Calibration Research Tips: Mitsubishi Radar Sensor
I-CAR · November 12, 2020 · Mitsubishi
Summary
This article explains that Mitsubishi vehicles vary in their ADAS hardware configurations, with some models using a combined radar sensor (ACC/FCM-ECU) and forward-facing camera system, while others rely solely on the camera (FCM/LDW/AHB-ECU) for collision warning and braking. It highlights the importance of identifying the specific components present on a vehicle to ensure correct diagnostics and calibration.
What to do on the job
Verify the specific ADAS hardware configuration (camera-only vs. camera and radar) for the exact Mitsubishi model and year being repaired to determine correct calibration requirements.
How to use it
Use this document to justify research time and line items for ADAS identification. It proves that Mitsubishi vehicles do not have a one-size-fits-all ADAS setup, meaning technicians must explicitly identify whether a radar sensor (ACC/FCM-ECU) is present behind the bumper cover in addition to the windshield camera before finalizing a repair plan or calibration estimate.
