ADAS Calibration – Step-by-Step Process
1. System Check & Diagnostic Scan
The vehicle’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are scanned to identify any existing faults or required recalibrations.
2. Pre-Calibration Setup
The vehicle is positioned on a level surface with proper lighting. Wheel alignment may be checked or adjusted first, as ADAS sensors rely on precise geometry.
3. Target Placement
Specialist calibration equipment (such as camera boards or radar reflectors) is positioned around the vehicle based on manufacturer specifications.
4. Calibration Process
Using diagnostic tools, the system communicates with the vehicle to adjust and reset ADAS components—such as cameras, sensors, and radars—back to factory settings.
5. Post-Calibration Verification
A final system scan is done to confirm that all ADAS features (lane assist, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, etc.) are functioning correctly.
6. Road Test (if required)
Some vehicles may need a road test to complete dynamic calibration, where sensors calibrate while the vehicle is in motion.
7. Report & Handover
A full calibration report is printed and provided to confirm the work done and that the vehicle is safe and ADAS-ready.
