LAUNCH X431

  Question : I have a LAUNCH X431 PRO5 tool and want to calibrate the ADAS front brake radar of a 2019 Suzuki Swift, but the device indicates that the function execution failed with error code 1337 . I tried accessing the function interface through the ADAS menu and the vehicle software menu, but neither worked. Doesn’t the X431 PRO5 have ADAS functions? How do I perform the calibration? Answer : ADAS functions are divided into static calibration and dynamic calibration. The X431 PRO5 and X431 PAD series do not require additional tools for ADAS dynamic calibration. However, calibrating the vehicle radar is a static calibration and requires an ADAS tool, such as the LAUNCH X431 ADAS Radar 3-in-1 ACC+Doppler+Corner Reflector Calibration Set.
