In today's advanced automotive environment, safety systems are more sophisticated than ever, playing a critical role in preventing accidents and ensuring a seamless driving experience. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are at the forefront of these innovations, encompassing features like lane assist, forward collision avoidance, and backup cameras.
These systems are designed to keep you safe by constantly monitoring the vehicle's surroundings through cameras, radar, and lidar systems to detect potential hazards and react accordingly by providing alerts or taking corrective actions.
ADAS calibration ensures that these systems function accurately and reliably. It involves the precision alignment of camera angles, sensor positioning, and radar systems, which can be affected by various factors such as:
Accidents
Windshield replacement
Changes in tire size
Adjustments to ride height
Corrosion or wiring issues
For instance, even impact from a minor collision or a slight shift in a sensor bracket can throw off a system’s calibration. Recalibration is essential to restore harmony between all ADAS components and keep safety protocols intact.
A vehicle’s ability to "see" the road accurately depends on every camera and sensor being precisely aligned. Even a small deviation can lead to incorrect readings. For example, forward collision systems need to gauge distances up to 300 feet with accuracy.
Windshield replacements – Even a slight difference in glass curvature can throw off integrated camera angles.
Ride height changes – New tires or springs can alter radar angles, leading to incorrect system behavior.
Major alignment changes – If thrust angles are significantly adjusted, recalibration becomes essential.
Modern vehicles often provide malfunction indicators for sensor issues. However, not all system errors trigger a warning, which is why pre-scan and post-scan diagnostics are recommended after any repairs.
