Calibrating Reversing Camera

→ Prior to disconnecting the control unit, switch off ignition and remove ignition key.

→ Ensure that the power supply is not interrupted during programming.

→ Connect a battery charger with a current rating of at least → Nominal value: 40 A  to the vehicle battery.

Information 

The PIWIS Tester II 9818  instructions take precedence since the description may be different with later Tester releases.

The procedure described here has been structured in general terms. Different text or additional information may appear in PIWIS Tester II 9818  .

1. Wheel center support with right reflector
2. Wheel center support with left reflector
3. Right stop bracket for distance measuring unit
4. Left stop bracket for distance measuring unit
5. Linear laser
6. Distance measuring unit
7. Spirit level for adjusting calibration board in X and Y direction and cut-out for measuring calibration board height
8. Height-adjustable calibration board base
9. Calibration pattern
10. Reversing camera

1. X1  - Distance from calibration board to right reflector
2. X2  - Distance from calibration board to left reflector

Information 

The surface of the calibration board must be clean and free of objects.

1. Align the linear laser -5-  .
   1. 1.1. Position the distance measuring unit -6-  at the right stop bracket -3-  of the calibration board and measure the distance -X1-  to the right reflector -1-  . The distance must be approx. 1,400 mm.
   2. 1.2. Position the distance measuring unit -6-  at the left stop bracket -4-  of the calibration board and measure the distance -X2-  to the left reflector -2-  . The distance must be approx. 1,400 mm.
   3. 1.3. The difference between distance -X1-  and distance -X2-  can be max. 1 mm.
2. PIWIS Tester II 9818  must be connected to the vehicle before starting PIWIS Tester II 9818  . Switch on ignition.
3. Start the diagnostic application and select the required vehicle type.
4. Select the Reversing camera  control unit in the overview  .
5. Calibrate reversing camera  must now be selected.
6. Enter distance -X1-  and distance -X2-  .
   1. 6.1. If the difference between distance -X1-  and distance -X2-  is more than 1 mm, the values will be rejected.
7. PIWIS Tester II 9818  confirms that the calibration was completed successfully  .
8. Check the function and image quality of the reversing camera.
9. Read out the fault memory.
