ACC relocation issues….

[Slickace1500]

Trying to see what solutions anybody has for bronco raptor, cruise control relocation. I am currently running adaptive desert designs, which is made by dv8. They say the system works with a Bronco Raptor however, after seeing it in person and stalled and coming across issues, they may want to update their product. The issue I have after completing everything is it is saying that the sensor is blocked. I which I can completely see so trying to see what people have done to solve this issue. I included photos. I will try to get better ones during the day.

Any solutions to fix this problem will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey there man, have you reached out to ADD's customer service or ours? And just to confirm you have our relocation bracket correct purchased through ADD?

I have the same relocation bracket and get the same error even though I have adaptive cruise turned off. I did call the customer service and they said it needed to be aimed up or down more and I haven't had the time to rip off the grill to do it, put it back together, drive it, etc.

Maybe they have a certain angle or degree that works and set it to that.

I am pretty sure DV8 and ADD are competitors... with different but similar brackets.

"Blocked" almost certainly means that you don't have it aligned. The plastic grill won't block the signal. The alignment is critical with very little margin for error.

Horizontal needs to be within +/- 3 degrees. If you have the DV8 bracket, there is a lot of slop in the bolt holes, so use a yardstick to determine the horizontal plane as accurately as you can.

Vertical is especially critical. The Ford spec for the factory mount is 90.0 degrees (straight ahead), however with it relocated people have found that pointing it downward by 1.5-2 degrees works better. Use a small digital level or phone app on the non-raised part of the sensor. If you have leveled your suspension, you may have to grind the DV8 bracket a little to provide enough adjustment range.

If you get sensor blocked errors, or if ACC is flakey/erratic or "loses" lock on the car in front of you, you will know it isn't aligned.

Thanks. All good info.

I had this exact problem and just remedied it today thanks to advice from rtaylor and others on another thread. Be sure to do all of the things rtaylor said, but you’ll also need to recalibrate the sensor in Forscan. I used Forscan Lite on my iPhone. It was a 2 step process: first reset the ACC sensor. Second recalibrate the sensor by taking it on a drive between 30-50 mph. Forscan will have a progress wheel telling you the percentage as it updates. It says it takes between 5-15 minutes. It was closer to 25 for me, but I was in heavy traffic. Good luck!

I believe ADD and DV8 are actually two arms of the same company. @DV8 Off-road correct me if I’m wrong.

You are right, they are owned by the same private equity so probably share stuff the same as fox/zone/bds/jks.

I have the ADD Rock Fighter bumper on my Raptor, Warn Winch, ADD ACC relocation bracket and camera relocation and everything works great for ACC. It was out of line with the initial install but tweaked and now works great (Angle was off a little bit the first time)

Pics of the rig? You know... just for proof you have it.

(And maybe because I want it and would like to see it)

Here you go!
