ABCT2075 ADAS Systems and Calibration

This course provides advanced knowledge and hands-on experience with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) used in modern vehicles. Students learn how sensor systems operate, how collision damage affects ADAS functionality, and how to perform Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)-approved static and dynamic calibrations. Emphasis is placed on correct workspace setup, target placement, environmental conditions, pre- and post-scanning, and documentation. Students practice using ADAS calibration tools, alignment systems, and scan tools to complete manufacturer-specified calibration and verification procedures. Completion of foundational collision repair training is strongly recommended.
