- Switch the ignition ON.NOTE:
- If the headlight auto leveling system initial setting is not completed, the AFS OFF indicator light flashes at 0.5 s intervals when the ignition is switched ON. This does not indicate a system malfunction, therefore, perform the initial setting.
- Ground the DLC-2 B terminal 3 times or more at 1 s intervals using the jumper wire.
- If the headlight auto leveling system initial setting is completed normally, the AFS OFF indicator light flashes three times at 0.5 s intervals and it turns off.
NOTE:
- If the AFS OFF indicator light continues to flash at 0.5 s intervals, the following malfunction can be considered. Repair or replace the malfunctioning area, then repeat the procedure from Step 1. (See TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX [AFS (ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM)] .)
- With the normal completion of the headlight auto leveling system initial setting, the headlight leveling actuator operation can also be verified. If the headlight auto leveling system initial setting is completed normally, the headlight leveling actuator lowers from its current position for approx. 2 s and returns to its original position.
- Disconnect the jumper wire from DLC-2.
- Verify that the AFS OFF indicator light is not illuminated.
- Adjust the headlight aiming. (See HEADLIGHT AIMING .)
