Alignment and Scan Tools Cheshire CT
The radar systems on these vehicles are designed to look at what it thinks is in the lane ahead while monitoring the cars in the lanes next to it. Since the radar sensor does not move, to interpret the radar signals it looks at the input from the steering position sensor.

How can centering a steering wheel during an alignment cause a vehicle to turn a blind eye? In the past two years we have seen more vehicles on the market with stability management and adaptive cruise control. If a vehicle with one of these systems comes into your shop for alignment, be aware that any changes in the steering position sensor's "zero" position may have drastic consequences for the safety of the vehicle. These systems use multiple inputs from different sensors to set the distance from the cars in front. If the data from one of these sensors is false, it could cause the system to go blind. RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
Adaptive cruise control builds on the functionalities of the cruise control system and, within certain system limits, maintains the correct distance from the vehicle in front - automatically. The system uses a special radar sensor to measure the distance from the vehicle ahead. If the distance is too small, the system reduces speed moderately by easing the throttle or it automatically activates the brakes, up to approximately 25 percent of maximum vehicle deceleration. Once the road ahead is clear again, adaptive cruise control accelerates the car back up to the speed previously set. If the braking process activated by the adaptive cruise control does not decelerate the vehicle sufficiently, an acoustic signal is triggered immediately to warn the driver to intervene manually. An outstanding feature of adaptive cruise control is its driving...
