- What is an ADAS Calibration? An ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibration is a complex vehicle safety process that requires specialized equipment, software and specially trained technicians to adjust sensors, cameras and radars back to their OEM specifications to ensure that these safety components are functioning correctly
- What are some of the most common ADAS systems? Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and 360 Degree cameras.
- Are ADAS calibrations required if there are no DTC’s present? Yes! DTC’s (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) will not always be present when a calibration is required. Always refer to the OE Service Information (SI) for more in-depth details and manufacturer recommendations related to calibrations.
- What is the difference between a Dynamic Calibration and a Static Calibration? A Dynamic calibration is performed on the road using a scan tool. The vehicle will be driven a specifically prescribed speed and distance during appropriate weather conditions. A Static calibration is performed in a stationary location using specific equipment, targets and other special equipment.
- What are some of the most common problems that cause ADAS calibration failure? Some of the most common problems seen during calibrations are un-plugged modules, bent radar/module brackets and internally damaged ADAS components.
