Navigating ADAS Components with Direct Hit

This guide provides a step-by-step process for exploring ADAS components using the Direct Hit tool. By following these instructions, you will learn how to identify, locate, and understand various components, their calibration needs, and how different manufacturers may label similar features.

Step 1

Begin by selecting a 2020 Honda Civic in the Direct Hit tool to examine its ADAS components.

Step 2

Once the data has loaded, a detailed table will appear displaying all the components. This includes the parts, their associated systems, and calibration types. You can conveniently filter the components by their location.

Step 3

To focus on specific areas, such as components near the front bumper, use the location filter. Alternatively, filter by system for more precise navigation.

Step 4

This section refers to Honda's nomenclature for ADAS components, such as the intelligent cruise control.

Step 5

In this example, the multipurpose camera unit and the millimeter wave radar are part of the intelligent cruise control system, each situated in distinct locations.

Step 6

Calibration types are indicated as either static or dynamic. Static calibration requires a parked vehicle with a calibration target and special tools, while dynamic calibration is done while driving. Not all vehicles or OEMs support dynamic calibration, and some components may not require calibration at all.

Step 7

The table clearly specifies which procedures, such as 'remove and replace' or 'remove and install', necessitate calibration. Click on the multipurpose camera unit to access detailed repair information aggregated in the OE repair hub.

Step 8

Here, you will find detailed instructions for the removal and installation of the multipurpose camera unit.

Step 9

These steps simplify accessing the calibration procedures for the multipurpose camera. Understanding the nomenclature used by OEs is crucial.

Step 10

For example, this component was referred to as intelligent cruise control.

Step 11

The significance of this terminology will now be demonstrated.

Step 12

Return to the main page and select a 2023 Toyota RAV4.

Step 13

For Toyota, the ADAS system is labeled differently.

Step 14

Toyota refers to its system as adaptive cruise control, highlighting the difference in terminology between manufacturers.

Step 15

In Toyota's system, there is a front camera and a millimeter wave radar sensor. This system operates more dynamically with the drive cycle.

Step 16

The Toyota RAV4 also has distinct procedures for installing and removing the front camera and even the windshield glass.

Step 17

This information is critical when repairing a Toyota RAV4 and is easily accessible for review and printing.

Step 18

The Direct Hit tool with ADAS module offers comprehensive ADAS information, making it accessible at your fingertips. Thank you for exploring this guide.
