AFS OFF indicator light flashes when the ignition is switched to ON
DESCRIPTION
•  The AFS OFF indicator light flashes when the ignition is switched ON.
Note
•  If there is a malfunction in the system, the AFS control module flashes the AFS OFF indicator light.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Headlight auto leveling function related electrical part malfunction
―  Auto leveling sensor related part malfunction (DTC is detected)
•  Output signal excessively high or low
•  Auto leveling sensor malfunction
―  Swivel actuator (RH or LH) (built-in front combination light) related part malfunction (DTC is detected)
•  Swivel actuator (RH or LH) related circuit malfunction
•  Swivel actuator (RH or LH) malfunction
―  AFS control module malfunction (DTC is detected)
―  AFS control module power supply voltage excessively high
•  AFS OFF indicator light illumination circuit malfunction
―  Instrument cluster malfunction
―  Communication error between AFS control module and Instrument cluster

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
VERIFY DTCs
•  Retrieve DTCs from the AFS control module using the M-MDS.
•   Is there any DTC present?
Yes
Go to applicable DTC troubleshooting procedure.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT AUTO LEVELING SENSOR INSTALLATION
•  Inspect the auto leveling sensor installation.
•  Is there any bending, damage or dislocated links at the bracket?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT AFS CONTROL MODULE POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Measure the voltage between AFS control module terminals H and ground.
•  Is the voltage B+?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect and repair or replace the malfunctioning part for an open circuit between the ignition switch (push start) and AFS control module terminals H.
4
INSPECT AFS CONTROL MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the AFS control module connector.
•  Verify the continuity between the AFS control module wiring harness-side connector terminal F and ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Connect the AFS control module connector, then go to the next step.
No
Inspect and repair for a loose or poor connection in the AFS control module ground point.
5
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN AUTO LEVELING SENSOR OR ELSEWHERE
•  Turn the headlights on.
•  Measure the voltage between AFS control module terminal E and ground.
•  Is the voltage 0.4—4.6V?
Yes
Go to Step 7.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT AUTO LEVELING SENSOR SIGNAL RELATED CIRCUIT
•  Inspect for an open or short circuit in the wiring harness between AFS control module terminal E and auto leveling sensor terminal B.
•  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.
7
INSPECT AUTO LEVELING SENSOR
•  Inspect the auto leveling sensor.
•  Is the auto leveling sensor normal?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part for an open circuit in the following:
•  Between AFS control module terminal M and auto leveling sensor terminal C
•  Between AFS control module terminal D and auto leveling sensor terminal A
No
Replace the auto leveling sensor.
8
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AFS CONTROL MODULE AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR ELSEWHERE
•  Retrieve the DTCs for the AFS control module and the instrument cluster using the M-MDS.
•  Are the following DTCs displayed?
―  AFS control module:U0001:88
―  Instrument cluster:U0001:88, U0182:00
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
9
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR AFS CONTROL MODULE
•  Inspect the instrument cluster.
•  Is the instrument cluster normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
10
INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN SWIVEL ACTUATOR AND AFS CONTROL MODULE
•  Inspect the following wiring harnesses and connectors:
Swivel actuator (RH)
―  Terminal F to AFS control module terminal I
―  Terminal I to AFS control module terminal J
―  Terminal J to AFS control module terminal X
―  Terminal K to AFS control module terminal R
―  Terminal L to AFS control module terminal L
Swivel actuator (LH)
―  Terminal F to AFS control module terminal K
―  Terminal I to AFS control module terminal J
―  Terminal J to AFS control module terminal U
―  Terminal K to AFS control module terminal T
―  Terminal L to AFS control module terminal L
•  Is there an open or short circuit, or poor contact?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Go to the next step.
11
INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN SWIVEL ACTUATOR OR AFS CONTROL MODULE
•  Replace the front combination lights on the left and right separately with a front combination light in which the actuator operates normally.
•  Does the AFS OFF indicator light flash after replacing the front combination light on the left or right side?
Yes
Replace the AFS control module.
No
Replace the suspected side front combination light.
