2
Auto leveling system does not adjust optical axis of the headlights for vehicle posture
DESCRIPTION
•  Auto leveling does not adjust optical axis of headlights according to cargo and passenger weight conditions
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Headlight auto leveling actuator malfunction
•  Auto leveling control module malfunction
•  Auto leveling sensor malfunction
•  Auto leveling sensor is not installed properly

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
VERIFY AUTO LEVELING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Verify that the auto leveling warning light condition.
•  Does the auto leveling warning light illuminate 3 s after switching the ignition to ON?
Yes
Go to symptom “No.1 headlight auto leveling malfunction indicator 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 AUTO LEVELING 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:
―  Auto leveling control module terminal J—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  Auto leveling control module terminal I—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) F
―  Auto leveling control module terminal L—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) L
LH:
―  Auto leveling control module terminal J—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  Auto leveling control module terminal K—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) F
―  Auto leveling 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 auto leveling control module.
5
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN AUTO LEVELING 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:
―  Auto leveling control module terminal J—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  Auto leveling control module terminal L—front combination light (RH) terminal (14-pin) L
LH:
―  Auto leveling control module terminal J—front combination light (LH) terminal (14-pin) I
―  Auto leveling 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 AUTO LEVELING SENSOR INSTALLATION
•  Inspect the auto leveling sensor installation (bent or damaged bracket, or dislocated link).
•  Are the 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 AUTO LEVELING SENSOR
•  Inspect the auto leveling sensor.
•  Is the auto leveling sensor normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the auto leveling sensor.
8
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION IS NO VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL OR AUTO LEVELING CONTROL MODULE
•  Verify that the speedometer indication.
•  Does the speedometer indicate properly?
Yes
Replace the auto leveling control module.
No
Perform the instrument cluster symptom troubleshooting “No.8 Speedometer indication is defective” procedure.
