ADAS Calibration After Glass, Alignment, Suspension or Collision Repair
A planning guide for camera/radar calibration with geometry, tire pressure, ride height, steering-angle and OEM procedure controls.
Vehicle geometry is part of the sensor reference
Correct camera or radar hardware can still point incorrectly when ride height, alignment or body geometry is outside specification.
- Set tyre pressures and confirm correct tyre sizes.
- Verify wheel alignment and body geometry.
- Evaluate steering-angle and yaw-sensor zero points.
Static and dynamic calibration are not interchangeable
Some applications require targets, some require a road procedure, and others require both.
- Identify the exact year, model and sensor variant.
- Never copy target distance, height or angle from another application.
- Complete all OEM preconditions before accepting a successful calibration.
Create evidence after the repair
A pre-scan, calibration record and post-scan provide a technical trail for the workshop and vehicle owner.
- Keep pre- and post-repair scan results.
- Record calibration result and software level.
- Verify lane/radar functions under the operating conditions defined by the manufacturer.

Service note
This guide does not provide a fixed price or vehicle-independent replacement order. Exact procedures, torque, fluids, calibration and high-voltage values must be matched to verified service information for the exact vehicle application.
Sources & freshness
Exact technical values, prices and failure rates are not invented without verified vehicle/manufacturer evidence.
