So I had the cruise running for about 46 miles of my 54 miles commute. And then while cruising at 75mph, the dreaded amber fault light came on
Took my exit, pulled over. Read the codes - DTC 74 (which is radar laser is off center). So I erased it and it went back to DTC 55 (no errors).
I got back and was able to use cruise for about a mile. Then had to stop at the lights. Cruise system was still "on" with only the green light on. When I started rolling again, the mph and a black color dot started to rapidly flash.

I turned the cruise system off and restarted it.. Worked normally after that for the last mile of the trip. When I pulled into the parking lot, it again did the rapid flashing. During the flashing, I cannot set the speed.
Now for the functionality test:
1. When the cruise system is working normally, I can adjust the distance setting (all 3 of them) using the button on the steering wheel.
2. It is able to detect vehicles in the right lane pretty accurately. I did some pretty aggressive slow downs with the system (set to 75mph and slow down to 50-55mph based on the semi truck in the right lane).
3. It has no clue about vehicles in the front/on-center or in the left lane. Doesn't matter which distance setting I am in, it just doesn't recognize the vehicles.
4. If I set a certain speed and accelerate, the "mph" symbol flashes 3 times and then I am in manual control of the speed. Once I let go off the gas pedal, mph flashes once and it regains the set speed.
5. I was horsing around trying to blast through a curve. The system detected too much body lean, slowed the vehicle down and then accelerated again once the body lean was gone (yaw sensors are tied to the ICC system?)
Overall, pretty slick. But, what the does the rapid flashing of the mph symbol and the black dot mean? Any way to align the on center of the radar outside of going to the dealership?
PS: I will take a picture of the label on the radar and post it over the weekend for future reference.
