I had the same issue with my 2018. Took to dealer and told them it wasn't working. Left it there all day. They called and said there was nothing wrong with it. I brought it home from dealer...wouldn't work. Went back the next morning and told them it didn't work. Service Manager called tech who worked on it the day before. He came and we went for a drive with him driving. It work as it was supposed to. I left dealer and I couldn't get it to work. I drove home and parked in the driveway. In my mind I re-created the steps from the service tech. The only thing he did that I didn't do was fasten his seat belt. I got back in the truck, hooked up seat belt and it works like a champ.

My first car was a 74 Toyota Celica - You had to put on the seat belt to start the car, no seat belt = No start

I wonder if it has anything to do with turning off the seatbelt minder? (probably not, but that's the only other difference I can think of)
I still don't get why you'd want to be on cruise control without a seatbelt on. Or driving more than a crawl. Seatbelts are awesome.

I tried mine just to test their findings, but I agree with the seat belt statement. I have forgotten to wear it twice in the past five years because I got in a hurry. As fate would have it, BOTH times I was spotted by the Highway Patrol & ticketed 
The first car I spoke of was before seat belts were required though, the car even had "LEADED FUEL ONLY" stamped under the gauge lol

Interesting. I'll try it on my retrofit ACC truck as well, could be something in the programming that we never bothered to mess with -- that the factory trucks had.

Once again i'll mention that this isnt about what should or shouldnt be done. Why am i allowed to use normal cruise control without a belt, but acc requires it? There should be a way to manipulate these parameters, no?

Tried it last night, ACC works fine on my retrofit. I do have seatbelt minder off, and I turned it off via Forscan. I don't think it matters which way you turn it off.
If you're really interested in this, I recommend you look at the programming we do to retrofit ACC, and compare to your as-built in those modules. Livnitup might know, but he should be focused on that 2018 module right now.
