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 ECU sub-assembly removal/installation are shown below.
| Replacement Part or Procedure | Necessary Procedures | Effects/Inoperative Functions when not Performed | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headlight ECU Sub-assembly LH | Vehicle information registration for the headlight ECU sub-assembly LH | Automatic headlight beam level control system |
Note
Even if the headlight ECU (RH side) is replaced with a new one, vehicle information registration is not necessary.
PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
Note
Be sure to read Precaution thoroughly before servicing.
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.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.

Detach the claw.
Using a dryer, warm the headlight lens gasket from the backside of the headlight assembly LH at the separation starting point of the headlight lens LH and headlight housing.
Note
If the headlight is heated unevenly, it will deform or melt.
Insert a finger between the headlight lens LH and headlight housing and lift up the headlight lens LH.
Tech Tips
With all of the claws detached, lift up the headlight lens LH.
When the headlight lens LH is lifted up, the claws may re-attach.
Using a screwdriver, pull out the headlight lens gasket through the opening.
Note
Do not damage the groove in the headlight housing or the surface of the headlight lens LH gasket.
Tech Tips
Tape the screwdriver tip before use.

Pull Out |
Pull out the headlight lens LH until it detaches from the headlight lens gasket.
Tech Tips
With all of the claws detached, lift up the headlight lens LH.
When the headlight lens LH is lifted up, the claws may re-attach.
Before lifting up the headlight lens LH, check that the surrounding claws are not re-attached.
If the headlight lens gasket is disconnected while being pulled out, lift up the headlight lens and pull the headlight lens gasket again.
REMOVE HEADLIGHT LENS GASKET
Note
The headlight lens gasket must not be reused.
Perform work using clean rubber gloves.
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.
If there are fingerprints on the inner surface of the lens, lightly wipe with a soft cloth.
Do not use solvent to clean components. Only clean them with a dry cloth.
Remove the remaining headlight lens gasket from the headlight lens and headlight housing.
