Improperly calibrated, a forward-facing system can be tracking a fire hydrant or a construction barrel 3 feet to the left rather than the car ahead.
That's the margin a dynamic calibration is supposed to close.
It only closes if the vehicle is in spec before the drive, the drive matches what the OEM wrote, and someone verifies the result afterward.
→ Is the calibration required at all, even with no DTC present?
→ Are voltage, fuel level, ride height, and tire pressure within spec?
→ Are related repairs and the alignment done first?
→ Does the drive meet the OEM's conditions, uninterrupted?
→ Do the post-scan and road test confirm the systems respond?
→ Does the file answer the adjuster's question?
On October 27 at 1 PM ET, Joel Adcock walks through each of these for shops performing dynamic calibrations in-house. 201 level, free, recording included with registration.
