When removing or replacing the rearview mirror, front windshield, camera, IPM-A module or guided by TSB (Technical Service Briefing) maintenance manual, Lane Departure Warning System Camera Calibration function is needed to perform. This article will take Ford F-150 as an example to introduce how to use this function.
Note:If IPM-A is replaced, PMI (Programmable Module Installation) is needed to perform.
Requirements: Communication is normal, and battery voltage is between 12V and 15V. This function requires driving the vehicle at a speed of more than 64 kilometers per hour on a marked lane for about 10 minutes to align the camera. Try to avoid driving across lanes, steering too much, and sudden changes in speed.
Note: This procedure requires driving the vehicle for about 10 minutes to align the camera. Function execution is unsuccessful, you can try multiple times.
To perform this function, please choose a sunny day and a well-lit road, avoid direct sunlight to the camera and ensure that the camera lens is unobstructed.
