Vertical Alignment

NOTE: In order to align the CCM, the front bumper cover must be removed to access the sensor and the vehicle must be in a wheel alignment bay station so that the vehicle is level.

NOTE: Damage to the CCM bracket may affect correct alignment. When aligning the CCM, inspect the CCM bracket for damage and repair as necessary before carrying out the alignment procedure.

1. Remove the front bumper cover.
   Refer to: Front Bumper Cover (501-19 Bumpers, Removal and Installation).
   

1. Place the vehicle on a wheel alignment bay station.
   

1. Locate the CCM alignment screw.
   

1. NOTE: Measurement must be taken from the non-raised side of the CCM.

   Place a combination square level on the face of the CCM and check the alignment.
   

1. NOTE: Measurement must be taken from the non-raised side of the CCM.

   Keeping the combination square level on the face of the CCM, adjust the pitch by using an E20 Torx® bit to adjust the screw until the CCM is vertical and level.
   

1. NOTE: Prior to installing the front bumper cover, clean and remove any debris on the front or back of the cover.

   Install the front bumper cover.
   Refer to: Front Bumper Cover (501-19 Bumpers, Removal and Installation).
   

Horizontal Alignment

NOTE: The horizontal alignment for the CCM is a software calibration check that is performed by the scan tool to insure the CCM radar is pointed straight. No manual adjustment is needed for this procedure. The scan tool calibrates the CCM through the CCM procedure in programmable parameters. The Alignment Offset specification is +/- 3.0 degrees of offset.

1. NOTICE: The vehicle's engine must be running during the horizontal alignment procedure. Failure to leave the engine running throughout the entire procedure results in the cancellation of the alignment procedure and the system remains non-functional.

   Start the engine.
   

1. Follow the scan tool on-screen instructions to carry-out the CCM calibration procedure.
