Ford Motor Company has issued a new position statement related to pre and post repair scanning on the brand’s vehicles for collision repairs.

The statement says that “all Ford Motor Company vehicles from and including model year 2010 forward involved in a collision require a pre-repair diagnostic scan during the estimation phase of a collision repair to properly identify all required repairs.”

Additionally, the statement adds that “during the repair process, certain modules and other system components may require calibration orientation to properly complete the repair.

The statement also declares that “the vehicle must have a post-repair diagnostic scan completed after the vehicle has been repaired to verify that new faults have not been introduced in the course of the repair and to verify that the vehicle has been fully repaired.”
