The Effects Of Wheel Alignment On ADAS
I-CAR · August 30, 2018
Summary
This article explains how wheel alignments directly impact ADAS functionality, as sensors and cameras rely on accurate vehicle travel direction and steering angle inputs. It highlights that many OEMs require ADAS calibration following a wheel alignment, or require a wheel alignment as a prerequisite step in the calibration process.
What to do on the job
Always consult OEM repair information to determine if an ADAS calibration is required after a wheel alignment, or if a wheel alignment must be performed as a step during the calibration process.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and sublet costs for ADAS calibrations and steering angle sensor resets whenever a wheel alignment is performed on a vehicle equipped with lane keep assist, collision braking, or other driver assistance systems.
