Clinic Length: Approx. 3 hours, Tuition FREE This seminar focuses on educating technicians on the fast growing technical area of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems technology used on many vehicles. Systems such as blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, side-view cameras and 360° camera use will be discussed. We will highlight calibration methods for these systems within the class showcasing real-world procedures pre and post repair. A primary area of focus will be on where to find relevant information and what equipment is needed to perform these calibrations. Simply connecting a scan tool and clearing the lights that are on in the instrument cluster is not the answer, performing proper calibrations are. After completing this seminar, the student will have the knowledge to: Understand forward facing camera calibration procedures Diagnose ADAS system malfunctions related to braking concerns Test proximity and ultrasonic sensors Identify resources, information and tools necessary to complete ADAS calibration procedures Understand forward radar sensor calibration procedures Analyze related electronic systems that interact with the ADAS system in need of recalibration or adjustment after the alignment procedure Read More
