HEADLAMP AUTO AIMING OPERATION
The height sensor detects a change in height of rear vehicle with ignition switch ON, and transmits signals to
the AFS control unit:
When ignition switch is turn to ON position, power is supplied
to height sensor terminal 1
through AFS control unit terminal 6.
When ignition switch is turned to ON position, height sensor input signal is supplied
to AFS control unit terminal 28
through height sensor terminal 2.
Ground is supplied
to height sensor terminal 3
through AFS control unit terminal 8.
Aiming motor driving signal (voltage signal that corresponds to the vehicle height) is transmitted depending on
the height sensor signal at the start of the engine
to front combination lamp LH terminal 12
through AFS control unit terminal 40,
to front combination lamp RH terminal 12
through AFS control unit terminal 19.
Output of aiming motor driving signal is maintained unless headlamp (HIGH/LOW) illuminate detected.
Auto aiming control operation starts when headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminate detected.
When headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminate, output of aiming motor driving signal is changed according to the
height sensor signal. After the change, it is changed according to height sensor signals with predetermined
timing based on driving condition while headlamps are ON.
Auto Aiming Operation
AFS control unit starts outputting aiming motor drive signal when the engine starts, and continues to output it
until the engine stops. Aiming motor drive signal changes output when the specified conditions described
below are met.
Headlamp aiming motors set the low beam projectors according to aiming motor drive signals received from
AFS control unit, both headlamp aiming motors cause the low beam projectors to move to the position com-
manded by the signal.
The aiming motor drive signal level retains when the following conditions are not met.
AFS control unit operation when the vehicle is stopped (low beam headlamps illuminated)
Headlamp aiming motor drive signal is changed when vehicle height is stabilized with a parked condition,
depending on the height sensor signal detected with height sensor signal by AFS control unit.
AFS control unit operation when the vehicle is running (low beam headlamps illuminated)
When vehicle is running, headlamp aiming motor drive signal is changed depending on the height sensor
signal which is detected when AFS control unit detects constant steady speed of vehicle.
When the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating, AFS control unit keeps headlamp aiming motor drive sig-
nal voltage level rather than changing it, so that the low beam projectors of both headlamps do not oper-
ate.
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN COMMUNICATION UNIT
Refer to LAN-34, "CAN Communication Unit" .

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.

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.

CONSULT-II Function (ADAPTIVE LIGHT)NKS003QM
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using diagnostic test modes shown following.
CONSULT-II BASIC OPERATION
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be
detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect “CONSULT-II” and “CON-
SULT-II CONVERTER” to the data link connector, and then turn
ignition switch ON.
2. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)”.
3. Touch “ADAPTIVE LIGHT” on “SELECT SYSTEM” screen. If
“ADAPTIVE LIGHT” is not indicated, check power supply and
ground of AFS control unit. If it is normal, refer to GI-40, "
CON-
SULT-II Data Link Connector (DLC) Circuit" in “GI section”.

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" .
