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 any DTC is indicated, do the indicated DTC's troubleshooting first. If the DTC is not repaired, you cannot complete the multipurpose camera aiming procedure:
- Dynamic Camera Aiming Incomplete: DTC B2A60-52
- Static Camera Aiming Incomplete: DTC B2A60-54

Cautions for the operation environment:

Multipurpose camera aiming should be done on a flat place.
To aim the multipurpose camera, you need the following amount of open space in front of the vehicle: 7 m (23 ft) measured from the front bumper, 4 m (13 ft) wide, and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) height.
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 the multipurpose camera requires the HDS.
- Do not put any objects on the instrument panel.
- Remove the all cargo from the vehicle except the tool kit.
- 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, and apply the parking brake.
When marking on the floor, use suitable tape to mark the exact locations.

Before Aiming - Set

Multipurpose Camera - Static Camera Aim

Marking of the Center Target Position

Pull the string (A) forward 6, 000 mm (236.22 in) from point B1, then mark a new point D1. Repeat this step for the opposite front wheel, and mark a point D2 on the floor.

Stretch a string (A) between point D1 and point D2, and tape both ends of the string on the floor. Mark a new point Z1 where the string crosses with the center line (B).

Special Tools Set-Up, Target Pattern Surface Height Adjustment, and Positioning:

Set-up the target.

Install the stand pole (A) onto the stand (B).
NOTE: The stand pole 1, 000 mm (39.37 in) is too low to align the multipurpose camera, and cannot be used for this procedure. You must use stand pole 07AAK-5K0A120.

Route the cord through the collar and place it on the aiming stand.

Install the attachment bracket (C) onto the stand pole.

Assemble the target holders (D).

Courtesy of AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC.

Install the target holder assemblies onto the attachment bracket (one on each side), with the target mounting holes (A) facing toward the vehicle.

NOTE: Make sure the horizontal poles are fully seated against the attachment bracket.

Install the targets onto the horizontal poles.

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.
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:

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

Courtesy of AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC.

Calculate the average value between the left and right wheel arch height "H1". This average is referenced as "H2".
Example
- Left wheel arch hight: 794 mm (31.26 in)
- Right wheel arch hight: 814 mm (32.04 in)
- H2 = (794 + 814) / 2 = 804 mm (31.65 in)

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 SPECIFICATION

Wheel arch height standard value "H3"

814 mm (32.04 in)

Example

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

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 SPECIFICATION

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 (3).

NOTE: The HDS uses this number when choosing the multipurpose camera unit height setting value in the HDS.

NOTE: 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.

Apply the parking brake.
If the aiming has failed or is aborted, you must start the static camera aiming procedure again.
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A).
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and turn the headlights off.

Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the multipurpose camera unit. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting .

Implementation of the Static Camera Aiming:

In the DRIVING SUPPORT MENU, then INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM, then ADJUSTMENT, then select Static Camera Aiming on the HDS. After the CAUTION SCREEN, the LKAS indicator blinks and "CAM" is displayed at the MID.

NOTE: The static camera aiming status can be confirmed indicator on the MID.

Multipurpose Camera - Dynamic Camera Aim

Precaution for the Dynamic Camera Aiming:

Carry out the dynamic camera aiming on a flat and straight road that has several lanes that will allow the vehicle to be driven at speeds between 45-70 mph (72-112 km/h) for 10 minutes or more.
You must complete the dynamic aiming within 30 minutes or the aiming will fail.
Poor weather such as rain, fog, or snow may prevent the camera from aiming.
Wet roads can also affect the aiming procedure if the yellow or white lines are not visible because of reflections caused by the water.
When you do the dynamic camera aiming in the dark, turn the headlights on and ensure that the windshield and headlights are clean.
If the dynamic camera aiming fails for some reason, an aiming failure code is displayed on the HDS. In this case, carry out the troubleshooting for the code indicated using the HDS.
When doing the aiming procedure, make sure you drive in the center of the lane and avoid using the windshield wipers or the turn signal.

Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
Check the multipurpose camera unit DTCs with the HDS . Make sure that only DTC B2A60-52 indicated.
NOTE: The multipurpose camera aiming procedure can be done when this DTC is shown but if any other DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC before continuing.
In the DRIVING SUPPORT MENU, then INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM, then ADJUSTMENT, then select Dynamic Camera Aiming on the HDS. "CAM" of the MID begins a blink when issuing instructions.

Carry out the aiming according to the instructions indicated on the HDS screen. If the dynamic camera aiming fails for any reason, the HDS will display an aiming failure code. In this case, carry out the troubleshooting for the codes, then retry the aiming procedure.

NOTE: The dynamic camera aiming status can be confirmed by the indicators on the MID.
