I was just seeing if anyone has come across any issues with their cruise control after they lowered it, if so, what's up?

 

I found this post just now - but wondered what your response was... my car is lowered and my adaptive cruise is screwed up. It throws an error frequently...

 

i know that the ICC uses a horizontal radar beam aimed at the front cars rear bumper to eye the car and if lowered it would theoretically lower the radars beam and target the tires rather than the rear bumpers imo. but not researched, maybe someone who has dropped their car and has ICC can pitch in.

 

I have my car lowered with Tanabe NF210 springs and do not notice any difference when using ICC.

 

What's your drop? I wonder if it makes a difference?

 

Dropped 1" Front and 1.3" Back. I will be installing some BC COs in the next week and plan on lowering my front around 1.5". I will report back once my COs are installed.

 

Lowered on Eibachs .... no ICC issues.

 

im lowered on h&r's but i never use that thing lol. Now that someone mentioned this i will try it out and let you know.

 

This is very frustrating to me. I have had my dealership look into it, and they blamed the lowering, and that the ICC has very little external adjustment available to it. I guess I'll just have to get under there myself...

 

mine works well even with the 3" drop

 

I just had my car lowered and my CC works fine. On the drive home I did notice something was up with it. I was getting an error. After messing with it for a while during my 1hour drive home I figured out what the problem was. The sun was setting and low in the sky. Whenever the CC would throw an error was when there was direct sunlight shining straight in to the sensor. Every time the sun was blocked by one of the rolling hills I was driving around it worked fine but as soon as the sun shined directly into the front of the car the CC would stop working. That was the only thing that I noticed that could have been causing the problem. Since then my CC has not had any problems.

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to pipe back to you guys! It is a simple thing, more simple than anything I've seen, and I'm kind of embarrassed to have posted the problem! Right on the front of the ICC sensor, there is an allen head, and it controls the "angle of attack" on the sensor. If you peek through the grill, you can see if you're turning it up or down, and a little bit "up" fixed my problem. I should really fine tune it, but it's not kicking errors any more!
