ADAS Calibrations: Ford Programmable Module Procedure

ADAS Calibrations: Ford Programmable Module Procedure

Sometimes a calibration isn’t complete until the vehicle knows about it. This video is sponsored by Hunter Engineering.

Sometimes a calibration isn’t a calibration until the vehicle knows about it. As Babcox Media’s Joe Keene demonstrates, merely reprogramming or replacing a particular ADAS component isn’t always enough.

In this example, a windshield repair on a Ford F-150, the vehicle needs to be “told” that the front-facing camera is coming off, its data is being saved and reloaded, and then going back on. Techs may not be aware of these extra steps.

Skipping them could mean additional diagnostic procedures will be needed, costing unexpected time and money. These procedures are necessary for all Ford vehicles.

The step-by-step onscreen guidance of ADASLink ensures such extra procedures are performed, eliminating guesswork and providing a precise and thoroughly documented calibration for more than 25 million vehicles.

For some emissions-related repairs like oxygen sensors and catalytic converters, a lot of time can be spent confirming the repair by trying to complete the vehicle emissions monitors. To complete or force a monitor requires driving the vehicle under specific conditions. The emissions drive cycle might include getting the vehicle to closed loop operation and performing four or five periods of accelerating from 30 to 45 miles an hour. Other manufacturers might require driving at freeway speeds.
