Factory Reset uses officially licensed Mopar software (Witech Diagnostic Application 2.0 w/ Micropod II), calibration equipment, and uses statements from Mopar Tech Authority to qualify calibrations
Automated electronic driver assistance systems must be tested for fault codes following a collision as well as before and after collision repairs with the Mopar WiTech vehicle diagnostic tester.

Common Mopar ADAS Systems
Forward Facing Camera
The Forward FacingCamera helps determine the cars position within lanes and activates lane departure warnings, or in some cases, lane keep assist, which will actively steer the car to maintain lane position. This system can be affected by weather or sunlight conditions.
When to Calibrate Forward Facing Camera
- Camera and/or windshield is removed or replaced
- Camera module removed from bracket
- There are lane departure warning system behavior concerns
Adaptive Cruise Control
The adaptive cruise control is located on the front end of the vehicle and is designed to work in tandem with the pre-collision system in front of to determine the distance between vehicles/objects and safely slow or stop the vehicle when approaching too close.
When to Calibrate Adaptive Cruise Control
- Sensor and/or bracket are removed and inspected or replaced
- Front end structural repairs are performed
Anti-Lock Braking System
Designed to detect and handle adverse road/stopping conditions, the Anti-Lock Braking System is an important part of stopping a vehicle safely. Sensors designated to each wheel take readings and apply brake pressure in quick Burts to prevent skidding or brake lock.
When to Initialize Anti-Lock Brake System
- Anti-Lock Brake System is replaced
- Hydraulic control unit is replaced
- Integrated control unit is replaced
- Occupant Restraint Control is replaced
- Steering control module is replaced
- Steering Angle Sensor is replaced
Occupant Restraint Controller
Occupant Restraint Controller is tasked with detecting an occupant and activating the supplemental restraint system (SRS) in case of a collision. Controlled via seat weight sensors and sensor in the seat belt buckle, it is important to examine this system when replacing seat components.
When to Calibrate Occupant Restraint Controller
- Any component of the Occupant Restraint Controller is replaced
With our access to WiTech 2.0 and Mopar Tech Authority, we are also able to provide other various calibrations/programming as well as raw data performance readings and latest repair procedures on all modern Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Fiat vehicles.
