the ACC module mounted to the right of center.
The ACC module communicates with other vehicle modules using both public and private bus networks to provide the following features sets (when equipped):
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Advanced Brake Assist (ABA)
The ACC module (2):
- Is mounted to a bracket (1) that is mounted to the front fascia grille.
- Has one fixed ball stud and two adjustable ball studs (vertical adjustable and horizontal adjustable) secure the module housing through a pressed fit into molded plastic ball socket clips installed in the mounting bracket.
- Pivots on the fixed ball stud while the upper adjustable ball stud allows module to be vertically aligned and the lower ball stud allows the module to be horizontally aligned after installation.
- Has a molded plastic module cover with a center clearance hole for the module lens/radar dome snaps over the module. This cover conceals a small square mirror and the adjustment screws. The mirror is only used for calibration purposes during the vehicle assembly process.
- Includes an applied connector receptacle that is sealed and secured to the module housing with screws and faces downward when mounted. The ACC module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single dedicated takeout and connector.
