ADAS Calibration in Raleigh and Garner, NC

The automobile industry is constantly on the lookout for ways to make driving safer and easier. They regularly introduce technologies that help reduce accident rates, traffic, and counteract driver error. ADAS is one such technology. ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems can control many of your car’s processes, including automatic headlights, wipers, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning systems, etc. As one of the only shops in the Raleigh and NC Triangle Area that has the training and equipment necessary to calibrate these systems, we have a very good understanding of them.

About ADAS Calibration

All sophisticated ADAS components require accurate sensors and smooth transfer of information. If sensors aren’t properly calibrated, they can’t understand what’s around the car or provide services such as lane departure warnings. Perfectly calibrated sensors ensure all systems receive accurate information, which helps them execute pre-programmed processes effectively.

Like all components of your vehicle, these sensors require proper maintenance and care. Car owners cannot just forget about them and expect reliable performance. Our technicians can carry out comprehensive testing to ensure every part of the auto glass related ADAS system is working as expected. If they find any issues, a recalibration can be performed to try and fix the issue.

What Does ADAS Calibration Involve?

When it comes to ADAS calibrations related to auto glass there are two main types depending on the make and the model of the vehicle; a dynamic calibration or a static calibration. A dynamic process provides our technicians live feedback because they are inspecting and calibrating sensors while the car is on the move. Our experts can see how small changes affect a car’s response to different situations actively.

A static process is performed when your car is stationary and parked in a controlled environment. Technicians use specialized tools and targets for assessment or repairs. Static calibrations are a little more difficult because it requires the technician to recreate strict conditions necessary to calibrate these sensitive sensors based on manufacture specifications.

A trained expert can obtain optimal results from both of these processes. We always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when it comes to calibration as it ensures the best results.

Signs That You Need a Windshield Recalibration

Car owners can look out for several distinct signs that indicate their vehicle needs calibration. Here is a look at some of them:

• Windshield Damage or Replacement – Most ADAS sensors are mounted on or behind windshields, which means damage to your windshield can disrupt your ADAS system.
• Collision – The force of a collision is often enough to knock a few sensors out of proper alignment. Get a calibration or inspection after an accident, regardless of how minor it is.
• Replacing Tires – Replacing tires or adjusting their height alters a car’s position relative to the ground, which means sensors must be calibrated for the newer parameters. If you have replaced tires or increased a car’s height, get all sensors adjusted again.
• ADAS Lights – All ADAS-enabled cars have indicator lights to warn drivers about issues. If this light is on or blinking, you may need an inspection or calibration.
