Hunter Engineering: Any time the vehicle manufacturer determines and documents  when ADAS Calibrations are necessary. ADAS Calibration is almost always required after a collision, ADAS sensor replacement, or removal/re-installation of a sensor or mounting component such as a windshield, core support, side view mirror, etc.

Some OEMs also require ADAS calibration for some systems after services like wheel alignment, including VW, Audi, Porsche, Ford, Lincoln, BMW, Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge and others. 

You should always check OEM procedure guidelines to verify whether a calibration is needed.

Documentation is important for several reasons as it’s the proof of work done and the need to complete said work. 

Service Documentation from the OEM determines when calibrations are required and how to complete them properly. Repair documentation not only records the vehicle condition before a calibration, many times with pictures and pre-scan results, but also records the successful calibration result from the scan tool and verifies codes do not remain after the calibration with post-scan results.

This is not only proof the service was completed correctly but is what most insurance companies want to authorize payment for 
such a service.

Hunter’s equipment follows the OEM service procedures, references the vehicle 
direction of travel—the thrust line—for target placement, integrates with the Hunter Aligner for Wheel Alignment verification before the calibration is completed, and integrates with HunterNet for online results storage.
