ADAS Calibration Requirements: Why a Clean Scan Isn’t Enough
ADAS — or advanced driver assistance systems — calibrations have become a routine part of collision repair, but misconceptions about when they’re required can lead to missed procedures, unnecessary work and added risk. In this episode, Isaac Aronson, product manager at OEC and a former automotive technician with nearly two decades of hands-on experience, shares why repairers shouldn’t rely on a clean scan or past experience alone. He explains how current OEM repair procedures can help shops identify calibration requirements, improve repair planning and documentation and avoid costly surprises.
