Many shops and technicians can come up with multiple reasons why they don’t want to perform ADAS calibrations or invest in the equipment. But, chances are they don’t understand what happens during an ADAS calibration. In most cases, the need is for the shop to extinguish an ADAS-related malfunction code or light. The other common reason is to determine why a driver is experiencing false activation or warnings from an ADAS system.

A similar strategy concerned the engine offering, as the 1969 Cougar was no longer available with a 289.
