Audi Q5 Type 8R (2008 - 2017) Service Manual / Chassis / Suspension, Wheels, Steering / Wheels, Tires, Wheel Alignment / Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Calibrating, Calibration Procedure with Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1-

Special tools and workshop equipment required

  • Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
  • Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1-
  • Wheel Alignment Computer
  • ACC Adjuster -VAS6190/2-

  Note

  • Before driving the vehicle onto the wheel alignment platform, check whether there is a sufficiently large space between the vehicle and the ACC Alignment Plate-VAS6430/1A-. The distance between the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A- and the vehicle must be 120 cm +- 5 cm.
  • If there is not enough space, drive vehicle the backward on the alignment stand in order to be able to use the space.
  • Before performing the calibration procedure, check the position of the calibration mirror. The calibration mirror may need to be adapted before performing the calibration.
  • The Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1- must be adapted before the adjustment procedure. If this is done during the adjustment procedure, the pre-calibration on the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1- must be repeated.
  • Before beginning the adjustment, check the DTC memory and correct any malfunctions present.

The adjustment procedure is described here using the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A-.

  Note

If there was a previous axle alignment, the steps under "Calibration procedure without a previous axle alignment" should not performed.

Calibration procedure without a previous axle alignment

- Connect the battery charger. Refer to → Electrical Equipment; Rep. Gr.27; Battery; Battery, Charging.

- Select the ACC calibration button on the alignment computer.

- Install quick clamps on the rear wheels.

- Install measuring sensors on the rear wheels.

- Perform a rim run-out compensation on the rear wheels.

  Note

The Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A- must not be moved on the calibration beam.

Calibration procedure with or without a previous axle alignment

- Release the bracket -1- and remove the air intake grille -2-.

- Remove all dirt on the sensor lens.

- If necessary, remove the mirror installed at the center and install it all the way at the right near the vertical slits.

Audi Q5. A44-10136

- Position Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1- at a distance -A- of 120 cm +- 5 cm from sensor lens to mirror surface.

Audi Q5. A44-10158

- Mount the front wheel measuring sensors -1- onto the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1-.

Audi Q5. A44-10136

- In area -A-, bring item -2- on rotary knob into alignment with marking on mirror (number 2 on rotary knob must face toward vehicle).

- Now align the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1- by sliding it sideways -arrows B- so that the laser beam is horizontally centered on the senor lens.

Audi Q5. A44-10158

- Balance the bubble levels -A- and -B- on the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A- using the adjusting screws -1-, -2- and -3-.

Audi Q5. A44-10138

- Adjust the mirror -4- using the crank -arrow- on the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A- so the laser beam is vertically centered on the sensor lens.

- Adjust the same front axle individual toe settings using fine adjustment screw -5-.

- The difference between individual toe values must be less than 6' or they must be the same.

Audi Q5. A44-10138

- Bring bubbles -2- on measurement sensor -1- into balance.

- Now using the laser beam -3- on the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A-, check if the laser beam contacts the sensor lens.

  Note

  • If the laser beam still meets the sensor lens at this step after adjusting the same individual toe values, the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A- is aligned correctly (positioned).
  • If the laser beam does not meet the sensor lens, the Setting Device Basic Set -VAS6430/1A- must be realigned.

- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester:

- Connect the connector of the Vehicle Diagnosis System - Updated Cable - 3m -VAS5051/5A- to the diagnostic connection.

- Switch on the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.
