Is ADAS calibrations required after collision?

Yes, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibrations are typically required after a collision or any event that may have affected the ADAS components or their alignment. ADAS systems rely on a network of sensors, cameras, radar, lidar, and other technologies to function properly and provide critical safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and more.

When a vehicle is involved in a collision, the impact can shift or damage these sensors or their mounting positions, which can significantly affect the accuracy and reliability of the ADAS systems. Calibrations are necessary to ensure that these systems are accurately aligned and calibrated to function as intended.

Calibrations involve using specialized equipment and procedures to adjust and align the ADAS components to manufacturer specifications. This ensures that the sensors and systems are accurately detecting and interpreting data, which is crucial for the proper functioning of safety features and to maintain the vehicle's overall safety.

It's important to follow the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for post-collision inspections and calibrations to ensure the ADAS systems are functioning optimally and providing the intended safety benefits. Failure to properly calibrate ADAS systems after a collision could lead to inaccurate readings, false alerts, or malfunctions, potentially compromising the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
