Absolutely. It's going to take some time to figure out exactly what I changed in Forscan, lots of trial and error, but I have backups of all the original values so I should be able to compare.

Adaptive Cruise Control on XLT Hybrid?

Awesome work man. If I don't end up trading in for the Lariat Lux I ordered, this is on my list. Really cool to see the community figure out stuff like this!
NZ6Z-15K867-A
But I'm not sure exactly how far this will get you. I basically had to run 4 wires from the front bumper to the fuse block under the glove box, then two wires from there up to the camera module above the rear view mirror.
So is this going to work for nearly any model or is it specific for XLT lux?
I have a base XLT on order and this is the one item i want to add that should have been on all models.

Adaptive cruise control in the Escape/Maverick platform seems to be controlled within the IPMA (image processing module, above the rear-view mirror). If the vehicle is a hybrid and has an IPMA, in theory this mod could be carried out to enable ACC. Taking a quick scan through the Google spreadsheet comparing trim levels and modules included, it looks like every trim level has the IPMA: (compliments of @TrippMe)
If the vehicle is NOT a hybrid, the brake booster must be added to the ABS system. I have come across posts on the Fusion and Escape forums with walk-throughs of that install, but I didn't save them.
Then, it's just a matter of installing the vehicle speed sensor/cruise control module (CCM) and running two wires (power/ground) from the CCM to the fuse block and two wires (CAN high and CAN low) from the CCM to the IPMA. A few Forscan changes later and you're good to go.
So yes, in theory, I think ACC could be enabled in any trim level.

Thanks for all the hard work in figuring this out. I will be assembling these parts and installing it on an Ecoboost XL. I am still working to find a Electric brake booster from a wrecked hybrid, but I am looking for one local to me so I can have a chance to see how it's all wired up. I am hoping to at least get all the parts and install it with the regular booster to see what problems it brings up. Seen alot of salvage mavericks, but barely any salvage Hybrids.
I haven't done much research into the ABS mods required, but I believe the parts are the same as on the Escape hybrid. Take a look at this thread over on the Ford Escape board.
Damnnnnnn. This is exciting! Great job man, I was prepared to dive into this for my XLT as we can't get lariat in Canada.

You do not.
brake booster is in Hybrid trims (if you are driving in electric, needs a way to brake)
Or it’s in lariat trim as it has adaptive cruise already installed, and needs this booster to brake the vehicle itself.
I posted the first draft of my full ACC write-up. There are some pictures and part numbers missing, but it is mostly complete. It can be found here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...trol-in-hybrid-xlt-with-luxury-package.14586/
