ACTIVE ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006213900
OUTLINE
 AFS (ACTIVE ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SY STEM) is controlled by AFS control unit.
 AFS has AFS control (swivel control) and the headlamp auto aiming control.
- AFS control swivels the headlamp to the steering direction.
- Headlamp auto aiming control moves the headlamp light axis up/down according to the vehicle height.
AFS (ADAPTIVE FRONT-LIGHTING SYSTEM)
AFS Control Description
 AFS control unit controls the headlamp (right) only when the steering wheel is turned rightward, and the
headlamp (left) only when the steering wheel is turned leftward.
 AFS control unit detects the vehicle condition nec essary for AFS control with the following signals.
- AFS switch signal
- Vehicle speed signal (received from combination meter via CAN communication)
- Steering angle sensor signal (received from steering angle sensor via CAN communication)
- Shift position signal (received from TCM via CAN communication)
- Low beam status signal (received from IPDM E/R via CAN communication)
- Engine speed signal (received from ECM via CAN communication)
 When the operation conditions are satisfied, AFS c ontrol unit controls the swivel angle depending on the
steering angle and the vehicle speed.
AFS operation condition- Swivel actuator initialization completed
- AFS “ON”(AFS OFF indicator lamp “OFF”)
- Headlamp ON
- While the engine running
- Selector lever position other than “P” or “R”
- Vehicle speed approximately 25 km/h (15.5 MPH) or more (Left swivel only; Right swivel activates regardless of the vehicle speed.)
Swivel Actuator Initialization
 AFS control unit performs the swivel actuator in itialization when detecting that the engine starts.

< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >[XENON TYPE]
SYSTEM
- Swivels the headlamp to the vehicle-center side until it hits the stopper.
- Returns the swivel angle from the stopper. Completes t
he initialization with regarding the returned position
as the swivel angle 0 ° (straight-forward position).
Swivel Operation
 AFS control unit transmits the drive signal to the sw ivel actuator when activation conditions are satisfied.
And swivels the headlamp.
- The swivel starts after steering approximately 20 ° or more from straight-forward position.
NOTE:
The steering angle differs between right turn and left turn.
- The swivel angle becomes the maximum angle toward t he driving direction if the steering angle is approxi-
mately 90 ° or more depending on the vehicle speed. The swivel angle is maintained by shutting off the drive
signal.
- The swivel starts, and returns to the swivel angle 0 ° (straight-forward position) when the steering is returned
to the straight-forward position.
 AFS control unit returns the swivel angle to the strai ght-forward position, and stops the swivel regardless of
the steering angle if the operation condition is not satisfied while the swivel angle is 0°.
AFS OFF Indicator Lamp
 AFS control unit transmits AFS OFF indicator lamp signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 Combination meter turns AFS OFF indicator lamp ON /OFF/blinking according to AFS OFF indicator lamp
signal.
- AFS OFF indicator lamp is turned ON for 1 second for the AFS OFF indicator lamp bulb check when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON. AFS OFF indicator lamp is turned OFF within 1 second when the engine starts.
- AFS OFF indicator lamp turns ON when AFS is switched to “OFF” by operating AFS switch.
- AFS OFF indicator lamp blinks (1 second each) if AFS control unit detects a specific DTC.
NOTE:
Combination meter blinks AFS OFF indicator lamp (approximately 1 second each) if AFS OFF indicator
lamp signal is not received from AFS control unit.
HEADLAMP AUTO AIMING
Headlamp Auto Aiming Control Description
 AFS control unit controls the headl amp light axis height appropriately according to the vehicle height.
 AFS control unit detects the vehicle condition necessa ry for headlamp auto aiming control with the following
signals.
- Height sensor signals (front and rear)
- Vehicle speed signal (received from combination meter via CAN communication)
- Low beam status signal (received from IPDM E/R via CAN communication)
- Engine speed signal (received from ECM via CAN communication)
 When the operation conditions are satisfied, AFS cont rol unit transmits the aiming motor drive signal for
adjusting the headlamp axis height.
Headlamp auto aiming operation condition- Headlamp ON
- While the engine running
- Vehicle speed (Control mode is switched according to the driving condition.)
Headlamp Auto Aiming Operation
 AFS control unit calculates the vehicle pitch angle fr om the front and rear height sensor signal. AFS control
unit judges the angle for adjusting the axis gap from the preset position.
 AFS control unit controls the headlamp axis by c hanging the aiming motor drive signal output according to
the front and rear vehicle height when detecting the follo wing vehicle condition. Output is maintained if other
condition than following is detected.
- Engine starts.
- Headlamp is turned ON.
- Vehicle posture becomes stable after changing the v ehicle posture change is detected with the headlamp
ON and the vehicle stopped.
- Vehicle speed is maintained with the headlamp ON and the vehicle driven.
CAUTION:
Adjusted axis position may differ from the preset position although the headlamp auto aiming acti-
vates properly if the suspension is replaced or worn.

APPLICATION ITEM
WORK SUPPORT
*: Adjusts the steering angle sensor neutral position on ABS actuator and electrical unit (control unit) side. Refer to
BRC-64, "Work Pro-
cedure".
DATA MONITOR
*: The swivel angle "0°" (feedback value) of the swivel position sensor signal may differ from the swivel angle "0 °" of the swivel motor
(AFS control unit command value). This causes that the swivel motor initializes the value based on the step number from the sto pper.
ACTIVE TEST
Diagnostic mode Description
Ecu Identification Allows confirmation of AFS control unit part number.
Self Diagnostic Result Displays the diagnosis results judged by AFS control unit.
Work support Sets each sensor.
Data monitor Indicates AFS control unit input data in real time.
Active test Provides the drive signal to the load. Checks operation.
