DIY: Installing ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) and LKA (Lane Keep Alert) to 2022 F-150 Lightning XLT

[watts/up]

Thanks. Looking at the spreadsheet, I think you're right. I'll try and give it a shot tomorrow.

Success!

Done!

Really excited to add this feature to my truck. Here's a quick overview of my experience:

I got lucky and my truck had wiring all the way to C134. Rather than redo the existing bumper harness I made my own 4-wire run from the CCM to C134. I only had to have the bumper off for about 10 minutes and only needed to remove about four screws to feed my add-on harness to the CCM. Going this route, here are the parts you'd need:

DIY CCM Pigtail
TE 1411001-1 (CCM Plug)
TE 2-1393367-2 (Socket Connector 22awg) x 4
- or - TE 2-1393366-2 (Socket Connector 20awg) x 4
20 or 22awg Wire
Split Wire Loom - 1/4, ~6’
Electrical Tape (I used Super 33)

C134 Connector Pins (Molex MX150L)
19420-0002* (Female Socket Connector 22-18awg) x 4
19417-0028* (Male, if you need to run wires back to C265 or IPMA) x 4
*I believe that these are correct but didn't have to buy them because I used a salvaged harness from another forum member.

Updates were relatively painless but I really owe a huge thanks to @B177y for posting the updated PDF of changes and for answering my questions. My changes consisted of a mix of values from the OP and the PDF and two values had already been changed from prior updates. Thankfully, the process went smoothly and everything seems to be working as expected. I did get the "Adaptive Cruise Control Not Available" error but that resolved itself after a couple hours.

In addition to thanking all the forum member who contributed to this thread thanks to @KurtsRPMGarage for posting his install video. I think I watched that about a hundred times before finally attempting this.

Finally, some pics:

Now head over to the Comma.ai website and get yourself one for a Father's Day present. You won't regret it!

One question after enabling ACC: I now have a toggle for "Intelligent" cruise control but the truck says it's not available when I try selecting it. I've spent some time searching this forum and the web and have turned up conflicting information as to what it provides. Some say it controls speed based on sign recognition but regular ACC seems to already do that. Should this option be available to me or is it situation (e.g. roadway markings, weather, speed) or trim dependent?

Also, my speed limit sign is on the left of the speedometer. Looks like other have it on the right?

Both of those seem odd.

Haven't ever heard of or seen "Intelligent" cruise, at least it's not on my truck with the settings that I posted and I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread. Likely a Forscan option somewhere along the way. I would double check your new values on the master forscan spreadsheet to see what's up. Use a laptop or desktop for best viewing:

Same with the speed limit sign, you probably changed something to a Euro-spec right hand drive or something like that along the way.

These are both just my wild-ass best guesses.

Thanks. I've been researching what could be the discrepancy. One probably unrelated follow-up question: what cruise control mode on your truck resulted in this picture?

I'm not able to replicate this nor have I seen it elsewhere. As for the traffic (speed-limit) sign mine is in the same place but I've seen other screenshots of it on the right of the speedo. Maybe a software revision?

Edit: mine is similar to this one posted previously by another member.

That looks like older IPC software. Mine moved from the right side of the speedometer to the left side after my IPC was updated.

I think @priceb is correct. Probably an updated IPC. I updated everything in FDRS before doing the ACC mod. I haven't updated anything since because it's all working so well and I didn't want any settings or ForScan changes to be reversed. I've only received a couple of minor OTAs and everything stayed the same so far.

The pic that I posted is when it's in ACC/Lane Centering mode. I thought I did something wrong at first because I hadn't seen that layout on any of the pictures posted either. I have since seen other pics of the 2024's with that layout.

Initially when you said that your speed sign was on the left side, I thought you meant on the left side of the IPC, not the left side of the speedo. Mine has always been at the left side of the speedo even without all of the ACC ForScan changes.

Were you able to track down anything about the "intelligent" cruise toggle?

Great upgrade. Thanks for everyone that posted information and got it all mapped out. Super happy with this upgrade, was always wanting this. Took me about 12 hours. But a lot of self-inflicted hurdles, like not slicing the wires enough… 🫤

Great job, I love it when other people get OCD with the factory plugs makes me feel less nerdy

Finally got around to figuring out this issue last weekend: I double-checked all my FORScan changes and thought everything looked correct so I opened APIM in "easy mode" and found a setting called "Cruise Control Variant 2" that was set to disabled. Switching this to enabled swapped my previous CC screen to the correct one providing additional adaptive settings that remain selected upon truck restarts. It looks like this setting maps to 7D0-09-04 which is specified as a required change so I must have missed it in my review.
