C0410 has no public trace; searches of the publicly available J2012 tables, of GM's keyword bulletin PIP5094 and of NHTSA's bulletin index came up empty. The text is therefore restricted to the sensor named in the title. Adaptive cruise control relies mostly on a radar sensor behind the front fascia that watches the lane ahead; Bosch describes how ACC holds the set speed while the road is clear and keeps a chosen gap once a slower vehicle appears, with a stop-and-go version that brakes to a halt below 30 km/h. Makers that document sensor faults use their own codes: Nissan stores C2581-78 or C2581-92 for the distance sensor on the 2022 Pathfinder and prescribes a check of mounting and alignment before parts are replaced. A sensor circuit fault switches ACC off.

Likely causes

Loose or corroded connector of the front radar sensor
Sensor or bracket bent after a minor impact, alignment lost
Radar sensor internally defective

Symptoms

  • Adaptive cruise control unavailable with a warning message
  • Forward collision warning or emergency braking disabled
