What Is ADAS Calibration?
ADAS stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, which include these technologies:
- Lane departure warning
- Adaptive cruise control
- Automatic emergency braking
- Blind spot detection
- Parking assistance
These systems rely on cameras, radars, light detection sensors, and other tools to help your vehicle detect road hazards and assist with driving tasks.
When these systems rely on sensors that have been disturbed, such as after a windshield replacement, collision repair, or wheel alignment, they require ADAS calibration to return to proper alignment and function properly.
Why ADAS Calibration Is Important
Many ADAS functions operate at specific speeds and depend on accurate input from various vehicle sensors. Even slight misalignment can result in false readings or failures. For example:
- A misaligned ADAS camera system could cause your lane departure warning to activate unnecessarily.
- A radar sensor that’s off by just a few millimeters might not detect an object in time for automatic emergency braking to react.
That’s why having your ADAS calibrated by trained professionals is an important part of keeping your vehicle safe and operating correctly.
When Do You Need ADAS Calibration Services?
There are several situations that require ADAS recalibration:
Windshield replacement
Many ADAS systems include cameras mounted to the windshield. Replacing the auto glass requires windshield calibration services to restore accuracy.
Collision repair
Even minor accidents can shift the ADAS sensors out of position.
Suspension or steering repair
Repairs affecting your vehicle’s height or steering angle can throw off ADAS alignment.
Tire or wheel changes
Especially if there’s a change in tire size or a wheel alignment is performed.
Dashboard warning lights
If your driver assistance systems ADAS warning light is on, recalibration may be needed.
Ignoring these signs can lead to malfunctioning ADAS functions and increased safety risks.
Our ADAS Calibration Process in Denver, CO
At The Import Mechanics, we follow a careful ADAS calibration process using advanced diagnostic tools and specialized equipment.
Here’s how it works:
1. Diagnostic Scan
We begin with a full diagnostic scan to identify any issues or misaligned parts in your ADAS technologies. This helps our skilled technicians understand which systems need attention.
2. Static or Dynamic Calibration
Depending on the vehicle and the ADAS systems installed, we use one or both types of calibration:
- Static calibration is performed in a controlled environment using targets placed around the vehicle.
- Dynamic calibration involves driving the vehicle at specific speeds so the system can recalibrate itself using real-world data.
Both methods require advanced diagnostic tools and extensive knowledge of each vehicle’s specifications.
3. Alignment Checks
We verify your vehicle’s sensors are in proper alignment with OEM specifications. This helps maintain proper functionality of all safety systems.
4. Final Test
After the calibration process, another scan confirms that all ADAS systems are properly calibrated and functioning correctly.
We Provide Windshield Calibration Services Too
If you’ve had a windshield replacement, your ADAS camera system must be recalibrated. We offer both mobile windshield calibration and in-shop windshield calibration depending on your vehicle’s needs.
