A real AutoLab appointment
Audi Q8 ACC calibration completed with other vehicle faults remaining
A successful calibration is a result for a particular system. In this Audi Q8 case, the recorded report confirmed successful static front-radar calibration while other modules still contained faults. The service record kept those two findings separate.
Case statusACC calibration completed · other faults remain
Record behind this case: Workfile summary of the attached Autel report, including the ACC calibration result and remaining post-scan faults. Customer details are omitted.
What was completed
AutoLab performed the static front-radar/adaptive-cruise calibration on a 2019 Q8. The attached-report summary recorded a successful result, a calibration routine duration of 19 minutes 5 seconds, and displayed calibration measurements within range.
Address 13, Adaptive Cruise Control, was recorded as calibrated with zero DTCs after calibration. The routine time describes that tool operation; it is not the total appointment duration or a timing promise for another vehicle.
What was still present
The workfile also recorded A5 U110100, component protection active, and A5 U112300, databus error, as remaining active/static post-scan faults. They were not represented as cleared.
| Recorded result | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| ACC static calibration succeeded | Completion of the front-radar calibration operation |
| Address 13: calibrated, zero DTCs | The reported condition of that module at that stage |
| Remaining A5 faults | Further camera/related-system work was still needed |
Why the distinction matters
An invoice saying calibration completed should identify which operation succeeded. It should not imply that every warning, control module, or driver-assistance function is clear when the report shows otherwise.
This case is not permission to disregard active faults before another calibration. Each module, fault, and procedure needs its own prerequisite review. A completed radar operation does not resolve a camera's component-protection condition.
Questions worth asking after service
- Which sensor or system was calibrated?
- What result did the tool record?
- Which faults remain, and what work is recommended for them?
- Does the supplied report support the wording on the invoice?
Common questions
Can the car still show a warning after a successful calibration?
Yes. In this recorded Q8 case, the ACC calibration succeeded but A5 faults remained. A persistent warning needs to be traced to the affected system; the calibration result alone is not an all-vehicle clearance.
Does completed mean all driver-assistance features are restored?
Not in this case. Completion refers to the front-radar calibration. The remaining faults and their effect on other functions require separate evaluation.
