    Hi I have a Volvo 2019 x15 engine with the lovely Vada sensor system. Some months ago an air popped up saying there was no connection and the cruise control would stop working. It would randomly fix itself. Finally Volvo replaced the plug that goes into the sensor. Problem is happening again and a different Volvo says it might be the relay which I assume is the cord that runs from the sensor through the engine up into the dash or wherever. It could be pinched or corroded. Is there any way to get my cruise control back before this issue can be looked at and does that sound like the logical explanation unless it's the actual sensor itself malfunctioning which is a very expensive replacement

    I recently purchased a 2019 VNL760 and it has the VADA as well, upon picking up my truck I had a code saying the VADA sensor is misaligned and it will not allow me to engage cruise control but after I unplugged the harness from the sensor, cruise control will work minus the adaptive cruise control and a check light on dash. Try it out!

    I did that to mine. No more beeping and normal cruise control works.
