Buick Regal: Front View Camera Module Learn

Calibration (without UGN)

NOTE: Do NOT swap cameras between vehicles, it is not approved and a VIN mismatch will occur.

The calibration process for the front view camera system is necessary when a front view camera module is replaced by a new one. This process is required anytime the module is removed from it's bracket and the frontview camera module has been mounted again properly. This process shall be completed within 3 - 5 minutes when the correct driving conditions are met. If conditions are not met, the front view camera module shall continuously run the service point calibration until successfully completed.

This process shall work across ignition cycles and shall not be required to be re-initialized at start up. If the Lane Departure Warning Switch is pressed during calibration, the indictor will flash momentarily and then stay out - this is normal operation.

The calibration procedure may start automatically after SPS programming is complete. During this time the Lane Departure Warning amber indicator will illuminate.

To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:

• Clean windshield.
• Avoid lane changes.
• Maintain vehicle speeds between 56 - 90 km/h (35 - 56 MPH).
• Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, curbs, etc.).

Once the procedure is complete, the amber indicator will turn off. Shortly after the green ready to assist light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. The system is then ready to assist.

Calibration (with UGN)

NOTE: Do NOT swap cameras between vehicles, it is not approved and a VIN mismatch will occur.

New modules must be SPS programmed prior to calibration , refer to Control Module References

NOTE: Calibration is not required if the existing module was reprogrammed. This procedure only needs to be conducted if the module was replaced.

Once SPS programming is complete, it is necessary to initiate the calibration using a scantool. During this time the "Service Driver Assist" service message will be displayed.

NOTE: It is necessary to have the scantool connected during the entire process.

Do not back out of the screen or press any other buttons.

To calibrate the front camera, operate the vehicle in the following conditions until the calibration is complete:

• Clean windshield.
• Avoid aggressive and frequent lane changes. Occasional lane changes are preferred.
• Maintain vehicle speeds between 56 - 120 km/h (35 - 75 MPH).
• Ensure the road contains visible references (well defined lane markings, etc.).

Once the procedure is complete, the service message will turn off and normal operation will resume.

Shortly after the green ready to assist light should turn on as long as all conditions are met for normal operation. The system is then ready to assist.

If Slow to Calibrate

The ideal calibration condition is driving on a 2 lane divided highway with markings on both sides of the lane. One or more of the following conditions may increase the length of time required to complete the self-calibration procedure:

• Heavy traffic
• Stop and go traffic
• Mountain roads
• Curves in roadway
• Poor contrast lane markings
• Botts' Dots type lane markings
• Operating the vehicle at speeds greater than recommended
• Driving through snow or fog, or driving directly into the sun
• Camera not properly installed. Verify it is snapped into tabs and is secure. Refer to Front View Camera Replacement.

Calibration Procedure (Required for North American SPS users)

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Place the transmission in Park (if applicable)

3. Install scan tool

4. Navigate to the module diagnostics menu

5. Select Frontview Camera Module

6. Select Configuration/Reset Functions menu Item

7. Select the Frontview Camera Learn procedure and follow the directions displayed on the screen.

8. Drive the vehicle to complete calibration.

No Calibration

Conditions that will prevent completion of the self-calibration procedure:

• Dirty windshield glass or obstruction on windshield
• Operating the vehicle with speed less than 56 km/h (35 MPH)
• No visible lane markings
• Severe weather where lane markings cannot be seen
• Camera not properly installed. Verify it is snapped into tabs and is secure. Refer to Front View Camera Replacement.
