SCRS Quick Tip: ADAS Target Tolerance

This Quick Tip Video from the Society of Collision Repair Specialists covers the importance of procedures and target placement in calibrations in under four minutes.

As vehicle technology advances, precise calibrations have never been more critical. In this conversation, Josh McFarlin of AirPro Diagnostics and Michael Giarrizzio Jr. of DCR Systems discuss why adherence to procedures and exact target placement during calibrations is essential — and how even small variances can impact forward-facing cameras and other ADAS sensors. 

Hear examples breaking down how tolerance works, what it really means for technicians, and why relying on “wiggle room” can lead to repeat failures. This video will help you to learn about influencing factors like brackets, glass installation, and sensor alignment, and emphasizing how accurate measurements and following service information are the keys to successful calibrations.  

This video was filmed at the I-CAR Training Center in Appleton, Wisconsin.
