HINT:
  • *1: When the AFS indicator light does not turn on or blink despite the symptom being indicated, check the battery voltage.
  • *2: Check if the headlight swivel motor turns smoothly by hand. If the motor does not turn, replace it with a new one. If the motor still does not turn, replace the headlight with a new one.
  • *3: Before the inspection, check that the AFS OFF switch is not pushed.
