ADAS & Sensor Alignment
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) play a major role in modern vehicle safety. At JT Auto Glass Repair Ottawa, we provide precise ADAS camera and sensor calibration to ensure systems like lane assist, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring work exactly as they should after a windshield replacement or repair.
Even a small shift in the windshield can throw your ADAS system out of alignment. This affects your vehicle’s ability to:
Detect lanes correctly
Measure distance accurately
Activate emergency braking on time
Keep you centered in your lane
Warn you of vehicles in your blind spot
When these systems fall out of calibration, you may experience faulty alerts, delayed warnings, or critical safety features failing altogether.
Why ADAS Calibration Is Required After Windshield Work
When a windshield is removed, replaced, or even slightly adjusted, the forward-facing camera and sensors mounted behind it can lose their factory position. Because these systems rely on millimeter-level accuracy, even a tiny change can create major safety issues.
That’s why calibration is mandatory after:
Windshield replacement
Stone chip repair near the camera area
Body or frame repairs
Suspension or alignment changes
Airbag deployment
Any impact affecting the windshield
How We Perform ADAS Calibration at JT Auto Glass
At JT Auto Glass, we use advanced OEM-approved calibration equipment to realign your ADAS sensors to manufacturer specifications. Depending on your vehicle, we perform:
✔ Static Calibration
Performed in-shop using special targets and precise measurements.
✔ Dynamic Calibration
Completed during a controlled road test so the system can learn real-world driving conditions.
✔ Dual Calibration
Some vehicles require both methods to achieve full accuracy.
Our certified technicians follow strict OEM procedures to ensure your cameras and sensors are positioned exactly where the manufacturer designed them to be.
Where ADAS Sensors Are Located
The image below shows the most common ADAS components—such as blind-spot sensors, lane departure cameras, radar units, and parking sensors—and where they are typically located around the vehicle. Accurate alignment of these systems ensures your safety features respond correctly when you need them most.
