Congrats, the Forscan team are ace, heled me loads of times

Andy

No, not without fitting a newer front facing camera, I believe the newer ones use a laser beam for more accurate measure of distance at slower speeds. Also, I am not sure these can be retro fitted

Andy

Don't quite me but I think the adaptive steering one does just lever off, pressure applied in the correct place .... but don't quote me. Good luck

I have no clue then as there must be a locking mechanism to stop the airbag simply popping off. Good luck You don't have adaptive steering do you, as that could be different

Try looking in this document. Remember to disconnect battery 10 mins before attempting removal and do not reconnect until everything is back together

I never tried them before making the change in SCCM, but I know the standard cruise control buttons would not work when SCCM was changed to ACC before fitting the new switch, I got DTCs. It is possible that, in the switch block, Ford use a different canbus ID for the switches, but once you change the SCCM to ACC, that should solve things 

Hi. I only changed the lower left buttons block which had the ACC controls on it. I then made changes in the SCCM and the buttons worked

1. PCM Module configuration :

-set Cruise Control parameter to Adaptive cruise control

2. BCM Module Configuration :

-set Cruise Control parameter to Adaptive cruise control

3. ABS Module Configuration:

- set Adaptive Cruise Control (down to 30 Kph) to Enabled

- Set Forward Collision Mitigation By braking to Enabled

4. IPC Module Configuration:

- Set Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control Menu to enabled

5. SCCM Module Configuration:

- Set steering Wheel Switch Config to 17 Ford Cruise Control or 20 Ford ASLD+ACC

NOTE, ACC will work without the SCCM changes and correct switch but will not work correctly, but you can test without the switch first if you want to, ALL other changes are mandatory

Good luck

Can't confirm part number but it looks right.

There are no mods to make to CCM at all, don't touch it otherwise you likely have to recalibrate 

Mods needed to

PCM

IPC

SCCM

ABS

I am out at moment, but when I get home I can send you details if you want?

Hi. Sorry for not updating this post. I now have fully functional ACC. The only hardware needed was the steering wheel buttons as pictured.

If you use the latest Forscan 2.3.33 then it should give you access to all the modules you need to change plus these are shown in the 'configure module' sections, so no messing with as-built

Andy

Thanks for the reply Omar, I do indeed have the radar and mine comes with collision alert as standard as the IPC shows the vehicle in front as you approach it. As I say, my issue seems to be with braking, when ACC activates the brakes it 'appears' that it only works for a short period, even shorter if braking is harsh. When using ACC in normal traffic where you are all travelling at around the same speed, it works until!!! it has to brake moderately, then the system turns off, hence why I am thinking about the ABS module as I guess that is doing the braking

Andy

I want ACC, shouldn't be too hard!!!

2017 Ford Edge 2.0 210ps, powershift box, and looks like most of the components come fitted, so got ForScan out, did some research, changed IPC, BCM and ABS configurations and YES, I have it 90% working (my car came fitted with HUD display which means it already has the radar unit installed) but looking for some help with the last 10%, cos it's an important 10% and I am starting to reach the limit of what information I can get from the internet.

ACC works up to a point, and that point is where active braking starts, the vehicle will brake but very soon into braking I get the 'active cruise control is not available' message which only seems to 'reset' itself after some time. I 'think' it is the ABS unit over-heating and that, to have ACC, the one component in the car that needs changing is the ABS unit but I don't have access to part numbers based on VIN as this would allow me to compare vehicles with and without ACC. The only other part I know I need to swap are the steering wheel buttons as I cannot set the 'distance' but I would like to make sure nothing else needs changing before I start spending.

Can anyone offer any input?

Thanks

Andy
