to take a closer look at the camera mount, which is glued in
place to the windshield to see if there were any noticeable
challenges, and this is when I decided we were going to recommend
a factory windshield. Figure 7 shows the mount
wasn't properly indexed to the exact coordinates designated
by the diamond shaped markers on the windshield.
If you look along the right side of the camera mounting
bracket, you'll see two vertical lines that were used to measure
the angles after establishing the reference line at 0.000
degrees at the horizontal line indicated by the arrow on the
left side of the bracket. Also, you can see where the camera
heater had to be transferred from the old windshield, which
still had part of the broken camera mount attached to the
harness at the top left.
We received approval to install a new OEM windshield
and when we received it, I took an image of it for comparison
(Figure 8).
After installation and camera calibration utilizing our
Autel Red-Frame system, we recorded the initial axis values
using Toyota Techstream, which produced expected results
(Figure 9). A thorough road test and performance analysis
was performed on the LDW/LKA and found their operations
well within the vehicle's ODD. Figure 10 shows a side-byside
comparison of the two camera brackets.
The current state of DAS will eventually lead us to automated
driving systems (ADS). The suite of sensors on any given
vehicle can be impacted by service operations. It's in your best
interest to gain a high level of situational awareness to ensure
the vehicles passing through your service bays are receiving
the proper care and attention the OEM intended to happen.
