>> Description
This Advanced Driver Assist Systems Diagnostics webinar
offers a unique approach to diagnosing and calibrating the
various sensors and systems. Unlike other training that
focuses on sensor technology, we skip the engineering
information in favor of practical tests and calibration
advice. This webinar makes this information 'real' by
providing many OEM and aftermarket calibration examples,
including many case studies where it all went very wrong.
Anyone can read calibration instructions, so this webinar
and manual focus on both simple and challenging real-world
experiences, translating technical information into everyday
shop processes.
>> Specific Topics
· Where to find out what 'normal operation' feels like
· Checking tricky user settings with Scan Tools and
driver menus
· Differentiating marketing from reality (sensors,
systems, suites, packages, and actual functions)
· Warnings about mistakes, even when using OEM
procedures
· Sonar, radar and camera calibrations using OEM &
aftermarket equipment
· Circuit & network test advice & examples
· Diagnostic options advice for each sensor type
· Case studies covering failed calibrations, failed
sensor, improper mounting, and confusing instructions
>> Who Needs an ADAS Class?
Everyone! ADAS training is necessary for high end diagnostic
and programming technicians, but it's becoming an issue for
technicians at every level. ADAS systems may need repair or
calibration after:
Any steering or suspension service Alignment Windshield
replacement Bumper removal for unrelated work such as
lights, radiator, or condenser replacement Modifications to
suspension geometry or tire size Side mirror replacement
Steering angle sensor replacement Minor accidents -- even if
body work is not required Additionally, proper ADAS training
will help techs avoid problems they never know existed, such
as:
ADAS system issues due to improper wiper blade length
Inoperative ADAS functions due to window coatings, tinting,
stickers, etc. Even bumper stickers, tape, and paint
thickness can cause serious safety concerns What If I Don't
Want to Calibrate ADAS?
According to the list above, ADAS is an issue for even
simple repairs, but not everyone will choose to become an
expert in repairing and calibrating these systems. Even so,
every tech needs to be familiar with all of the systems and
possible crossovers into the repairs that they do perform.
Why? Because you'll want to know what sensors to be careful
with, and when to sublet calibrations after repairs or even
routine service. Most importantly, you'll want to be able to
identify each system, what it does and how it should behave
on a test drive. Because even if you don't work directly on
ADAS systems, you're still expected to verify that
everything you touched works properly before returning the
vehicle to the customer. Sometimes that includes things you
didn't touch, but rather related items such as bumper
covers.
>> Why This is For Everyone
There's a huge opportunity for ADAS-trained technicians, but
it's just as important for techs that never want to touch it
because they must be aware of repairs and services that
affect ADAS operation. As long as the required calibration
and verification time is sold to the customer, it's a win
for everyone, even if the actual calibrations are performed
by someone else.
