Service Point Target Auto Calibration (SPTAC): Notes

Front view camera SPTAC provides the method for the service technician to calibrate the camera by aligning the calibration target (SST: 09890-3V100) with the vehicle on a level ground.

If the calibration is not completed within the specified tolerance front view camera "System Out of Calibration" DTC is indicated.

1. Method for Correct Alignment of Calibration Target
   1. In order to complete the calibration of the front view camera successfully, install the calibration target as follows:
      • Install the target (SST: 09890-3V100) vertical to the ground and from the camera referring to the below tolerance angle.

      CAUTION:

      • The tolerance ± 1° for the left and right gradient is very important and is sensitive to the flatness of the ground.
      • Install the compensator vertically using the Level Laser (SST: 09958-3T060 or 09964-C1200).
      • Arrange the Level Laser (A) on the center of the vehicle by installing it on the roof center above the vehicle's front windshield (same for both short and long distance calibrations).

   2. Have the laser illuminate starting from the roof center and to all the way to the center of the target, passing through the emblem center.

   * The level laser must be set to 'ON' and the holding (locking) function is not used.

   NOTE:

   • Target to be mounted to rigid backer material to maintain flatness requirements.
   • Target has reflective (not faded or poorly painted) markings that are unlike from lane features.
   • Target is 30 cm wide and 100 cm tall.
   • Mounting area must NOT have cross hatch patterns or textual markings near the target.
   • Target should be well lit for optimal performance using non-fluctuating illumination. There shall be no continuous shadows cast on the target.
   • The light should be directed toward the target front and the target front should be brighter than the target rear and target.

2. Service Point Target Auto Calibration (SPTAC) Procedure
   1. It is recommended to check vehicle toe-in and tire pressure levels to ensure proper alignment of the camera to the "world" before proceeding with calibration.

      The vehicle to run the calibration routine is to be at nominal production loading capacity.

   2. Windshield must be clean and silk-screen checked so that there is no blockage of the camera.
   3. Service technician connects the diagnostic connector and starts the vehicle. The MFC should not be activated by pressing the switch.
   4. The service calibration routine may not run correctly if any system level fault is active.
   5. If working with a replacement ECU: the service technician initiates the SPTAC Reset configuration.
   6. Service technician either aligns the vehicle to the target or the target to the vehicle.
      1. Locate the bottom of the target 90cm from the ground (max. tolerance: 1cm).
         NOTE: Locate so that the central axis of the target and the central axis of the vehicle match (max. tolerance: 3cm).

      2. Locate the short-distance target (A) so that it adheres by 0cm (B) to the bumper front (max. tolerance: 5cm).

      3. The location of the long-distance target (C) is 100cm (D) before the bumper (max. tolerance: 5cm).

      Information 

      • The tolerance angle of target in horizontal direction is ± 10°.
      • The tolerance angle of target in vertical direction is ± 5°.
      • The tolerance angle of target in facade center is ±1°.

   7. The technician should complete the short-distance calibration after checking the target location and "OK" message on the KDS.

   8. The technician should complete the long-distance calibration after checking the target location and "OK" message on the KDS (conduct the calibration twice: short and long distances).

   9. Perform the DTC deletion.
   10. Restart after engine OFF.
