Multipurpose Camera Aiming: Adjustment

NOTE:

The multipurpose camera unit must be re-aimed if the multipurpose camera unit or windshield is removed or replaced. The LKAS and ACC indicators (amber) will blink if the aiming process is not completed correctly.
If DTCs are indicated, do the indicated DTC troubleshooting first. If the DTCs are not repaired, you cannot complete the multipurpose camera aiming procedure. However, if you have the following DTCs, proceed with the aiming procedure.
- Dynamic Camera Aiming Incomplete: DTC B2A60-52
- Static Camera Aiming Incomplete: DTC B2A60-54

If the vehicle you are aiming was involved in a collision or if you suspect the alignment is out of specifications, you must perform a wheel alignment prior to aiming the multipurpose camera unit.

Conditions for the aiming environment:
- Aiming should be done on a flat place.
- Amount of space require in front of the vehicle:
  * 7 m (23 ft) measured from the front bumper
  
  * 4 m (13 ft) in width
  
  * 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in height, measured from the floor
- Make sure the vehicle is not facing any direct light source as this will affect the static camera aiming.
- Make sure there are no black and white checkered or dark and light alternating patterns directly behind the targets as this will affect the static camera aiming.

Set up the vehicle:
- Aiming requires the HDS.
- Do not put any objects on the dashboard.
- Remove all cargo from the vehicle except the tool kit and the spare tire.
- Make sure that there are no stains, dust or dirt on the lens of the multipurpose camera unit, and the windshield area where the camera is mounted.
- Make sure that all doors are closed.
- Make sure the suspension has not been modified.
- Make sure all the tire sizes are correct and that their pressure is correct.
- Make sure the fuel tank is full.
- Make sure the steering wheel is pointed straight ahead, and do not turn it after setting the vehicle.
- Shift the shift lever to P position/mode, and apply the parking brake.

When marking on the floor surface, use suitable tape to mark the exact locations.

Prepare these items:
- HDS
- Tape measure and ruler
- Felt-tip pen
- Tape
- String

6. Check the height (950 mm (37.40 in)) of all three targets at the center mark (A). The center target should be the same height as the outer targets. If necessary, adjust the center target by moving the target adjuster up or down on the stand pole to match the heights of the outer targets.

7. Place the aiming target assembly on the mark (Z1).

NOTE:

Make sure the target vertical poles (C) on the line (D).

Choose the Setting Value of the Multipurpose Camera Height:

8. Measure the right and left front wheel arch height "H1" from the ground to the center of the wheel arch.

Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

9. Calculate the average value between the left and right wheel arch height "H1". This average is referenced as "H2".

Example

Left wheel arch height: 794 mm (31.26 in)

Right wheel arch height: 814 mm (32.04 in)

H2 = (794 + 814) / 2 = 804 mm (31.65 in)

10. Subtract the front wheel arch height standard value "H3" from the average value of "H2". This calculation is referenced as "H".

Wheel arch height standard value "H3"

814 mm (32.04 in)

Example H = 804 - 814 = -10 mm (0.39 in)

11. Refer to the following table to determine the difference "H" between the mean height of the front wheel arch "H2" and the standard height "H3".

Setting value number	Choose the value "H" from following ranges
(1)	+5 mm (0.20 in) <= H <= +15 mm (0.59 in).
(2)	-5 mm (0.20 in) <= H < +5 mm (0.20 in).
(3)	-15 mm (0.59 in) <= H < -5 mm (0.20 in).
(4)	-25 mm (0.98 in) <= H < -15 mm (0.59 in).
(5)	-35 mm (1.38 in) <= H < -25 mm (0.98 in).

Example

H =-10 mm (0.39 in)

The setting value number which corresponds to the numerical value is (3).

NOTE:

Use this setting value number when choosing the front wheel arch height in the HDS.

If the measured value exceeds +15.0 mm (0.591 in) or less than - 35 mm (1.378 in), the multipurpose camera aiming will not work. Check for frame/suspension damage or modification.
