Anyone having an issue with the Adaptive Speed Control displaying an error from time to time.
It reads Adaptive Cruise Control Not Available When this happens I also cannot switch over to Normal Speed Control as part of the Driver Assist settings.
I can stop, turn off and exit the vehicle and then restart it and it could re-appear. Later the next day (after several stops) or the next day it may start working again.
This has now happened on 4 different days, while also working inbetween the the errors.
Haven't heard of MKZ's having this problem, maybe it's not wide-spread?
What you can try doing is going to your Lincoln dealer and asking if they can reset the module so it could possibly clear the problem.
That sounds terribly inconvenient. Haven't heard of that problem yet though. Looks like you'll have to go to the dealership. Hopefully it is a quick fix and they already are award of the problem.
Adaptive cruise control is one of the features I am most excited about on the MKZ. Turning off and on cruise control will soon be something lost to history. I can't wait to join the 21st century.
I'm not familiar with this stuff. What will a TSB (I had to Google to find out that that stands for Technical Service Bulletin) tell the mechanic? Does it tell him that the issue exists? Does it tell him how to fix the issue? Something else?
I am experiencing the same symptoms in my MkZ. Intermittent
"Adaptive Cruise Control Not Available
When this happens I also cannot switch over to Normal Speed Control as part of the Driver Assist settings."
From the TSB mentioned it claims it's linked to re-fueling. Were you all having this trouble directly after filling up that drive, or the drive cycle before?
I can't seem to recall this only happening after filling up at the pump.
Let me know and I am going to be taking this in soon, as long drives are a bit of a nuisance without adaptive cruise, let alone regular cruise!
I experienced this happening 2-3 times a week until they located a TSB to fix the problem. Point your dealer's service to the TSB I listed in post #20 of this thread.
This is what was listed on the repair order I got back when they fixed it and it has been working perfectly since then (Jan 2014) "Reprogram ICP per TSB 131214"
It's been 6 weeks and the re-programing the service tec did is still working. I haven't had a problem with the adaptive cruise control since. They even went online to see your comments about the problem. Thanks to everyone for their input.
You’ll learn how to turn your Adaptive Cruise Control on and off. You’ll also learn what “following gap” means; how to adjust it between Far, Medium and Near; and how the system might warn you.
