Lane Keep Calibration Service in Chelan, Washington

Stay Centered, Stay Safe: Precision Lane Keep Calibration

Your vehicle's Lane Keep Assist (LKA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems are fundamental to modern driving safety. As a cornerstone of your vehicle's ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems), these features rely on a highly sophisticated, forward-facing camera mounted on your windshield. This camera constantly monitors lane markings on the road, allowing the system to warn you if you drift (LDW) or even apply gentle steering torque to guide you back to the center (LKA).

This camera's alignment is critical. The #1 reason this system fails is windshield replacement. The camera is mounted to the windshield, and even a microscopic change in its position or angle after a new windshield is installed will render the entire system inaccurate and inoperative.

When is Lane Keep Calibration Mandatory?

Your forward-facing camera's calibration is required any time its position is altered. Failure to calibrate will result in a non-functioning system and persistent dashboard warning lights.

• Windshield Replacement: This is the most common reason. Calibration is not optional; it is a required part of the replacement process.
• Collision Repair: Any front-end accident can misalign the camera or its mounting bracket.
• Wheel Alignment or Suspension Work: Changing your vehicle's ride height or thrust angle changes the camera's viewing angle of the road, requiring recalibration.
• Camera or Bracket Replacement: If the camera itself is replaced, it must be calibrated.
• Dashboard Warning Lights: If you see "Lane Keep Assist Malfunction" or a similar error, the system has likely detected an alignment fault.

Our OEM-Specified Calibration Process

At Centerline ADAS Center, we perform this service with absolute precision, following strict manufacturer guidelines.

1. Static (In-Bay) Calibration

This is the most common method. Our shop is equipped with a perfectly level floor and specialized, OEM-specific image targets.

1. We place the targets at a precise, measured distance from the front of the vehicle.
2. Our technician connects our dealer-level scan tool to the vehicle.
3. We initiate the calibration routine, which prompts the camera to "look" at the targets, learn its new position, and re-establish its exact centerline and horizon.

2. Dynamic (On-Road) Calibration

Some vehicles require a dynamic calibration. This involves a technician driving the vehicle at a specific speed on well-marked roads, allowing the camera to recalibrate itself using real-world lane markings. We are equipped to perform this process safely and effectively.

3. Pre- & Post-Scan Verification

Every calibration service begins with a full diagnostic scan to identify all ADAS-related faults and concludes with a post-scan to verify the calibration was successful and all codes are cleared.
