AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT BEAM LEVEL CONTROL SYSTEM INITIALIZATION

Note


  • The necessary procedures (adjustment, calibration, initialization or registration) that must be performed after parts are removed and installed, or replaced during No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH removal/installation are shown below.

    Performed Work or System Condition Necessary Procedures Proceed to
    Replacement of the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH Synchronize the vehicle information SYNCHRONIZE VEHICLE INFORMATION
    Perform No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH initialization No. 1 HEADLIGHT ECU SUB-ASSEMBLY LH INITIALIZATION
    Replacement of the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH, removal and reinstallation of the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH, replacement of the suspension, etc. has been performed. Perform No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH initialization No. 1 HEADLIGHT ECU SUB-ASSEMBLY LH INITIALIZATION

  • A new No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH cannot operate until the vehicle information has been synchronized.

  • After replacing the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH, it is necessary to perform synchronize the vehicle information and initialization.

  • Even if the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly RH is replaced with a new one, synchronize the vehicle information and initialization are not necessary.

  • Adjust the headlight aim after initializing the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-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


    1. When using the GTS:


      1. Turn the power switch off.

      2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      3. Turn the power switch on (IG) and check that the "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" warning message is displayed on the multi-information display.

      4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / HL AutoLeveling / Utility / ECU Information Sync.


        Body Electrical > HL AutoLeveling > Utility
        Tester Display
        ECU Information Sync

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

      6. Check that the "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message continuously blinks 6 times at 2 Hz on the multi-information display.

        Tech Tips


        • If "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message does not start blinking on the multi-information display after performing step (v), perform the procedure again.

        • If "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message changes from blinking to displayed on the multi-information display, the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH may be malfunctioning.

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

        Note

        After synchronizing the vehicle information, initialize the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH.

    2. When not using the GTS:


      1. Turn the power switch on (IG) and check that the "Headlight System Uninitialized Visit Your Dealer" warning message is displayed on the multi-information display.

      2. Using the headlight dimmer switch, turn the low beam headlights on and off 8 times within 20 seconds after turning the power switch on (IG).

        Tech Tips

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

      3. Check that the "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message continuously blinks 6 times at 2 Hz on the multi-information display.

        Tech Tips


        • If the "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message does not start blinking on the multi-information display after performing step (ii), perform the procedure again.

        • If the "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message changes from blinking to displayed on the multi-information display, turn the power switch off and then on (IG). If the "Headlight System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer" warning message is displayed 5 seconds or more after the power switch was turned on (IG), the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH may be malfunctioning.

      4. Turn the power switch off.

        Note

        After synchronizing the vehicle information, initialize the No. 1 headlight ECU sub-assembly LH.

  2. NO. 1 HEADLIGHT ECU SUB-ASSEMBLY LH INITIALIZATION


    1. Prepare vehicle for initialization


      1. Unload the vehicle, ensuring that the spare tire, tools and jack are in their original positions.
