Question

Why does ADAS camera calibration fail after windshield replacement?

Answer

Incorrect windshield thickness or camera mount misalignment disrupts calibration targets.

Explain

ADAS cameras (e.g., Tesla Autopilot) require precise alignment to calibration targets. CHEPQ ADAS tools first verify windshield thickness (must match OEM specs: ±0.5mm) and then check camera tilt (optimal: 0.5°-1.0° from horizontal)—common issues after non-OEM windshield installs.
