7 Step ADAS Calibrations; Foundation For Accuracy
Don’t miss out on leveling up your alignment game.
What is ADAS Blueprinting?
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibrations can often seem daunting, especially when dealing with various vehicle manufacturers and their unique requirements. Our ADAS blueprinting process simplifies this complexity, providing a clear, methodical approach to ensure every calibration is accurate and effective.
The 7 Step ADAS Calibration Method
Our innovative 7 Step ADAS Calibration Method utilizes simple tools like lasers and targets to create a precise baseline box around the vehicle. This method ensures accurate and efficient calibrations, saving you time and increasing your profitability.
What Are the 7 Steps?
The 7 Step ADAS Method is a universal system designed to verify sensor alignment before calibration.
Step 1: Hang Plumb Bob at Rear Centerline
Step 2: Place Left-Side Wheel Targets (Front & Rear)
Step 3: Shoot Laser Parallel to Vehicle (Left Side)
Step 4: Mark Front Line at 3000mm from Bumper
Step 5: Verify 90° Angle Using Laser Square
Step 6: Connect Front Target to Rear Center with Laser
Step 7: Install Target + Prepare OEM Calibration Software

Practical Applications For 7 Step ADAS:
In our recent video, we demonstrated the 7 Step ADAS process on a 2023 Toyota RAV4. Here’s a summary of what we covered:
- Preparation: We checked the tire pressure, hooked up a battery maintainer, and loaded the necessary Toyota software.
- Initial Alignment: We aligned the vehicle for target placement and performed an initial alignment check.
- Calibration Execution: Using our method, we skipped redundant steps, saving time while ensuring precision.
- Results: Our final alignment checks confirmed the accuracy of our calibration.
Why the 7 Step ADAS Method?
- Efficiency: Complete calibrations faster without occupying alignment racks.
- Simplicity: Use lightweight tools that are easy to handle.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Maximize shop productivity by reducing downtime.
- Versatility: Applicable to various vehicle makes and models.
