The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is promoting its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Specialist Certification test (L4) and the opportunity it can provide for repair shops, according to a press release.

The test serves to identify technicians who are capable of performing work on vehicles equipped with ADAS and connecting them with shops performing ADAS work.

Technicians who complete the L4 ADAS Specialist Certification test have demonstrated knowledge of how to diagnose, service, and calibrate ADAS on late-model automobiles, SUVs, and light-duty trucks.

Actions covered in the test include diagnosis, service, and calibration of radar, camera, ultrasonic, and other ADAS functions. Most test questions will be in reference to a sample vehicle with commonly seen ADAS technology.

In order to take the test, technicians must have completed either the Automobile Electrical/Electronic Systems (A6) or Collision Mechanical and Electrical Components (B5) test beforehand.
