Vehicle Diagnostics

KeyCal

Most modern vehicles have multiple Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) equipped in their vehicle.

If a vehicle has been involved in an accident it is quite common for the sensors to be damaged as they are usually located in the bumpers and grilles of vehicles.

Modern repair facilities will identify any damage to areas where ADAS sensors are fitted and replace the module and any damaged wiring (all ADAS sensors have a warning written on them to replace if dropped/impacted).   In some cases even though the sensor does not look damaged, it is still recommended by the OEM to perform a recalibration to confirm the sensors are in the correct orientation and functioning as designed.

Majority of OEMs specify that at a minimum, a collision repair involves a pre and post diagnostic scan at a minimum, but any required calibrations must be completed.

The most common calibrations required for front end collisions are:

  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Park Assist
  • Automatic Brake Assist / Automatic Emergency Braking
  • All Round View Monitor Camera

The most common calibrations required for rear end collisions are:

  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • Lane Change Assist
  • Park Assist
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • All Round View Monitor Camera

If your vehicle requires a diagnostic scan or ADAS calibration, then book an appointment with us.
