Adaptive Cruise Control Issue

[2Lazy2P]

I periodically get an Adaptive Cruise Control Not Available message when starting up the truck. After a few seconds the message disappears. I have ACC activated in settings.

The error message will also appear while driving and using ACC. In these instances, when the message pops up, cruise control becomes disabled and I have to press Set to reengage and continue driving.

Any ideas for why this happens? Is there a fix (other than to disable ACC in settings)?

Dirty camera and/or sensors maybe?

I'll check them when I have some daylight. Thanks for the tip.

Strategically placed bird sh!t in this location will knock out ACC every time!

thought the adaptive cruise also had something to do with the radar in the middle of the bumper? Camera is for lane centering and sign reading.

Correct, radar is rarely going to be an issue unless OP has Wile E. Coyote stuck to front bumper.

I also vote for bird mess blocking camera but heavy dew on windshield this time of year could also do it. My auto wipers give a swipe in morning to get the dew out of way.
