C0561 C0xxx · Chassis (C) Medium severity
System Disabled / Calibration Data Not Available
A chassis function is disabled because required calibration data is missing — common after ADAS or steering work.
Severity guidance: Medium — drivability or emissions affected, book it in this week
Symptoms you will notice
- ADAS unavailable
- Lane assist disabled
- ESP or steering warnings
Common causes
Ordered from most to least likely — start at the top.
- 1 Calibration never performed after repair
- 2 Windscreen or camera replaced without recalibration
- 3 Steering angle zero point lost
- 4 Software update cleared learned values
How to diagnose it
Cheapest and least invasive first — most of these codes are not a parts problem.
- ✓ Identify which function reports disabled and check its calibration status.
- ✓ Run the static or dynamic calibration procedure with the correct targets.
- ✓ Confirm the camera/radar mounting is to specification before calibrating.
- ✓ Clear codes and road-test.
Repair options
- Perform the required ADAS calibration
- Re-run steering angle zero-point
- Reflash and recalibrate
C0561 — frequently asked questions
Can I drive with ADAS disabled? +
Yes — these are assistance functions, not safety-critical brakes. But do not rely on them until recalibrated.
Static or dynamic calibration? +
Depends on the manufacturer. Many require static targets first, then a dynamic road-learn drive.
