Post Repair / Calibration Test Drive Best Practices - Video
Sep 15, 2020- Inform customer up front that during repairs the battery may be disconnected, recalibrations and an extensive test drive may be required.
- Also inform customer that ADAS systems may be reset to OEM settings
- Finally inform customer that all documentation supporting repairs, calibration and test drives will be provided upon the completion of the repair/calibration
- Perform proper pre-repair research and “blueprint” including identifying all ADAS systems, sensors, cameras, Radar, and LiDAR
- Complete proper repairs / calibration
- Complete a proper post-repair/calibration scan to clear codes
- Research and locate test drive procedures from OEM repair procedures, owners-manual, OEM websites or OEM YouTube channels
- In lieu of this research you can utilize the Test Drive CoPilot™ platform (testdrivecopilot.com)
- Record video, audio and/or report of entire test drive.
- The video record can be actual video of the “drive” through the front windshield or a video record of the vehicle’s ADAS system operation during the test drive.
- The audio record should include the “test driver” verbally describing the actions they take and how the vehicle responds
- The test drive report should include the following:
- Vehicle information
- Person(s) who performed the test drive,
- Beginning, end and total time of test drive,
- Low, high and average speeds during the test drive,
- Beginning, end and total mileage driven during test drive,
- A map of where the vehicle was driven
- What systems were tested during the test drive and did they operate as designed by the manufacturer
