Dear Insurance Company: “There’s No Warning Light” Doesn’t Mean It’s Working

The dashboard is clean. No lights. No errors.So… it’s calibrated?

Let us ask you something: If the check engine light isn’t on, does that mean the engine is fine?Of course not.

ADAS systems don’t throw lights when they’re slightly off.They don’t throw lights if the calibration didn’t quite finish.

They just wait… quietly… for the moment when something goes wrong.

And then? They either:

  • Don’t activate when they should

  • Or activate when they shouldn’t

Both options are bad. But neither lights up the dash.

Dash Lights Are Not the Gold Standard of Repair Confirmation

OEM documentation is.Calibration verification reports are.Actual environmental standards are.

And if the system wasn’t calibrated per OEM spec?It’s a ticking time bomb, whether or not the car’s throwing a tantrum on the screen.

Final Word: No Lights? That’s Not Confidence — That’s False Security

The car doesn’t need to scream to be broken.

If it wasn’t verified, it’s not repaired.And we’re not trusting lives to the fact that the dashboard “looks happy.”
