I called to schedule my alignment after putting on new wheels and tires and was told they did not have the 2021 Ranger in their system. I said the 2019-2021 should all be the same, which they have a 2020, so they agreed to schedule it. They called back a minute later and said if it had lane departure, they would not be able to do it because the system needs to be recalibrated. I have done a recalibration using forscan before, so told him I could do it and it would not be an issue.
It got me thinking though. Why would an alignment cause the lane departure camera need to be recalibrated? Is there something in the auto steering correction, or somewhere else that needs to be calibrated and if so, can I do these calibrations with forscan?
I can take it to the dealer to be done if needed, but was hoping to get the lifetime alignment from Firestone if possible. I just don't want to cause problems in doing so.
