ADAS Calibration After Alignment.
ADAS calibration checks after wheel alignment, steering or suspension work in Taunton for supported vehicles.
Start With
Evidence.
Many ADAS systems use the vehicle's thrust line and steering-angle information as a reference. Alignment, steering or suspension changes can alter that relationship and trigger a manufacturer requirement for sensor calibration.
What You May Notice.
- 01Wheel alignment has been adjusted on an ADAS-equipped vehicle
- 02Steering or suspension components have been replaced
- 03The steering wheel or steering-angle value is no longer centred
- 04Driver-assistance behaviour changed after geometry work
What We Check.
- 01Confirm alignment information and the vehicle's specified procedure
- 02Check steering-angle and related sensor values
- 03Scan for ADAS and chassis-system faults
- 04Complete supported calibrations after prerequisites are satisfied
Useful Context.
ADAS calibration does not replace correct wheel alignment.
Tyres, ride height and steering position can affect the process.
The exact calibration requirement is manufacturer and model dependent.
Topic FAQ.
Should calibration happen before or after wheel alignment?+
Where alignment is a prerequisite, it should be completed and confirmed before the relevant ADAS calibration.
Does a small alignment adjustment matter?+
The required response depends on the vehicle procedure. Some manufacturers specify calibration after particular geometry changes.
