C LATERAL ALIGNMENT USING THE BENDIX
NOTE: Complete these steps only if a lateral adjustment is necessary.
C1.7
With the Bendix alignment tool still in place, use the Torx T-20 screwdriver to turn by hand the driver-side
stand-off adjustment screw until the desired alignment is reached
C1.8
Re-measure the distances from symmetrical points located at least 12" from the center line of the vehicle.
Reverse the tool for each measurement, until the values are the same [within 1/8" (3 mm)].
C1.9
After the lateral alignment procedure is complete, if there is an active misalignment DTC (codes 55, 56,
or 57), clear the Bendix
in Section 4.4: Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and reset the alignment value by connecting the
vehicle to a PC with Bendix
value. (Also, see Appendix H.)
C1.10 IMPORTANT: Before returning the vehicle to service, check the vertical alignment.
C1.11 [The steel clip and alignment tool should already be in place. See C1.1-2.]
C1.12 Calibrate (or "zero") the inclinometer on a horizontal section of the frame rail. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions (typically digital inclinometers have a "SET" button for this purpose).
NOTE: Complete these steps only if a vertical adjustment is necessary.
C1.13 With the Bendix alignment tool still in place, use the screwdriver to turn
by hand the top-left adjustment stand-off. See the Figure on the right.
During the adjustment, observe the digital display on the inclinometer
and turn the vertical alignment screw clockwise or counterclockwise
depending on the vertical direction (up or down) needed, until the
reading is near zero degrees.
C1.14 The radar is aligned vertically when the display is near zero (0°).
Note: The alignment process shown here is for Bendix alignment
brackets. For other brackets, similar alignment steps will be needed;
consult the vehicle manual for full instructions.
NOTE: The alignment process is complete after the vertical alignment has been checked (and adjusted, if
necessary.) You do not need to test-drive the vehicle.
