This may be a long shot but, does anyone have the Ford procedure for aligning the Collision Avoidance/Lane Keeping camera in the windshield of a 21 F150 Lariat Powerboost?
Not to be overly dramatic but my dealer does not have many success stories with FDRS updates or alignments. So hoping the process is easy enough I can do it myself with FDRS.
I appreciate any help/guidance.

 

I just have to ask:

1) what is wrong with it now
2) why can you align the camera better than the techs?

I guess #3 -what did you do to your truck to make the camera misaligned our uncalibrated?

got a new windshield installed and technically I am supposed get the camera aligned.

2) why can you align the camera better than the techs?
NOT that I can do it better but, my dealers are taking appointments for August. So no collision or lane keeping for the five weeks.


I guess #3 -what did you do to your truck to make the camera misaligned our uncalibrated?
took a rock in the very corner of my windshield which spidered out in a matter of two days.

 

there is no procedure from what i can find in WSM, all it says is carry out alignment using the appropriate scan tool

 

Please excuse the stupid question. Is the scan tool FDRS or IDS?

thank you for the quick responses.

 

It is an automated process initiated manually through FRDS. Connect to the vehicle, go to the IPMA tab, download and run the IPMA calibration, then go for a 10 mile drive above 80km/h (50mph) on a straight road and it will self calibrate. The success rate will depend on the roads where you drive.

If your municipality has a lousy paint job on the roads it will fail. This is why some dealerships may struggle with it more than others. For example, up here when it snows, dealerships can’t perform the calibration process.

 

Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you!
