When Does ADAS Need Calibration

ADAS systems must be recalibrated whenever certain repairs or changes are made to a vehicle.

Common situations include:

Windscreen Replacement

Many vehicles have forward-facing cameras mounted to the windscreen. After replacement, these cameras must be calibrated.

Accident Repairs

Even minor accident damage can affect radar sensor alignment or camera positioning.

Suspension or Steering Repairs

Changes to ride height, suspension components, or steering geometry can affect ADAS accuracy.

Wheel Alignment

Many ADAS systems depend on the vehicle being aligned correctly.

Module Replacement

If an ADAS control module or sensor is replaced, programming and coding are required.

Failing to calibrate these systems correctly can lead to false warnings, incorrect braking interventions, or system failures.
