How to: Add Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, FCW & Auto Hi-beam to Ram 1500

[vincentw56]

I have bow completed all hardware installations (steering wheel buttons, abs module, and hcu with part numbers from the first post) and have followed the instructions to the letter. The brakes have been bled, codes cleared, and followed ABS bleed procedure. After all this, I still get the pictured errors. Could someone please advise if there may be something I'm missing? The only feature that I am trying to gain is ACC.

Thanks in advance,
Jay

More info needed. What year and trim? Did you already have a DASM?

Can you tell us what codes are set right now? I know when I got the warning light in the top left, I had a component activated but not installed. I also got this when I activated rain sensing wipers with the wrong module installed. It’s basically saying the BCM is receiving bad information or information from a module that is not installed.

2021 Rebel. DASM installed from the he factory. I'd like to ammend my previous comment on the new equipment. As I have recently been informed, the ABS module and hcu were not the correct models (basically, installed for no reason) I now have a new set of these components ordered. They are coming from a 2023 Laramie which has ACC from the factory (I figure they should be the right components as they have the same part numbers listed in these posts with only difference being the last two letters) I reinstalled my original CC switch in the meantime to get my function back which worked, but still have the lights on the dash for no fcw. I've restored the BCM from the backup made at the beginning of this process, but the lights are still on.

Like I said it is listed at the top of the thread. You can use search and just search this thread for all the posts. If I get time, I'll see if I can compile everything. You do not need surround view for this. It uses the sonar sensors in the bumper.

Thanks Vincent, I got the parts in and installed them. I did the rear harness with the outer sensors and the new module. I already have the 6 sensors in the front. I got the new harness and additional sensors installed. Before I made any of the config changes, I got the ParkSense Unavailable & Needs Service. This is only showing an issue on the rear parksense. I have went back and checked all my connections and I still got the errors.

Did you install the new parktronics module?

Yes, that’s the module on the left kick panel on teh drivers side, right?

Yes, you probably need to enable it through AlfaOBD.

Can you tell what all config changes to make. I made the following and still get the errors
VehConfig 1: PTS Configuration- Semi Automatic
VehConfig 5: Semi Automatic Parking System Present- Yes
Parktronics: Park Assist Tuning Set- Base 1/4 Channel/Sahara
