Seems I am missing component, my ACC is very intermittent, showing Radar Sensor Blocked, I have removed the bumper and cleaned the sensor, it was clean already. Comparing the Files to others posted on here I am missing showing the Assembly (F113) on the ECU infos. would the assumption be that the system cannot see this if inoperable and therefore will not list in the ECU infos. Could it mean that the unit is dead ? As previously stated, intermittent issue, well actually more off than on.

I suspect that either the radar unit is faulty or the wiring to it is faulty, possibly just a bad connection if one of the connectors isn't fully home or isn't sealed. Have you checked fault codes? |

I have checked fault codes and it is not showing any. I wonder if there is anyway of finding if the component F113 is actually the Radar Sensor itself. I do rather suspect, as you say maybe faulty or not connecting correctly. Looks like taking the bumper off again to check the connectors. But would be nice to know if that is the offending part. Just noticed when reading through this post I was missing the F113. Hopefully on the rare occasion it actually works, I will be able to scan again to see if it then appears. |

9G768 is the physical radar unit but the various components are the firmware components. Were your screenshots taken while it was or was not working? If you could stop and check when it does work then you will probably see the F113 component. |

Before looking for a replacement module I would try reloading the firmware which might solve the problem if the firmware has been corrupted or the firmware might fail to load due to a hardware fault within the radar unit. |

I suspect that will be found to be the cause of it dropping out. |

Thanks for all the help and advice. After trying all suggestions finally swapped out Radar Sensor and all working perfectly now. |

Is it possible to retrofit both ACC and Flappy paddles? I have a MY12 SC 5.0 US-spec, and already done the flappy paddle retrofit, and now wanted to add ACC. I don't believe there was another spot for the electrical connections inside the steering wheel for the ACC buttons. Has anyone successfully done both? |

It should be possible as I have recently added ACC to mine (which already has factory fitted flappy paddles) and the new switch pack that was required for the ACC had no more connections on it than the old standard cruise control switch pack I removed. My understanding of how the system detects the signals is limited but I believe it is done by each switch sending a different resistance down the few wires and the ECUs work out which switch has been pressed from there. I’m sure someone with more knowledge will be able to jump in and explain better. 2012 Westminster TDV8 4.4 Indus Silver

Thanks RichTD6. Based on your comment, I did purchase everything and did the retrofit. Happy with both ACC and Flappy paddles. |
