    Turn your cruise on..
    Then off _ on then set
    If you use brake pedal to disengage cruise you can reset it by just hitting set again.
    If you disengage cruise by the switch or button you'll have to start over.

    By the way if your cruise is on when the onguard disables you have to switch off your cruise.
    Then turn it on again and do the off/ on set.

    You don't have to stop. I had a onguard that disabled sometimes 2/3 times a day.
    All you have to do when this happens is switch the cruise off then turn it back on.
    Then turn it off and back on and hit set.
    Onguard will remain disabled.
    No need to stop and cycle key.

    Yes, sometimes the screen would read...
    Onguard disabled.
    Sometimes radar blocked.
    And yes sometimes the alignment message.
    Also those codes that show up ( SPN and FMI ) make sure you take a photo of those while they are on the screen.
    Onguard won't always hold them in the system.
    The first time I took mine in for repairs the tech told me this and was unable to do anything with it at the time. He's the one that told me to take photos of the codes while they're on the screen.
    That was the last time I even attempted to get it fixed because soon after that I found out how to make the cruise work even when onguard was disabled.

    By the way since it's your truck you should just go to the steelership and have them reprogram and disable that garbage.
