Front camera cleaned, now FSD won’t work

UPDATE: The calibration completed automatically after about 20 miles of local driving. The thing that confused me was I didn’t know where the status indicator was showing the calibration process, it turns out it was a small highlighted steering wheel icon on the upper left of the display next to the gear icons. ——— I recently had the front camera cleaned by Tesla service. Following that appointment I’m unable to engage FSD because apparently the cameras need to calibrate. Tesla documentation seems to say that there is a calibration progress indicator on the touchscreen however I don’t see it. I have no idea where I am in the progress of the Camera calibration process. Do I need to re-calibrate the cameras myself or should I assume that technician did that. If the process is already underway, I don’t want to start it again and delay FSD even further.

When they replaced my cameras for the HW3 computer, they just said drive the car. The steering wheel icon on the upper left of the screen will show the progress for calibration. It was already calibrated before I arrived home which is about 15 miles away from the SC. How many miles have you driven after you got the car from service?

Just drive the car. It could take 5 miles, or 20 miles. It depends on road conditions, weather, etc

They may have forgotten to start the calibration process so you may have to go into your menu and prompt it to start calibration but after that you just drive like normal until it says you are good. I personally didn’t have to calibrate when I did it or when Tesla did it either.
