About Module 3: ADAS Calibration Process
This module provides hands-on technical training in the fundamentals of ADAS calibration. Learn how to correctly set up equipment, prepare vehicles, align calibration targets, and verify sensor accuracy for forward-facing cameras, radar, LiDAR, BSM, and 360° systems. You’ll cover static and dynamic calibration techniques using OE methods and tools, including plumb bobs, lasers, and wheel clamps.
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to:
Identify correct setup procedures for various ADAS calibration methods
Perform pre-checks to ensure successful calibration
Accurately measure and align targets using professional hardware
Understand tolerance ranges, sensor pitch/yaw/roll, and diagnostic tools
Troubleshoot failed calibrations with confidence
Prerequisite: Completion of “ADAS Components” module recommended.
Estimated Completion Time: ~60–90 minutes
Assessment: 10-question knowledge check included
This lesson introduces the fundamental purpose of calibration in ADAS systems. It explains what calibration is, when it's required, and why it's critical for vehicle safety and compliance. The content is written for learners new to ADAS technology, such as mechanics and apprentices.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to prepare both the vehicle and the environment for a successful calibration. A poor setup will lead to failed calibrations, no matter how accurate your tools are.
This lesson teaches technicians how to verify the success of ADAS calibrations, interpret scan tool data, recognise false positives, and identify common setup and alignment issues. A successful scan result does not always mean the calibration is truly accurate.
This assessment evaluates the learner’s understanding of key concepts, procedures, and real-world applications from Module 3 of the Smart AVR Basic ADAS Technical Training program. It is designed to ensure technicians can confidently apply theoretical knowledge to practical calibration tasks across camera, radar, BSM, and 360° systems. Purpose: To verify that the learner can: Identify correct procedures for static and dynamic calibration Interpret scan tool feedback and live sensor data Recognise and troubleshoot calibration errors Apply OEM procedures across a variety of ADAS components Execute pre-calibration readiness checks effectively Assessment Structure: Format: 30-question summative assessment Type: Mix of multiple choice, true/false, and multi-select questions Topics Covered: Camera alignment: pitch, yaw, roll Centreline measurement techniques Radar cone/plate setup and inclinometer use BSM calibration (cone vs Doppler) Reverse and 360° camera image alignment Headlight calibration principles Environmental and vehicle setup checks Data interpretation and scan tool diagnostics
