See Clearly, Reverse Safely: Expert Rear Camera Calibration

Your vehicle's rear-view camera, or backup camera, is one of the most-used safety features today. It's more than just a video feed; it's an active safety system, often integrated with dynamic guidelines that bend as you turn your wheel and proximity alerts that warn you of obstacles. As a key ADAS & Calibration service, ensuring this camera is perfectly aligned is critical for your safety and peace of mind.

Even a minor rear-end collision, bumper replacement, or tailgate repair can knock the camera's precise alignment out of specification, rendering your guidelines inaccurate and dangerous. At Centerline ADAS Center in Spokane, we specialize in restoring that precision.

When is Rear Camera Calibration Required?

Your camera's alignment must be reset to factory standards if your vehicle has had any of the following:

• Rear Bumper Repair or Replacement: The camera is often mounted near the bumper or license plate.
• Tailgate or Trunk Lid Repair: A common mounting spot for cameras on trucks and SUVs.
• The Camera Itself Was Replaced: A new camera unit must be programmed and calibrated to the vehicle.
• Suspension Work or Wheel Alignment: Changing the vehicle's ride height or angle can affect the camera's viewing perspective.
• You See an ADAS Warning Light: The system may detect a misalignment and display a fault.

A misaligned camera will show crooked or inaccurate guidelines, making you less safe by providing a false sense of security.

Our Meticulous Calibration Process

We use manufacturer-approved procedures and equipment to ensure a perfect calibration every time.

1. Diagnostic Pre-Scan

First, we connect to your vehicle's computer to identify any fault codes related to the camera or ADAS.

2. Precise Target Placement

We place a large, specific calibration target or mat at a precise, manufacturer-specified distance and position behind your vehicle.

3. OEM-Level Software Calibration

Using our advanced diagnostic tools, we initiate the vehicle's calibration routine. The camera "looks" at the target, and the system software recalculates its exact position, angle, and height, re-drawing the dynamic guidelines with perfect accuracy.

4. Post-Calibration Validation

We perform a final scan to confirm all fault codes are cleared and verify on-screen that the guidelines and video feed are accurate, clear, and perfectly centered.
