5
Auto leveling does not adjust optical axis of headlights according to vehicle attitude
DESCRIPTION
•  Auto leveling does not adjust optical axis of headlights according to cargo and passenger weight conditions
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Headlight auto leveling actuator malfunction
•  AFS control module malfunction
•  Front auto leveling sensor malfunction
•  Rear auto leveling sensor malfunction
•  Front auto leveling sensor is not installed properly
•  Rear auto leveling sensor is not installed properly

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
INSPECT AFS OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATION
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Inspect the AFS OFF light indicator light condition.
•  Does the headlight AFS OFF light illuminate 3 s after switching the ignition to ON?
Yes
Go to symptom “No.4 AFS OFF light illuminates when the ignition is switched to ON” troubleshooting procedure.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN AUTO LEVELING SENSOR OR ELSEWHERE
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Turn the headlights on at low beam.
•  Jump DLC-2 terminal B to ground using a jumper wire.
•  Inspect the headlight optical axis movement.
•  Does the optical axis move up and down on both sides?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 5.
3
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELING ACTUATOR AND AFS CONTROL MODULE OR ELSEWHERE
•  Inspect for an open or short circuit in the wiring harness on the side where the auto leveling function does not operate.
RH:
―  AFS control module terminal J—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  AFS control module terminal I—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) F
―  AFS control module terminal L—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) L
LH:
―  AFS control module terminal J—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  AFS control module terminal K—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) F
―  AFS control module terminal L—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) L
•  Is an open or short circuit detected?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part for an open or short circuit.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELING ACTUATOR OR ELSEWHERE
•  Replace the front combination light on the suspected side.
•  Perform Step 2 inspection procedure again.
•  Does the optical axis move up and down?
Yes
Troubleshooting is completed.
(The malfunction is in headlight leveling actuator.)
No
Replace the AFS control module.
5
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN AFS CONTROL MODULE AND HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELING ACTUATOR
•  Inspect for an open or short circuit in the wiring harness on the side where the auto leveling function does not operate.
RH:
―  AFS control module terminal J—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  AFS control module terminal L—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) L
LH:
―  AFS control module terminal J—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  AFS control module terminal L—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) L
•  Is an open or short circuit detected?
Yes
Repair or replace for an open or short to the ground circuit.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT FRONT AND REAR AUTO LEVELING SENSOR INSTALLATION
•  Inspect the front and rear auto leveling sensor installation (bent or damaged bracket, or dislocated link).
•  Are the front and rear auto leveling sensors installed properly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then install the auto leveling sensor properly.
7
INSPECT FRONT AUTO LEVELING SENSOR
•  Inspect the front auto leveling sensor.
•  Is the front auto leveling sensor normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the front auto leveling sensor.
8
INSPECT REAR AUTO LEVELING SENSOR
•  Inspect the rear auto leveling sensor.
•  Is the rear auto leveling sensor normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the rear auto leveling sensor.
9
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION IS NO VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL OR AFS CONTROL MODULE
•  Verify that the speedometer indication.
•  Does the speedometer indicate properly?
Yes
Replace the AFS control module.
No
Perform the instrument cluster symptom troubleshooting “No.8 Speedometer indication is defective” procedure.
