Problem overview

Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing cruise control failure, often accompanied by a dashboard message prompting them to clean the grill. This message is likely linked to the adaptive cruise control system, which relies on clean sensors and cameras to function correctly. Owners also note difficulties in maintaining a consistent speed, which may stem from sensor malfunctions, software glitches, or mechanical issues. If the sensors and cameras are obstructed or not calibrated properly, this can further hinder the system's performance. To address these issues, some owners find it necessary to perform diagnostic checks on the system's components. If troubleshooting proves challenging, seeking assistance from a certified mechanic is recommended to accurately diagnose and repair the problem. Additionally, regular maintenance, including cleaning the grill and ensuring the adaptive cruise control system is in optimal condition, is crucial to prevent future failures.
