CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
The necessary procedures (adjustment, calibration, initialization or registration) that must be performed after parts are installed, removed or replaced during the headlight light control ECU sub-assembly LH removal/installation are shown below.
| Replacement Part or Procedure | Necessary Procedures | Effects/Inoperative Functions when not Performed | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headlight light control ECU sub-assembly LH |
|
Automatic headlight beam level control system |
Note
Even if the headlight light control ECU sub-assembly RH is replaced with a new one, vehicle information registration and initialization are not necessary.
PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
Note
Handle components indoors as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from entering and adhering to headlight assembly components.
Do not reuse parts which have reduced fastening ability due to thread damage.
Do not touch the inner surface of the lens and metallic surfaces as much as possible, or they may become dirty.
Do not allow metallic surfaces to become dirty, as such surfaces become damaged even if they are only lightly wiped with a soft cloth.
When installing components, make sure that the wire harness is not pinched or pulled.
Do not use solvent to clean components. Only clean them with a dry cloth.
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
