  1. 1A Ford vehicle develops camera-based assistance concerns after windshield tint is installed across the camera's viewing area near the rearview mirror. Which finding should the technician address during the initial inspection?

    1. A. The tint may distort light reaching the camera.
    2. B. A clear scan establishes the tint's optical compatibility.
    3. C. Calibration can compensate for any tint across the camera view.
    4. D. Matching the tint on both sides establishes optical compatibility.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "Window tints or decals that overlap camera field of view near the rearview mirror can distort light transmission and cause system failure or unintended braking." Ford identifies optical distortion from tint in the camera field of view. A scan, calibration, or symmetrical installation does not establish that the tint transmits the camera image correctly.

  2. 2During a concern check on the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1, lane keep assistance is enabled but does not provide steering support at 20 mph in a forward gear. What should the technician recognize first?

    1. A. The camera must be internally defective.
    2. B. The vehicle is below the specified LKA operating speed.
    3. C. The LKA system requires reverse gear at this speed.
    4. D. The operating speed proves the EPS module has failed.

    Answer: B

    Explanation: "System active in any forward gear with vehicle above 25 mph" At 20 mph the speed-enable condition is not met. This observation alone does not demonstrate a camera or steering-module fault.

    Reference: ASE ADAS Composite Vehicle Type 1 Reference Document — p. 5, Lane Keep Assistance

  3. 3At 18 mph in a forward gear, blind spot warning does not activate on the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1. Which interpretation fits the system's operating-speed requirement?

    1. A. Expected: BSW operates at 25 mph and above.
    2. B. Abnormal: BSW must operate at 5 mph and above.
    3. C. Expected: BSW operates in reverse gear only.
    4. D. Abnormal: BSW must remain active while parked.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "Active in any forward or reverse gear at vehicle speed 25 mph (40.2 km/h) and above." At 18 mph, the BSW enable speed is not met. The alternatives confuse it with lower-speed parking functions or incorrectly restrict it to reverse.

    Reference: ASE ADAS Composite Vehicle Type 1 Reference Document — p. 5, Blind Spot Warning

  4. 4At 4 mph, the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1 approaches an obstacle while PCW is enabled. Which audible-alert response should the technician expect as the distance decreases?

    1. A. The frequency of alerts increases.
    2. B. The frequency of alerts decreases.
    3. C. The alert interval remains fixed.
    4. D. The alert switches off as the object gets closer.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "As the distance between the vehicle and the object decreases, the frequency of the audio alert increases." More frequent warnings are the expected distance-dependent response. Decreasing frequency, a fixed interval, or warnings turning off reverses or removes that response.

    Reference: ASE ADAS Composite Vehicle Type 1 Reference Document — p. 5, Parking Collision Warning

  5. 5During an ADAS inspection, a technician finds a nonsanctioned aftermarket suspension lift on a Ford vehicle. What does Ford's ADAS position statement establish about this configuration?

    1. A. Successful DTC clearing validates the altered ride height.
    2. B. An alignment printout validates all ADAS functions.
    3. C. ADAS performance with this modification has not been validated or supported by Ford.
    4. D. Completing calibration makes the suspension modification a Ford-sanctioned accessory.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: Ford states, "Ford Motor Company does not validate or support the performance of ADAS features on vehicles modified with non-OE suspension components". The nonsanctioned lift falls within that limitation. DTC clearing, alignment, and calibration do not change the manufacturer approval status.

    Reference: Ford ADAS Integrity and Repair Technical Imperatives — p. 2, Vehicle Modifications

  6. 6At 4 mph on the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1, shifting from a forward gear to reverse changes the surround-view display from top-down only to a split top-down/rear view. How should this concern be classified?

    1. A. A normal gear-dependent display change.
    2. B. An incomplete rear camera calibration.
    3. C. A failed left-side camera video connection.
    4. D. An incorrect infotainment replacement configuration.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: "In reverse gear the infotainment system will display at top down view and rear camera view of the vehicle on a split screen when vehicle speed is 5 mph (8.0 km/h) and below." The specified reverse display at this speed is split top-down/rear view; the forward display is top-down. That change is expected and does not establish a calibration, video-link, or configuration defect.

  7. 7During a lane change on the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1, activating the turn signal removes BSW steering resistance even though a vehicle remains in the blind spot. Which explanation fits the reference?

    1. A. The turn signal suppresses the blind-spot warning indicator.
    2. B. The turn signal disables the entire BSW system until restart.
    3. C. The turn signal intentionally bypasses the EPS resistance.
    4. D. The turn signal indicates that BSW calibration must be repeated.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: "When the turn signal switch is activated, the EPS resistance is bypassed." This is normal EPS resistance bypass. The BSW description still provides a flashing indicator with a vehicle in the corresponding blind spot; it does not specify complete disabling or a recalibration trigger.

    Reference: ASE ADAS Composite Vehicle Type 1 Reference Document — p. 5, Blind Spot Warning

  8. 8Inspection after refinishing finds 7 mils of paint on a replacement ultrasonic sensor on the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1. How does that compare with the sensor's limit?

    1. A. It is acceptable because the bumper-cover limit is 13 mils.
    2. B. It is acceptable if the sensor uses the corner mounting position.
    3. C. It exceeds the sensor's specified maximum paint thickness.
    4. D. It meets the sensor's minimum required thickness.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: "Maximum paint thickness = 6mil, 1 coat of base and 1 coat of clear." The sensor-specific maximum is 6 mils. The separate bumper-cover coating limit cannot be substituted, and corner placement does not waive the sensor limit.

    Reference: ASE ADAS Composite Vehicle Type 1 Reference Document — p. 15, Ultrasonic Sensors

  9. 9A Ford ADAS-equipped bumper fascia has a tear through the plastic substrate. Which repair decision follows Ford's bumper-fascia repair policy?

    1. A. Plastic-weld the tear and retain the original fascia.
    2. B. Replace it with a new Ford original equipment fascia.
    3. C. Reinforce the tear with hot staples before refinishing.
    4. D. Fill the tear and verify that the warning lamps are off.

    Answer: B

    Explanation: Ford permits, "In cases of substrate damage, replacement with a new Ford Motor Company original equipment bumper fascia". Its policy does not approve fillers, hot staples, or plastic welding on these fascias. An absence of warning lamps does not authorize those repairs.

    Reference: Ford Bumper Fascia Repair with ADAS Technology — p. 2, Ford Motor Company Repair Policy

  10. 10After a mirror-housing repair on the ASE Composite Vehicle Type 1, the left surround-view image is persistently tilted. Which inspection approach addresses the camera's specified installation?

    1. A. Accept the housing geometry if its electrical connector fits.
    2. B. Use image sharpness to establish that the mounting angle is correct.
    3. C. Inspect the integral camera fixture for distortion from the repair.
    4. D. Treat display personalization as compensation for a damaged fixture.

    Answer: C

    Explanation: "Mounted directly to the appropriate side view mirror housing in an integral non-adjustable, non-repairable fixture." The fixed fixture establishes the camera geometry. Connector fit and image sharpness do not establish its angle, and display personalization does not repair physical fixture distortion.
