Types of ADAS calibration performed
There are two types of ADAS calibration: static calibration and dynamic calibration. The type of calibration required can vary based on the make, model or year of the vehicle. Some vehicle makes can require a static calibration or a dynamic calibration, while other makes (such as Honda) need both types of calibration.
Static calibration is performed by using certain electronic devices along with a laser and targets specific to the model of each vehicle. Sensor positioning standards are set by the manufacturer. The technician places a target in the center of the vehicle (at a distance and height predetermined by the manufacturer) in a perpendicular manner to the thrust angle. The technician proceeds with the ADAS calibration using a specific software.
Dynamic calibration is performed with the help of a portable electronic device that is plugged into the vehicle’s OBD II port. The latter must be rolling and following lines drawn on the road. The vehicle sensors and the radar are the placed in learning mode in order to recalibrate their bearings. A diagnostic tool then allows is to perform the ADAS calibration.
