Meeting Minutes

• Antitrust Accepted

• Meeting Minutes Reviewed and Accepted

• Prerequisites to Calibration and workflow Document:

  • Need to add Payload

    • It's amazing about the amount of stuff people leaves in a vehicle when it is being repaired

  • Fuel Level and all liquid levels for some OEMs

  • Best Practices, if you are calibrating a vehicle, you should make sure the alignment is correct, there could be preexisting damage that the owner was unaware of before the repair that the technician is working on.

  • Best Practices Sequence Document may be needed.

  • Best Practices Bare minimum: the OEM will have procedures in the repair procedures and the Calibration Tools and software have checklist, but how do you share these have been completed as requested.

  • Tire pressure and Size is important, if a vehicle has been lifted or added oversize tires there will need to be different specifications on the calibration.

  • In order to calibrate a car, you have to validate or verify that vehicles alignment is within factory specifications.

  • Battery maintenance has to be completed before we go into calibration.

  • If a car has anything out of factory specification, it should not be calibrated until that is corrected.

  • Do we need a document to attach to the estimates to show the steps before calibration?

    • Does the software provide a download to show what steps are necessary by the industry? No Technicians take pictures.

    • If the Software and OEM procedure is different, how do you decide what is best and or do both?

    • Does this document need to be a stand alone document or do we need to add the prerequistes to the flowchart? We need to know what we are trying to accomplish with the document.

      • Chuck will take a look at the prerequistes and flowchart for the next meeting and see how/if they can be merged.

  • ADAS Calibration Flowchart and Videos

    • The Flowcharts were created in the CIECA Calibration committee and are hosted under the CIECA Committee Workflow page and on cieca.com under Standards section. CIECA Industry Documentation

    • The Flowcharts are also hosted on CIC website

    • The video was to help everyone understand the flowcharts and is found on uTube. (142) ADAS Calibration Workflow Process - YouTube

    • Can we make the flowchart driven by user response? This would mean that a user can select No and only see that path and we can add links to the prerequisites with more information?

  • Virtual Tour of a calibration for the committee

    • There is a virtual calibration on ICAR that is around 15 minutes long.

    • The prerequisite may take hours before the calibration, and we will not see that in the video.

    • We may need to have a list of all the things that were done in the prerequisite to go over.

👥 Great Meeting. Make sure to check out the links in the meeting notes to find the supporting documents.
