Typical Calibration Requirements For Forward Radar Sensors
I-CAR · October 12, 2016
Summary
This article outlines the typical calibration requirements for forward radar sensors, which are used for systems like Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Braking. Calibration (either static or dynamic) is generally required after sensor replacement, front bumper/grille removal, front structural repairs, or sensor R&I.
What to do on the job
Perform a static or dynamic calibration of the forward radar sensor whenever the sensor is replaced or R&I'd, the front bumper/grille is removed, or front structural repairs are performed.
How to use it
This general I-CAR document can be used during the estimating or supplementing process to justify line items for forward radar calibration and scanning. Specifically, it supports charging for calibration not just when the sensor is replaced, but also after common operations like front bumper/grille R&I or front-end structural repairs.
