-- Now using the laser beam -3- on the :VAS 6430 , check if the laser beam contacts sensor lens.

NOTE:

If the laser beam still meets the sensor lens at this step after adjusting the same individual toe values, the :VAS 6430 is aligned correctly (positioned).

If the laser beam does not meet the sensor lens, :VAS 6430 alignment must be performed again.

-- Connect the vehicle diagnostic tester.
