AV-SCANNER / Service function guides / Steering and suspension
This guide explains exactly which electronic systems must be recalibrated after a wheel alignment on modern vehicles, from steering angle sensors to camera and radar units. It is written for working mechanics and serious DIYers who already understand alignment angles and want to finish the job correctly instead of handing back a car with a warning light. You will learn how to identify every system affected by an alignment, prepare the vehicle and workshop, run the recalibration sequence in the right order, and verify the result with scan-tool data and a road test. By the end you will be able to complete a full alignment-and-recalibration service on most common platforms and troubleshoot the failures that crop up.
Guidance is general and covers many makes. Exact procedures and values vary by model, so confirm them in the factory service information for your vehicle.
