2008 lane deparature warning signal
I have a 2008 Lucerne and I keep getting a "lane departure waring signal" reading on my dash. Does anybody know what this means and how I fix it?

Re: 2008 lane deparature warning signal

Here is an explanation of the lane departure warning signal on page 2-44 of the owners manual: The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system does not steer the vehicle and is only an aid to help you stay in your driving lane. The LDW system may not: • Provide you with enough time to avoid a lane change collision. • Be loud enough for you to hear the warning beeps. • Work properly under bad weather conditions or if the windshield is not kept clean. • Detect lane markings and will not detect road edges. • Warn you that your vehicle is crossing a lane marking if the system does not detect the lane marking. LDW will indicate the system is working whenever it detects either the left or right lane marking. So if you depart on the side of the lane that LDW is not detecting, LDW will not warn you. If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle position within the lane, vehicle damage, injury, or death could occur. Even with LDW, always keep your attention on the road and maintain proper vehicle position within the lane. Always keep the windshield clean and do not use LDW in bad weather conditions. Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions. Erica Tiffany GM Customer Service |

Re: 2008 lane deparature warning signal
it needs a new VDAAW (Vehicle Direction Alert Alarm Warning) module. this is the unit located by the rearview mirror on the windshield. we see them fail regularly. it will need to be programmed and have a relearn performed to learn the lane markings in order to function properly after module replacement.

Re: 2008 lane deparature warning signal
Good information. What is with these GM Customer Service people showing up on these auto sites? Useless, and quoting owners manuals.

Re: 2008 lane deparature warning signal
Just brought my Lucern home from the dealer. Needs a new lane departure module. This would be the second one. First one was done under warranty. At $700.00 they can shove this technology where the sun don't shine. Why does GM keep making this crap that does not work. Oh by the way, at the same time have been diagnosed with an oil leak at the valve covers. That is only $585.00 to fix. Another common North Star engine problem. Just out of warranty at 70,000 miles.

Re: 2008 lane deparature warning signal
fullthrottle...my neighbor has so much trouble with the northstar in his Cadillac DTS that he got rid of the car. Some can be reasonably good, so I hope you have one of the better ones. As for gadgets/technology in cars, I stay away from that as much as I can. I know how to drive, and don't need technology to do it properly. In 20 years people will lose all basic driving skills because of technology.

"Vehicle Direction Alert Alarm Warning module" - We USED TO call that a central nervous system but it was part of the driver equipment package, not the vehicle equipment.

Re: 2011 Buick lane deparature replacement
I purchased a new module and installed it as directed; still shows "service lane departure warning". Since this is a genuine GM part, does it have to be programmed by the dealer to work properly? The on-line comments said it was "plug and play" with no programming required.
