WHEN IS CALIBRATION REQUIRED?

Triggers for ADAS recalibration

Windshield Replacement Affected: Pilot Assist forward camera, all ADAS (AEB, ACC, Lane Centering)

CMA forward camera static calibration via Polestar VIDA. Polestar 2-specific calibration target required - not Volvo XC40 target. Level surface. Polestar VIDA credentials required. Verify all Pilot Assist DTC-free after calibration. Check for pending OTA before calibration.

Front Bumper Repair or Replacement Affected: Forward radar, front corner BLIS radars, front cameras (if equipped)

Radar aim static calibration via Polestar VIDA. Front corner radar PMI if disconnected. Verify ACC, AEB, and BLIS DTC-free after repair.

Rear Bumper Repair Affected: Rear corner BLIS radars, rear camera, park assist sensors

Rear corner radar PMI via Polestar VIDA if disconnected. Rear camera calibration if disturbed. Verify RCTA function.

Any Collision Affected: SRS ACM, deployed airbags, ADAS systems

Polestar VIDA + authorized technician for SRS. Note: Polestar 2 ACM not interchangeable with Volvo XC40. Full ADAS scan and calibration required after collision.

Brake Module (Bosch iBooster) Replacement Affected: iBooster, regen brake blending, SAS

CRITICAL: Polestar VIDA automated brake bleed mandatory - standard bleed insufficient for regen blending initialization. SAS zero-point reset via Polestar VIDA. Drive straight on level road 35+ mph for SAS completion.

CEM or NFC Controller Replacement Affected: Vehicle access, NFC key cards, phone keys, all variant coding

Polestar VIDA VIN coding and full variant configuration required. All NFC cards and phone keys must be re-registered via Polestar app after CEM replacement. Notify customer - they will need Polestar app and all key cards present for re-pairing.

HV System Work Affected: BMS, inverter(s), HV battery

HV SAFETY CRITICAL: 400V HV disconnect mandatory, 5-min wait, verify <60V, HV PPE, certified technician. Polestar VIDA programming and cell balance verification after BMS replacement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

How much does ADAS calibration cost for a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2?

ADAS calibration pricing for a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 depends on which of its 5 documented systems need work after a repair. This vehicle is documented with Pilot Assist Forward Camera (Zenseact monocular), Pilot Assist Forward Radar (Zenseact), BLIS Radar - Front Corner (L/R), BLIS Radar - Rear Corner (L/R), and Park Assist Cameras (360 surround). We provide a fixed quote after confirming the operations performed - send the VIN, the repair scope (windshield R&R, bumper work, alignment, collision), and any DTCs so the quote response can include a real number.

Can you reset the airbag light on a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2?

Yes. The 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 uses a factory SRS control module that we support. We read and clear stored crash data, then restore the module to factory status so the airbag warning light goes out and the system returns to full operation. Reference part number on this vehicle: 32106850. Mobile diagnosis and programming are available in DFW, and mail-in module service is available nationwide. Send the part number and a description of what triggered the light, and we will provide a quote and scheduling window.

What is needed after replacing the windshield on a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2?

After windshield replacement on a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2, Pilot Assist Forward Camera (Zenseact monocular), Pilot Assist Forward Radar (Zenseact), and Park Assist Cameras (360 surround) rely on the forward-facing camera and require recalibration before the systems return to operation. We perform the calibration on-site in the DFW Metroplex with OE target fixtures. Mail-in module service is available nationwide for eligible module work.

How long does a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 module service take?

Most 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 onsite jobs are typically scheduled within 24-48 hours once vehicle readiness, access, and route timing are confirmed. This vehicle has roughly 13 programmable modules documented in our database (2 ECU, 2 BCM, 1 TCU, 1 ABS, plus IPC/SAS/gateway/accessory). Mobile module work and ADAS calibration are scheduled in the DFW service area after quote review. Mail-in module service is available nationwide.

Do you cover the 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 on-site, or is this mail-in only?

We run a mobile unit across the DFW Metroplex for on-vehicle work (ADAS calibration, post-repair recoding, and supported module work). Mail-in module service is available nationwide. Quote the work and we will confirm the active service path for the 2021 Polestar Polestar-2. Do not ship a module unless support confirms next steps.

What kind of warranty do you offer on 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 programming?

Every programming, cloning, and calibration job on the 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 is backed by a workmanship warranty covering the scope of work we performed: 1-year unlimited on all flashes, clones, and ADAS calibrations. If a module we programmed or a calibration we performed fails to function as expected, return it and we restore it at no charge. The warranty covers our work; it does not cover unrelated mechanical or electrical failure of the module itself.

Which modules on a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2 can you actually service?

We program, clone, repair, or replace the full programmable-module stack on a 2021 Polestar Polestar-2. For this vehicle our database documents:

  • 2 engine control (ECU/PCM)
  • 1 transmission control (TCU/TCM)
  • 2 body control (BCM and related)
  • 1 ABS / brake control (EBCM)
  • 1 immobilizer / security
