AFS SWITCH
AFS switch transmits state of ON/OFF as AFS switch signals to AFS
control unit.
AFS control unit performs AFS operation when AFS switch is
ON and turns off AFS off indicator lamp.
AFS control unit does not perform AFS operation when AFS
switch is OFF, and turns on AFS off indicator lamp.
HEIGHT SENSOR
The height sensor is located on the left side of the rear suspension
member and detects rear vehicle height change by sensing the dis-
placement of the rear suspension arm. And transmits a height sen-
sor signal to the AFS control unit.
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
The steering angle sensor is located combination switch and detects
steering angle. And transmits a steering angle sensor signal to the
AFS control unit.
IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R detects ON/OFF state of low beam headlamps. It transmits a low beam state signal to the AFS con-
trol unit.
ECM
ECM transmits an engine speed signal to the AFS control unit.
TCM
TCM transmits an A/T position indicator signal to the AFS control unit.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signals to the AFS control unit.
Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits AFS off indicator signals received from the AFS control unit to the
combination meter.
COMBINATION METER
Combination meter turns on/off or blinks built-in AFS off indicator lamp depending on AFS off indicator signal
received from unified meter and A/C amp.

CAUTION:
If DTC relating to CAN communication [U1000] and other components are displayed at the same
time, diagnose CAN communication first.
Make sure of the normal operation after the parts (except AFS control unit) replacement according
to the self-diagnosis results. Delete the malfunction history.
Display Results
0: There is malfunction now.
1 – 39: Displays when it is normal at present and finds malfunction in the past. It increases in order
of 0

it is fixed to 39 until the self-diagnostic results are erased. It returns to 0 when malfunction is
detected again in the process.

ACTIVE TEST
Operation Procedure
1. Start the engine. (Swivel actuator is initialized.)
2. Touch “ADAPTIVE LIGHT” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen.
3. Touch “ACTIVE TEST” on “SELECT DIAG MODE” screen.
4. Touch “LOW BEAM TEST RIGHT”, “LOW BEAM TEST LEFT”, or “LEVELIZER TEST” on “SELECT TEST
ITEM” screen.
CAUTION:
Can be tested only when swivel actuator initialization is completed. If initialization is not com-
pleted, “RETRY COMMAND” is displayed and cannot be tested.
LOW BEAM TEST RIGHT
Low beam headlamp (right) can be operated to swivel angle
0
by touching “ORIGIN”, and to maximum angle by “PEAK”.
LOW BEAM TEST LEFT
Low beam headlamp (left) can be operated to swivel angle 0
by touching “ORIGIN”, and to maximum angle by “PEAK”.
LEVELIZER TEST
Aiming motor drive signal can be changed to approx. 85%
(ratio to IGN power supply) by touching “ORIGIN”, and to
approx. 15% by “PEAK”. That angles headlamp LO up and
down.
5. During the operation check, touching “BACK” deactivates the operation.
