AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL SYSTEM INITIALIZATION

Note


  • If the headlight control computer assembly LH has been replaced, it is the necessary synchronize the vehicle information and perform Headlight control computer assemblyLH Initialization. After synchronizing vehicle information, perform Headlight control computer assembly LH Initialization.

  • Initialize the headlight control computer assembly LH (set the zero point of the height control sensor in the headlight control computer assembly LH) after the vehicle height changes due to replacement of suspension components or after performing operations such as removal and reinstallation or replacement of the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH.

  • Adjust the headlight aim after initializing the headlight control computer assembly LH.

  • When a malfunction is detected in the automatic headlight beam level control system, rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH signal initialization is impossible. Perform troubleshooting before initialization.


  1. SYNCHRONIZE VEHICLE INFORMATION

      5. Check the display on the GTS and press "Next".

      6. Check that the "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" on the multi-information display continuously blink 6 times at 2 Hz.

      7. Press "Exit" and turn the engine switch off.

        Note

        After synchronizing the vehicle information, initialize the headlight control computer assembly LH.

    2. When not using the GTS:


      1. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and check that the "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" on the multi-information display.

      2. Using the light control switch, turn the low beam headlights on and off 8 times within 20 seconds after turning the engine switch on (IG).

        Note


        • If the low beam headlights or clearance lights turn on when the engine switch is turned on (IG) on a vehicle without the light control switch OFF position, shine a light on the automatic light control sensor to change the vehicle to daytime mode.

        • Turn the low beam headlights on and off at intervals of less than 2 seconds.

        Tech Tips

        If this step cannot be completed within 20 seconds, turn the engine switch off. Then, turn the engine switch on (IG) and restart the procedure.

      3. Check that the "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" on the multi-information display continuously blink 6 times at 2 Hz.

        Tech Tips


        • If "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" on the multi-information display does not stop continuously blinking 6 times at 2 Hz, perform the procedure again from the beginning.

        • If "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" on the multi-information display stops blinking and remains illuminated, the headlight control computer assembly or rear height control sensor sub-assembly may be malfunctioning.

      4. Turn the engine switch off.

        Note

        After synchronizing the vehicle information, initialize the headlight control computer assembly LH.
