HEADLAMP AUTO AIMING
Headlamp auto aiming control automatically corrects vertical deviation of light axis that is brought by the
change of vehicle height with changing number of passenger and laden weight, and relieves dazzle to oncom-
ing vehicles.
AFS control unit determines the current vehicle conditions by each received signals, and sends commands to
the low beam headlamps to auto aiming. With the headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminated and engine running,
the low beam headlamps are operative by AFS control unit commands.
The height sensor is located on the left side of the rear suspension member and detects rear vehicle height
change by sensing the displacement of the rear suspension arm. And transmits a height sensor signal to the
AFS control unit.
With reference to the rear vehicle height under the empty condition, light axis of low beam with low rear vehi-
cle height is relatively higher than that with the empty condition. AFS control unit switches drive signal corrects
height of low beam axis to maintain height of light axis with empty condition.
Light axis of low beam with high rear vehicle height is relatively lower than that with empty condition. Light axis
of low beam with empty condition is set as upper limit of headlamp auto aiming control operation. Control to
correct deviation is not performed when light axis of low beam gets relatively higher than that with empty con-
dition. Timing of control is switched in accordance with driving conditions.

Headlamp auto aiming operation
*1: Included high beam illuminated
*2: Control timing of drive signal is switched by vehicle speed and accelerating/decelerating vehicle.
*3: Control is performed without regard to the condition of AFS switch. Headlamp auto aiming control function cannot be cancelled.

AFS OPERATION
When The Steering Wheel Is Turned To The Left
Swivel motor driving signal (1-phase) is transmitted when the steer-
ing wheel is turned to left approximately more than 10* degrees
(predetermined), with vehicle speed at approximately 25 km/h (15.5
MPH) or more, headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminated, AFS switch ON
and the engine running and the A/T select lever in any position
except range P or R.
* : Slightly different from the case when it is turned to the right.
Swivel motor driving signal (1-phase) is sent

to front combination lamp LH terminal 17

through AFS control unit terminal 15,

to AFS control unit terminal 38

through front combination lamp LH terminal 21.
And swivel motor driving signal (2-phase) is sent:

to front combination lamp LH terminal 16

through AFS control unit terminal 17,

to AFS control unit terminal 36

through front combination lamp LH terminal 20.
Swivel position sensor detects swivel angle during ignition switch ON, and transmits swivel position sensor
signals to the AFS control unit:
When ignition switch is turn to ON position, power is supplied

to front combination lamp LH terminal 15

through AFS control unit terminal 24.
When ignition switch is turn to ON position, swivel position sensor signal input is supplied

to AFS control unit terminal 29

through front combination lamp LH terminal 14.
Ground is supplied

to front combination lamp LH terminal 19

through AFS control unit terminal 27.
The low beam headlamp LH starts to swivel to the left.
The swivel motor driving signals are blocked and the swivel motion stops when the steering angle reaches
approximately more than 80 degrees (predetermined). The low beam headlamp will not swivel any further no
matter how further left. As the steering wheel is turned back to the right, the swivel motor driving signals (both
1-phase and 2-phase) will be reversed, causing low beam headlamp LH to start swiveling to the right. When
steering angle becomes smaller than predetermined value, the low beam headlamp is set in the straight-
ahead position, swivel motor driving signals are blocked and low beam headlamps stop swiveling.
When The Steering Wheel Is Turned To The Right
Swivel motor driving signal (1-phase) is transmitted when the steer-
ing wheel is turned to right approximately more than 10* degrees
(predetermined), with headlamps (HIGH/LOW) illuminated, AFS
switch ON, the engine running and the A/T select lever in any posi-
tion except range P or R.
* : Slightly different from the case when it is turned to the left.
Swivel motor driving signal (1-phase) is sent

to front combination lamp RH terminal 16

through AFS control unit terminal 34,

to AFS control unit terminal 11

through front combination lamp RH terminal 20.
And swivel motor driving signal (2-phase) is sent

to front combination lamp RH terminal 17

through AFS control unit terminal 32,

to AFS control unit terminal 13

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" .

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

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.
