DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

[Marcabus1234]

So, I have started designing my installation for the adaptive cruise control on my 2024 Tremor Ecoboost. I have received all of my parts, except for the actual radar sensor (I'm waiting on UPS). After reading through this thread and the generous help of a few form members (You guys rock!!!!!!!) I think I have a solid game plan. I am using the idea that 3DMaverick suggested (post #825), and I 3D scanned my grill. I am designing a bracket that will not require cutting the grill and should also allow me to complete the installation without removing the front bumper . Here are a few pictures from Solidworks of my design so far. Once I receive my sensor, I can complete the design. However, I have already test-fitted the bracket, and it fits my grill nicely.

I will be 3d printing this solid from ASA, which will withstand high temperatures and UV light and is very impact-resistant. I will also be using brass heat-set inserts for all the threaded connections.

Once this design is finalized, I will share all my files on either Thingiverse or Printables.

I'm starting the install this month. Could someone send me the firmware for the CCM? I'll pass it forward by filming and documenting the whole install for the next person

I can forward you the CCM firmware. One of the other members shared it with me recently. I have not had a chance to actually load it yet however it is the same firmware that others have used with success so you should be good to go with it.

DM me with your email and I can send it to you tonight when I get off work.

Okay, so I have finished the model for the CCM mount to attach to my 2024 Tremor grill. This should also fit all Maverick XLT grills.

There is no need to cut your grill to do this. However, you will have to drill four holes in the rear vertical support behind the grill. This mount works by sandwiching between the grill and the rear support using four M5 bolts.

I will follow up with more photos and information when I conduct the installation next weekend.

Here is a link to all my files on Printables. I have included STL files, Solidworks files, and the 3D scans of the grill and CCM.

I got everything wired on a 2024 XLT Hybrid w/ lux package. I uploaded the firmware to an LB5T-9G768-AB radar.

Applying ltmoto's codes gets me in a weird state where there's errors that the radar isn't calibrated or aligned (yeah) but I have no option to calibrate the radar itself.

Also getting "pre collision assist not available" errors. Not sure what to do here if anyone has suggestions.

Interesting, I appreciate the swift reply. It's making me consider getting a genuine Maverick sensor at this rate.

The errors I get are B1433 - Missing calibration, like you, but I also get B142E - Horizontal alignment- Alignment or adjustment incorrect.

That makes me wonder what's happening. That option isn't there either. Will keep looking into it. It seems like I'm the only one in this thread that's had this issue so far...

Had a second sensor lying around (long story) and it has the same DTCs as Bluespec1- but I *still* don't have a method to calibrate it, just reboot it. Agh!

Silly question but did you get the extended license for Forscan? I think you need it to do the calibration.

Just an FYI I bought a used Maverick one off eBay for around $250 and didn't even need to calibrate it. I added it to my car via Forscan with the VIN coding and it just started working on its own.

Yes, I did. I reprogrammed all the modules and the car is so close, just the front sensor needs alignment.

Does the CCM even show up in the tools screen?

When you connect Forscan to your Maverick it asks if you want to use a saved build. You can try saying no and starting a new build. That will cause the software to search for new hardware. that might cause it to show up for you.


Also, try disconnecting the vehicle battery for a while like an hour or so then re connect it. If you have the hybrid it's the 12v battery under the hood. This will reset all the computers in the car.

Okay, I figured it out- Another success, and now I'm rocking a Comma 3x on top of it.

The quirk with this is that the option to calibrate the CCM wasn't there in the latest version of FORScan (grr). It was available in version 2.3.60 which was the ticket in. You can download it at the releases page here for FORScan: https://forscan.org/changes_history.html

Important, useful things to note too:

2024 Maverick XLT Hybrid with Lux

I'm using an M2DT-9G768-AC CCM module, which is much cheaper than a Maverick unit- this might save you ~$200 if you're starting fresh.
The module was recognized initially, but I flashed the firmware before I saw if the old firmware was fine for it. With how the car behaved initially, you may even be good not flashing the firmware- but no warranty expressed or implied... Do share your results if you try this route.

I had an error about the alignment being off despite calibrating it multiple times, but I found the issue; There's a vehicle type value in the configuration that needs to be set to 4D; V is your VIN in hexadecimal:

CCM AsBuilt:
764-01-01: 4DVV VVVV VV
764-01-02: VVVV VVVV VV
764-01-03: VVVV VVVV VV
764-01-04: VVVV VVxx xx

4D seems to be a valid Maverick 'vehicle type' value, and adaptive cruise worked the moment it was written. It was pulled from a 2024 Lariat hybrid as-built.

Past that, here's some more info:

22 AWG four conductor shielded wire did just fine going from IMPA to fusebox to front bumper.

Highly recommend you use triple-pin micro fuse taps for this install, as there's two unused ones on the fusebox for this vehicle that are wired to ignition.

You can buy/use a pocket oscilloscope to verify CAN high/low before you wire up the pigtail to the radar. CAN high will *raise* from a specific voltage and CAN low will *lower* from that voltage. If the square waves look stable and discrete you should be A-OK!

This was a lot of fun and I'm happy with the results. Getting through the boot was the hardest part.

Will share my full build codes soon! Reach out if anyone has questions or if you would like the firmware that's being shared around here.

Curious what the M2DT-9G768-AC CCM displays in forscan.

So I finished my install yesterday and everything works great . Thanks again to all the members who helped our you guys are the best .

I did have a some issues with the Forscan coding though. I tried all the settings the other members provided and nothing worked. I constantly had errors and DTCs.

I ended up downloading the as built file from the motorcraft website and comparing it to my stock file to get the changes I needed.

The only issue I still have is every time I start the truck now I get a warning message on the dash to check the rear parking aid. My truck doesn't have the rear parking aid sensors or the PAM module. I'm assuming one of the settings I used from the lariat needs to be edited.

Has anyone else had this issue or any suggestions on what I should look at for the coding?
