• Assess whether the vehicle has active ADAS sensors fitted, which systems they are enabling, and clearly identify the locations of the sensors
• Assess the capability of the repairing organisation to manage the process
What should I do before I start a repair?
• Before starting any repair, servicing or maintenance procedure that might affect ADAS sensors, assess your capability to manage the process
• Assess whether the vehicle has active ADAS sensors fitted, which systems they are enabling, and clearly identify the locations of the sensors; make use of:
• Direct questioning of the Asset Owner / Work Provider.
• Researching the vehicle model fitment information.
• Use of 3rd party VIN or registration look up tools for fitment data.
• Inspecting the vehicle – for more guidance see under Repair Planning.
• Use Diagnostic Tools to check vehicle data to verify what ADAS sensors are fitted.
• If no ADAS sensors are fitted to the vehicle, the vehicle can proceed through the normal repair, servicing or maintenance procedures; record for audit purposes that no ADAS sensors are fitted and no inspection, realignment and calibration is required.
• Where ADAS sensors have been identified, confirm what sensors are likely to be affected relevant to the repair, servicing or maintenance tasks being carried out and record for audit purposes.
• For each ADAS sensor identified as likely to be affected, confirm and document your capability to carry out the inspection, realignment and calibration of the sensor. Record details of;
• The currently competent person and their proof of current competency.
• The relevant equipment that will produce auditable and verifiable evidence of a successful calibration.
• Any 3rd party to which you intend to outsource the inspection, realignment and calibration of the sensor, including evidence that they meet the criteria of the IIR.
