Front View Camera Module Calibration




Front View Camera Module Calibration

Initializing Calibration (without UGN)

The calibration procedure will start automatically after SPS configuration and setup is done. During this time the Lane Departure Warning amber indicator will illuminate. Once the procedure is complete, the amber indicator will turn off. Shortly after the green ready to assist light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. Then the system is then ready to assist.

Initializing Calibration (with UGN)

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 GDSII. During this time the "Service Driver Assist" service message will be displayed. 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.

Calibration Procedure

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 shall not be required when only replacing the windshield and the front view camera module has been mounted again properly. This process shall be completed within 3-15 minutes when the correct driving conditions are met. If conditions are not met correct, 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.

To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:

* Clean windshield.

* Avoid lane changes.

* Maintain vehicle speeds between 56-90 km/h (35-56 MPH).

* Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, curbs, etc.).

Shortly after calibration is complete, the green ready to assist light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. Then the system is then ready to assist.

If Slow to Calibrate

One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-calibration procedure:

* Heavy traffic

* Stop and go traffic

* Mountain roads

* Curves in roadway

* Poor contrast lane markings

* Botts' Dots type lane markings

* Operating the vehicle speed is greater than 90 km/h (56 MPH)

* Driving through snow or fog, or driving directly into the sun

No Calibration

Conditions that will prevent completion of the self-calibration procedure:

* Dirty windshield glass or obstruction on windshield

* Operating the vehicle with speed less than 56 km/h (35 MPH)

* No visible lane markings

* Severe weather where lane markings cannot be seen

* Camera not properly installed. Verify it is snapped into tabs and is secure. Refer to Front View Camera Replacement Service and Repair.
