Service
1.
Inspect the front of the vehicle for any signs of damage or impact. If any external damage is found, this TSB
does not apply.
2.
Before proceeding, confirm that DTC B201000 (no basic settings) is stored in the night vision control
module, J853 (address word 0084). If the DTC is not stored, this TSB does not apply.
3.
Perform calibration of night vision control module, J853 (address word 0084) via GFF. Reference the Elsa
Repair Manual for full instructions on calibration of the infrared system.
4.
Following the calibration, one of five messages will be displayed on the diagnostic tester:
“Calibration tool not found”:
 Recheck the setup of the night vision calibration tool to the vehicle as outlined in the Elsa Repair
Manual, 44 Wheels, Tires, Wheel Alignment >> Infrared System >> Infrared System, Calibrating.
 Perform the calibration a second time.
 If “Calibration tool not found” message returns, perform diagnostics outside of this TSB.
“Rolling angle incorrect”:
 Perform adjustment a second time.
 If “Rolling angle incorrect” message returns after calibration, inspect the night vision camera for any
damage. This TSB does not apply.
“Calibration not successful”:
 If the measurement angles of the night vision system are outside the required specifications after
performing a calibration, this message will appear.
 Perform the adjustment a second time.
 If this message returns, check the vehicle for signs of damage. This TSB does not apply.
“Calibration successful”
The calibrated pitch angle displayed on the tester is:
 +0.8° or lower: No further work is needed. This TSB does not apply.
 +0.9° to +1.9°: Write down the displayed angles as they will be needed later. Continue with TSB.
5.
Two spacers (part number N01152322) will be placed between the grill and night vision camera mounting
bracket at the upper mounting points to adjust the angle of the night vision camera.
Note:
RS 7 will require removal of the front cover to perform installation of spacers. In all other vehicles, it is
possible to complete installation without removal of the front cover.

Loosen the night vision camera mounting bracket by loosening the four mounting screws that hold the
mounting bracket to the radiator grill. Mounting screws are shown in the image below (Figure 1) by
numbered arrows 1, 2, 3, and 4. Do not remove or loosen the four screws that hold the camera onto the
camera mounting bracket, these are shown in the image with red dotted arrows.
Figure 1. Night Vision Camera Mounting Bracket Screw Retainer Locations 1, 2, 3, and 4. Loosen screws
1, 2, 3, and 4. Do not remove or loosen the four screws holding the camera to the bracket.
7.
Place a single spacer, part number N01152322, between each of the two upper mounting points that secure
the night vision camera bracket to the radiator grill. These screws are shown in the above image as points 1
and 2 (Figure 1). The image below (Figure 2) references these points on the radiator grill as 1 and 2. The
next image (Figure 3) shows placement of the spacer on the camera as points 1 and 2, the camera has
been removed for clarity.

spacer on the grill facing side of the camera’s upper mounting surface in positions 1 and 2.
8.
After positioning the two spacers between the night vision cameras upper mount points and the radiator
grill, torque all four screws to 2.5Nm.
9.
Perform the calibration of the night vision system once again. Following the calibration, the new final pitch
angles displayed by the tester should be between 0.3° and 1° less than the original values recorded. A final
pitch value between +0.5° and +1.1° is acceptable.
10. If this is an RS 7 model, additional systems must also be calibrated due to removal of the front
bumper. Consult the Elsa repair manual for these procedures.
