⚠ Product Focus ⚠

Featured in the current issue of Tool Saver is this short series Oxygen sensor socket, designed for the removal and installation of Oxygen or Lambda sensors. It features a slot in the side, enabling it to be fitted over the wiring harness, and can be driven by both a 30mm spanner and 1/2"D socketry making it ideal for both difficult access situations or for when increased torque is required to undo tight or seized sensors. Available now from your local Laser Tools stockist. (Part No. 8063). More details and prices on our website; http://toolc.uk/8063

Q: After a four-wheel alignment check with adjustments, will the ADAS require a calibration?
If the vehicle is fitted with any type of forward facing, body mounted Radar (ACC, City Safety, Distronic etc) then the Vehicle Manufacturers Method Statement should be followed and if required, a calibration checked and recalibrated, with the issue of a relevant Calibration certificate, copies of which should be retained by the workshop for future reference.

Q: Is there a legal requirement that the ADAS needs to be functioning correctly?
The automatic braking system is only one of the many ADAS fitted on vehicles today. In this respect, the European Parliament has already approved the proposal to make driver assistance systems mandatory on all new type-approved vehicles as soon as possible. As a mandatory fitted safety system it is envisaged that the system will have to be checked for any warning indicators for test purposes, as are ABS and Airbag.

Q: If the ADAS isn’t working correctly, how could this affect the vehicles performance?
To do their job, ADAS systems rely on inputs from a variety of sensors that allow them to “see” what is happening around the vehicle. The most common are camera, radar, laser, lidar and ultrasonic sensors. Steering sensors are also used to help determine the direction of vehicle travel. Some systems use information from a single type of sensor, but others combine information from multiple sensors – a process called sensor fusion – to obtain a more accurate “view” of the situation.

Most ADAS sensors are very precisely aimed and require calibration if their positions are disturbed in any way. Consider that a sensor out of alignment by a fraction of an inch or even one degree on the vehicle will be aimed at an area significantly off axis 50 or more metres down the road. Misaimed sensors often result from collisions – even a minor accident can knock ADAS sensors out of alignment. However, calibration can also be required as a by-product of common vehicle service work such as windscreen replacement, suspension repair or wheel alignment.

If there are issues with any speed related signal, then the ADAS and other systems will be disabled. Many ADAS systems can be activated/deactivated by the driver, through the Infotainment Centre and optional switches.

We are getting there! A few days left till opening ADAS Ashfield's new centre - Give us a call on 01623 555512 to book in
Advanced driver-assistance systems, are electronic systems that help the vehicle driver while driving or during parking. When designed with a safe human-machine interface, they are intended to increase car safety and more generally road safety.

Q: How can I tell if my ADAS is working correctly?
Currently different manufacturers indicate the ADAS functionality check when the vehicle is first started, or the type of system is activated/deployed. For instance, if the camera in the windscreen is obscured, or not currently accepting information, then a message in the driver info centre will indicate the camera is blocked. Similarly with other systems on the vehicle, warning information will be displayed for ACC etc.

Q: Is ADAS part of the MOT test?
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has announced that the Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) will be mandatory for all new cars from 2020. The AEBS detects a potential front-end collision, alerts the driver through an audible and visual warning and activates the vehicle brakes if the driver does not react immediately, by applying a deceleration to prevent or reduce the severity of a crash with an obstacle, a pedestrian or another vehicle.

The automatic braking system is only one of the many ADAS fitted on vehicles today. In this respect, the European Parliament has already approved the proposal to make driver assistance systems mandatory on all new type-approved vehicles as soon as possible. As a mandatory fitted safety system it is envisaged that the functionality will have to be checked for any warning indicators for test purposes, as are Emissions, ABS and Airbag.

Q: Will the ADAS be part of the vehicles service schedule?
As per Vehicle Manufacturers service schedules and methods, motor vehicles presented for service should be pre-scanned for any issues indicated by DTC’s stored in the various ECU memories and reported to the customer. If the workshop has access to OEM software updates then these should be installed as per the VM requirements.
