Auto Headlight Beam Leveler System: Procedure: REINITIALIZATION

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
  2. Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and, within 1.5 - 10 seconds, turn the headlight switch OFF → ON five or more successive times.
  4. Check that the headlight beam drops once, then returns to normal.
  5. After confirming 4), turn the ignition switch to OFF within 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON again, and, within 1.5 - 10 seconds, turn the headlight switch OFF → ON five or more successive times.
  7. Make sure that the indicator in the meter flashes three times and then turns OFF, indicating that reinitialization has been successfully completed. (At this time, the headlight beam drops once, and then returns to the original position.)
  8. Perform beam adjustment for the headlight. < Refer to ADJUSTMENT , Headlight Assembly. >
    CAUTION: If the indicator does not flash three times or the headlight beam does not operate, it can be assumed that there is an open circuit or faulty wiring in the harness of the auto headlight beam leveler control module, rear vehicle height sensors or headlight assembly. Perform inspection and repair according to the inspection results, then perform initialization/reinitialization again.
