ACTIVE AFS
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Component Parts DescriptionNKS003QG
AFS CONTROL UNIT
AFS control unit determines current vehicle conditions by received signals and controls AFS and headlamp
auto aiming.
SWIVEL ACTUATOR
Swivel actuator is configured with swivel motor and swivel position
sensor and is built in headlamps.
Swivel motor (step motor)
Swivel motor is a two
phase step motor. It is driven according to drive signals from AFS control unit when
two drive windings are energized in set sequences, and adjusts low beam projector of headlamp.
The direction of actuator rotation can be changed as desired by selecting appropriate energizing
sequences.
Swivel position sensor
Swivel position sensor detects swivel angle and transmits a swivel position sensor signal to the AFS con-
trol unit.
AIMING MOTOR
Aiming motor is installed outside the headlamps. Headlamp aiming
motors set the low beam projectors according to headlamp aiming
motor drive signals received from AFS control unit.

How to Proceed with Trouble DiagnosisNKS003QK
1. Confirm the symptom or customer complaint.
2. Understand operation description and function description. Refer to LT-135, "
System Description" .
3. Perform the preliminary check. Refer to LT- 1 5 1 , "
Preliminary Check" .
4. Perform self-diagnosis by CONSULT-II. Refer to LT-154, "
SELF-DIAG RESULTS" .
5. Check symptom and repair or replace the cause of malfunction.
6. Does the swivel control operate normally? If YES: GO TO 7. If NO: GO TO 4.
7. INSPECTION END
Preliminary CheckNKS003QL
1. CHECK FUSE
Check for blown fuses.
Refer to LT-143, "Wiring Diagram — AFS —" .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> If the fuse is brown be sure to eliminate cause of malfunction before installing new fuse. Refer to
PG-3, "
POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT" .
2. CHECK AFS CONTROL UNIT VOLTAGE
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check voltage between AFS control unit harness connector
F110 terminal 1 and ground.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair harness or connector.
3. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check continuity between AFS control unit harness connector
F110 terminal 25 and ground.

WORK SUPPORT (STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT)
Work Support Item List
CAUTION:
Never use this function but on VDC side.
Notes on Steering Angle Sensor (Neutral Point) Adjustment
Be sure to adjust steering angle sensor neutral point before driving if any of the following has been
removed/installed or replaced: Steering angle sensor; Steering system part, Suspension system part.
On vehicle with VDC, perform steering angle sensor neutral point adjustment only on VDC side. Never
perform the adjustment on ADAPTIVE LIGHT side as this may lead to VDC malfunctions. If the adjust-
ment has been performed on AFS side, readjust on VDC side. For steering angle sensor neutral point
adjustment procedures on VDC side, refer to BRC-6, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-
tion" in “ON-VEHICLE SERVICE”.
When replaced steering angle sensor, AFS control unit detects “DTC B2515 ST ANG SEN SIG”. Delete
the malfunction history after adjust steering angle sensor on VDC side.
Steering angle sensor neutral point adjustment should be performed using CONSULT-II. (The adjustment
will not be possible without CONSULT-II.)
Operation Procedure
Refer to BRC-6, "Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" in BRC section.
WORK SUPPORT (LEVELIZER ADJUSTMENT)
Work Support Item List
Operation Procedure
1. Set the vehicle in unload condition. (Removal all loads in driver, passenger and trunk rooms.)
2. Touch “ADAPTIVE LIGHT” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen.
3. Touch “WORK SUPPORT” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
4. Touch “LEVELIZER ADJUSTMENT”.
5. Touch “START”.
6. “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE” will be displayed.
CAUTION:
When “CAN NOT BE TESTED” is displayed, AFS control unit stops levelizer adjustment as it
detected the change of height sensor signal. AFS control unit detects “DTC B2519 LEVELIZER
CALIB”.
Turn ignition switch OFF not to change the vehicle height. Then turn ignition switch ON and per-
form levelizer adjustment again.
When “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE” is displayed, and “NO DTC IS DETECTED” is displayed on
self-diagnosis results, levelizer adjustment is completed.
When “ADJUSTMENT COMPLETE” is displayed, and “B2514 HI SEN UNUSUAL” is displayed on
self-diagnosis results, refer to LT-174, "
DTC B2514 HI SEN UNUSUAL RR" .
