The In-Process Scan: The Most-Missed Step
Description
Episode 4 – The In-Process Scan: The Most-Missed Step (Sponsored by Smart Express)
The in-process scan may be the most overlooked step in the collision repair process—but it could also be one of the most important. In this episode, Greg and Jen explain why the pre-calibration check, the most common type of in-process scan, plays a critical role in verifying that repairs were completed correctly before ADAS calibrations begin. They discuss how it confirms module communication, detects repair-induced faults, identifies required resets and programming, and ensures the vehicle is truly ready for calibration. You'll also learn why this step is often skipped, how it differs from pre- and post-scans, and why making it a required workflow checkpoint can reduce rework, improve safety, and protect everyone involved in the repair.
