Circuit/System Description

Each headlamp assembly contains a headlamp leveling actuator that is controlled by the headlamp control module. The front and rear suspension position sensors provide the headlamp leveling control with suspension position information. Each sensor receives a 5 V reference, signal, and low reference circuits from the headlamp control module. The sensors are connected to the control arms of the front and rear suspension. As the vehicle travels, the suspension compresses and rebounds moving the suspension position sensor arms. This causes the signal output of the sensor to change. The headlamp control module compares the information from both suspension position sensors and adjusts the headlamp leveling as needed. The headlamp control module communicates with the left and right headlamp leveling actuators via the LIN serial data circuit.
