Video Processing Control Module Calibration: Calibration
Diagnostic Aids MUST be followed prior to Calibration
This is the calibration process for the Surround Vision Camera system. When the Video Processing Control Module is replaced, calibration must be performed. If the following occurs, calibration is recommended but not required:
- If a camera is replaced
- If mirrors or fascias are replaced, removed, or physically adjusted
To calibrate the cameras, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:
- Clean camera lenses.
- Follow the on screen instructions with regards to EL-51372 camera mat placement
- Vehicle must be ignition ON or Vehicle ON
- Camera Calibration Mat location is very critical for the cameras to learn. If the image displayed is heavily distorted, the mat position was not correct. For correct mat location, refer to the box EL-51372 came in. Place the mat 50 cm from the vehicle when performing calibration or camera learn. For Fore/Aft alignment, place the mat so the distance from the closest edge of the center square, to the bumper, is 70 cm.
- Camera Calibration Mat must be as flat as possible. Wrinkles in the matt will cause a distorted view for the camera.
- When an exclamation (!) is seen on the radio display, camera learn was not completed or there was an error. To clear this, press Retry
- At any point where the Calibration is stuck and radio display does not show any camera images, clicking Cancel from the scan tool learn screen will resolve the issue and will return to previous learn position
- If at any point in the calibration procedure the alignment process is interrupted, clicking Retry from the scan tool learn screen will cancel the current learn process and can be procedure can be restarted
- DO NOT Click Finalize prior to step 7
- Using the scan tool, select the desired camera to calibrate, or all cameras if necessary.
- Click Initiate on the scan tool learn screen. This starts the calibration process.
- The radio display will show the desired EL-51372 camera calibration mat position.
- Place the EL-51372 camera mat in the position shown on the display. Use the box EL-51372 came as a ruler to align the mat with the vehicle correctly.
- Once the mat is correctly positioned, Click Capture
on the scan tool learn screen. This captures the image.
- If a red "X" is displayed, correct the EL-51372 camera mat position
- If a green checkmark is displayed, the image was accepted.
- Leave the EL-51372 camera mat in that position until the camera display prompts for it to be moved to the next position, or if calibration is complete.
- Once the last camera image has been capture, click Finalize on the scan tool learn screen. This completes the learn.
Mat must be flat on the floor
In an event of an error, click the Retry button to reset the image and try a new capture. DO NOT Click Finalize until step 7
