NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with Trailer Reverse Guidance (TRG) (F-Super Duty only) this procedure also performs the Trailer Reverse Guidance camera alignment.
NOTE:
Prior to beginning this procedure, perform the following:
- Inspect the exterior rear view mirrors to make sure they are not folded (if equipped).
- Using a scan tool retrieve and if necessary repair any IPMB Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Clean the camera lenses. Inspect all cameras (except center high-mounted stoplamp camera and trailer camera, if equipped), the associated mounting hardware and body components for damage.NOTE: Damage to or misalignment of any of these components can cause the camera alignment to be unsuccessful.
- Park the vehicle in a flat, open area (preferably indoors) with the front wheels straight ahead, steering wheel centered, and with a minimum of 6 feet of open space to each side, 7 feet of open space in front, and 11 feet of open space behind the vehicle. The area where the vehicle is parked must
be flat (total height variation of less than 1"), have uniform lighting of good quality, and be free of debris or obstacles.NOTE: The area where the alignment is performed must be free of shadows and glare. Areas of shadow or bright light will degrade the ability of the cameras to see the target pattern on the calibration mats. Facing the front of the vehicle towards the light source may reduce glare on the calibration mats.
- Obtain the mat spacing specification and note this as measurement "A". For additional information, refer to: Specifications .
- With the help of an assistant, measure the distance between the outer edge of the RH rear tire tread block and the outer edge of the LH rear tire tread block. Note this measurement of tire width as "B".NOTE: Make sure the measurement is taken at the same location on both tires.
- Calculate the mat spacing distance from the tire: (A-B)/2=C
- Subtract the tire width (measurement "B") from the mat spacing specification (measurement "A").
- Divide the result by 2. Note this measurement as "C". This is the mat spacing distance from the outer edge of the tire block.
- Create mat spacing guidelines at all 4 tires:NOTE: F-series shown in illustration, other vehicles similar.
- Measure distance "C" from the outer edge of the tire tread block.
- Using chalk, at distance "C" for each tire, draw a line on the ground parallel to the side of the vehicle that is several inches long and roughly aligned with the center of the axle.
- Create front axle alignment guidelines:NOTE: F-series shown in illustration, other vehicles similar.
- Locate the centerline of the front axle.
- Using chalk, draw a line on the ground extending outwards from the center of the front axle, perpendicular to the wheel.
- Position the calibration mats on both sides of the vehicle:NOTE: F-series shown in illustration, other vehicles similar.
- Align the front axle alignment mark on each mat with the front axle alignment guideline created in step 7.
- Align the inside edge of each mat with the respective front and rear mat spacing guidelines created in step 6.
- Verify the spacing between the target pattern blocks matches measurement "X" from the specifications in this article. For additional information, refer to: Specifications .
- Verify all vehicle doors and tailgate/luggage compartment lid are fully closed.
- Connect a battery charger. A battery voltage of greater than 11 volts must be maintained throughout the calibration procedure. A battery charger can be used to maintain the battery voltage. Make sure any extension cords that are used do not obstruct the calibration mats.
- Turn the ignition ON. Do not start the engine.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the 360 degree camera alignment procedure following the on-screen instructions under Electrical>Service Functions>360 Camera Calibration. The camera alignment success is indicated by the diagnostic scan tool. If the camera alignment is successful, INSPECT the 360 degree overhead image for proper alignment. If the camera alignment is unsuccessful, the diagnostic scan tool indicates one of the following faults:
