The Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) launched a new Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Accreditation for vehicle technicians.
According to IMI, it will help to ensure technicians have the ability to identify and interpret information relating to a specific vehicle and its ADAS features, in order to determine which method of calibration is required and then calibrate correctly.
Technicians looking to undertake this stand-alone module should be working in the automotive industry and must have relevant diagnostic experience to certify they are familiar with the skills required to calibrate ADAS systems.
It appears, from this article, calibrating ADAS correctly may not be as easy as just buying the equipment. There are too many variables to consider with each automobile manufacturer’s system. Having the “ability” to analyze and interpret the data is a whole other thing.
