Honda models with the millimeter wave radar

Any time you're aiming the millimeter wave radar with the i-HDS, be sure you first do the mechanical vertical aiming with the rectangular bubble level as called out in the aiming procedure. If you don't follow this, you could wind up with a variety of radar-related issues or even a comeback.

If your shop doesn't have that bubble level (let's face it, it's small and easy to lose), you can order one from McMaster-Carr at www.mcmaster.com. It's listed as a 7/16" Square Rectangular Vial (P/N 3338A14). It's not an expensive item, so you might want to order some extras while you're at it.

Keep in mind if you're aiming the millimeter wave radar on a 2013-15 Accord or 2014-15 Accord Hybrid, the procedure calls for the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Sensor Alignment Tool Set (SPX 10243), instead of the rectangular bubble level. If your shop doesn't have this tool set, you can order one from the Honda Tool and Equipment Program.
