Recalibrate vehicle Advanced Driver Assistance System sensors
Overview
This standard is about recalibrating sensors in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) following removal and replacement of vehicle units/panels to facilitate vehicle fitting activities.
ADAS includes systems for driver safety, pedestrian safety, motion/stability control and collision avoidance systems.

P5 prepare and check the required calibration equipment following manufacturer’s instructions prior to use
P6 use all tools and equipment required for your recalibration activities, correctly and safely throughout
P7 use recalibration techniques which are relevant to the ADAS system type
P8 identify and record any system deviation from acceptable limits
P9 carry out all recalibration activities following:
P9.1 manufacturer’s instructions
P9.2 recognised recalibration methods
P9.3 health, safety and environmental requirements
P10 work in a way that minimises the risk of:
P10.1 damage to other vehicle systems
P10.2 damage to other components and units
P10.3 contact with leakages
P10.4 contact with hazardous substances
P11 ensure the calibration environment Is as identified by the manufacturer’s instructions
P12 recalibrate ADAS sensors correctly to ensure that they operate to meet vehicle system requirements and function to the vehicle manufacturer’s specified tolerances
P13 record the recalibration has been successfully completed and meets vehicle manufacturer’s specified tolerances
P14 ensure your records are accurate, complete and passed to the relevant person(s) within the agreed timescale and in the format required
P15 complete all recalibration activities within the agreed timescale
P16 promptly report any anticipated delays in completion to the relevant person(s)
