Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Calibration (with UGN)
Do NOT swap cameras between vehicles, it is not approved and a VIN mismatch will occur.
New modules must be SPS programmed prior to calibration , refer to Control Module References
The calibration process for the front view camera system is necessary when a front view camera module is replaced by a new one. This process is required anytime the module is removed from it's bracket and the frontview camera module has been mounted again properly. This process shall be completed within 3 - 5 minutes when the correct driving conditions are met. If conditions are not met, the front view camera module shall continuously run the service point calibration until successfully completed. This process shall work across ignition cycles and shall not be required to be re-initialized at start up. If the Lane Departure Warning Switch is pressed during calibration, the indictor will flash momentarily and then stay out - this is normal operation.
Calibration is not required if the existing module was reprogrammed. This procedure only needs to be conducted if the module was replaced.
Once SPS programming is complete, it is necessary to initiate the calibration using a scantool. During this time the "Service Driver Assist" service message will be displayed.
It is necessary to have the scantool connected during the entire process. Do not back out of the screen or press any other buttons.
To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:
- Clean windshield.
- Avoid aggressive and frequent lane changes. Occasional lane changes are preferred.
- Maintain vehicle speeds between 56 - 120 km/h (35 - 75 MPH).
- Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, etc.).
Once the procedure is complete, the service message will turn off and normal operation will resume. Shortly after the green ready to assist light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. The system is then ready to assist.
