2006 Cadillac Escalade EXTFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Calibration Criteria

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Headlamp module calibration must be performed after a ride height sensor or headlamp module has been serviced. The calibration procedure will set the "centered" value for the front and rear ride height sensors. This value is used by the headlamp module to determine the proper amount of headlamp adjustment required for vehicle conditions. The following criteria must be met before preforming the calibration procedure:

  • The vehicle must be placed on a flat level surface.
  • There must be no occupants in the vehicle.
  • Any additional cargo weight in the rear compartment must be removed.
  • All doors must be closed.
