LIGHTING SYSTEM(for Triple Beam Headlight) INITIALIZATION

Note


  • If the headlight ECU sub-assembly LH has been replaced, it is the necessary synchronize the vehicle information and perform Headlight ECU Sub-assembly LH Initialization. After synchronizing vehicle information, perform Headlight ECU Sub-assembly LH Initialization.

  • Initialize the headlight ECU sub-assembly LH (set the zero point of the height control sensor in the headlight ECU sub-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 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.

  2. HEADLIGHT ECU SUB-ASSEMBLY LH INITIALIZATION


    1. Prepare vehicle for initialization


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

      2. Check that there are no occupants in the vehicle.

      3. Turn off the headlights.

      4. Stop the vehicle on a level surface and keep the vehicle height unchanged.

      (for TFT Meter Type, Movable meter ring not activated)

      Check the headlight leveling warning light and "Check Headlight System" on the multi-information display.


      1. Turn the power switch on (IG), and check the condition of the headlight leveling warning light and "Check Headlight System" on the multi-information display.

        Tech Tips

        If the headlight leveling warning light does not come on when turning the power switch on (IG), perform troubleshooting according to Problem Symptoms Table.
