Adaptive cruise calibration keeps having sensor not aligned warning
Added adaptive cruise to 2020 f350 cc swb tremor lariat with a 7.3. I have ran the calibration 4 times. It succeeds without error and after the module restarts the warning clears and pops back up. Code b1433-54 is stored. The process tracker on forscan goes all the way to 99% and hangs out there a while and then it finishes process and says it suceeded. Anyone have any insight?

B1433:54 Forward Looking Sensor Horizontal Alignment: Missing Calibration. Set by the CCM as a continuous memory and on-demand DTC if the CCM detects a misalignment of the radar due to the alignment angle being out of range.
The horizontal alignment for the CCM is a calibration check performed by the scan tool to insure the CCM radar is pointed straight. The scan tool identifies this as, Alignment Offset (Access the CCM and monitor the ALGN_OFF (Deg) PID) with a horizontal specification of +/- 3.0 degrees offset.
NOTICE: The vehicle's engine must be running during the horizontal alignment procedure. Failure to leave the engine running throughout the entire procedure results in the cancellation of the alignment procedure and the system remains non-functional.
For this code the pipoint test says to check the module and bracket for damage. if no damage do calibration, if it still doesn't work replace module.

Here are the numbers. Are they suppose to change if the truck is moving? Also, can the road use to calibrate have hills?

Update. The programming stays at 99% for a bit at the end of the calibration. I thought I had the swb srw setting for a crew can short bed. It is actually the mwb srw. I’m sure somebody knew this already and didn’t reply.

I’m having the same issue but I can’t figure out what you are referring to above that fixed it. No other DTCs but my CCM will not align less than 3 degrees, always at 3.8 degrees which is out of spec and causes the Pre-collision assist not available.

It is the setting in the sensor module telling the sensor what vehicle it is in. VIN is also set here.

Sorry, I’m pretty smart on FORSCAN and modifications like this, but I thought the only input into the CCM as-built data was the VIN. What is the module address/location you referring to in the CCM that needs the vehicle type changed? I did buy the CCM module used so I think it’s possible it’s got the wrong data but I don’t know where to look and make that update to the as-built.
