Subaru EyeSight Recalibration Cost
Professional alignment and programming of the dual stereoscopic camera system mounted near the rearview mirror to ensure ADAS accuracy.
Why this fails
EyeSight requires recalibration whenever the cameras lose their 'zero' point, typically after a windshield replacement, suspension lift/leveling kit installation, or a significant wheel alignment. If the camera's pitch or yaw is off by even a millimeter, the calculation for braking distance will be dangerously incorrect.
What the job involves
- Diagnostic scan to check for existing DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) in the EyeSight/FSM modules.
- Physical inspection of the windshield for clarity, pitting, or aftermarket glass distortion.
- Setup of specialized Subaru targets or ISO-compliant calibration boards at specific distances/heights.
- Connection of the Subaru Select Monitor 4 (SSM4) or high-end ADAS scan tool to initiate the 'Teach' sequence.
- Static or dynamic calibration drive to confirm the cameras can accurately track lane markings and lead vehicles.
If you delay this repair
The system may disable Pre-Collision Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control, or worse, provide 'false positives' that apply the brakes unexpectedly at highway speeds.
Save money
- • Check if your auto insurance glass coverage covers the 'recalibration' fee—many policies now include this as part of a glass claim.
- • Bundle the calibration with other services (like an alignment or 60k service) to see if the shop will discount the 'setup' fee.
- • Ensure your tires are at the exact factory PSI and your fuel tank is full before arriving to prevent labor time spent on 'pre-calibration' adjustments.
