Diagnostic Procedure

HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELING SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE IN RESPONSE TO VEHICLE POSTURE (HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELING SYSTEM) - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Inspection Action
1 DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTIONING LOCATION IS AUTO-LEVELING SENSOR
  • Verify the malfunction symptom.
  • Do both sides of the headlight auto leveling system not operate?
Yes Go to Step 4.
No Go to the next step.
2 LEVELING OPERATION SIGNAL INSPECTION Yes Go to Step 6.
No Go to the next step.
3 LEVELING OPERATION SIGNAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
  • Inspect wiring harness between AFS control module on the side of the auto leveling system which does operate and the headlight leveling actuator. RH
    • AFS control module terminal P and headlight leveling actuator terminal F LH
    • AFS control module terminal P and headlight leveling actuator terminal F
  • Is there any open or short circuit in the wiring harness?
Yes RH
  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AFS control module terminal P and headlight leveling actuator terminal F.

    If there is a common connector:

    • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open or short circuit.
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

      If there is no common connector:

      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open or short circuit.

    LH

  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AFS control module terminal P and headlight leveling actuator terminal F.

    If there is a common connector:

    • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open or short circuit.
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

      If there is no common connector:

      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open or short circuit.
No Go to the next step.
4 HEADLIGHT LEVELING INSPECTION Yes Troubleshooting completed.
No Replace the AFS control module. (See ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
5 INSPECT WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN HEADLIGHT LEVELING ACTUATOR AND AFS CONTROL MODULE
  • Inspect the wiring harness between the following terminals.
    • AFS control module terminal B and headlight leveling actuator (LH/RH) terminal I
    • AFS control module terminal P and headlight leveling actuator (LH/RH) terminal F
      • AFS control module terminal D and headlight leveling actuator (LH/RH) terminal L
  • Is there any open or short circuit in the wiring harness?
Yes
  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AFS control module terminal B and headlight leveling actuator (LH/RH) terminal I.

    If there is a common connector:

    • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open or short circuit.
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

      If there is no common connector:

      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open or short circuit.
  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AFS control module terminal P and headlight leveling actuator (LH/RH) terminal F.

    If there is a common connector:

    • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open or short circuit.
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

      If there is no common connector:

      • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open or short circuit.
  • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between AFS control module terminal D and headlight leveling actuator (LH/RH) terminal L.

    If there is a common connector:

    • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open or short circuit.
      • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:

    • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open or short circuit.
No Go to the next step.
6 VERIFY AUTO-LEVELING SENSOR INSTALLATION
  • Verify the auto-leveling sensor installation condition?
  • Is a bracket bent, is there damage, or is a link disconnected?
Yes Repair or replace the malfunctioning location.
No Go to the next step.
7 AUTO LEVELING SENSOR INSPECTION Yes Replace the AFS control module.
(See ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS) CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Replace the auto leveling sensor.
