Component Parts DescriptionNKS003QG
AFS CONTROL UNIT
AFS control unit determines current vehicle conditions by received signals and controls AFS and headlamp
auto aiming.
SWIVEL ACTUATOR
Swivel actuator is configured with swivel motor and swivel position
sensor and is built in headlamps.

Swivel motor (step motor)
Swivel motor is a two−phase step motor. It is driven according to drive signals from AFS control unit when
two drive windings are energized in set sequences, and adjusts low beam projector of headlamp.
The direction of actuator rotation can be changed as desired by selecting appropriate energizing
sequences.

Swivel position sensor
Swivel position sensor detects swivel angle and transmits a swivel position sensor signal to the AFS con-
trol unit.
AIMING MOTOR
Aiming motor is installed outside the headlamps. Headlamp aiming
motors set the low beam projectors according to headlamp aiming
motor drive signals received from AFS control unit.

AFS SWITCH
AFS switch transmits state of ON/OFF as AFS switch signals to AFS
control unit.

AFS control unit performs AFS operation when AFS switch is
ON and turns off AFS off indicator lamp.

AFS control unit does not perform AFS operation when AFS
switch is OFF, and turns on AFS off indicator lamp.
HEIGHT SENSOR
The height sensor is located on the left side of the rear suspension
member and detects rear vehicle height change by sensing the dis-
placement of the rear suspension arm. And transmits a height sen-
sor signal to the AFS control unit.
STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
The steering angle sensor is located combination switch and detects
steering angle. And transmits a steering angle sensor signal to the
AFS control unit.
IPDM E/R
IPDM E/R detects ON/OFF state of low beam headlamps. It transmits a low beam state signal to the AFS con-
trol unit.
ECM
ECM transmits an engine speed signal to the AFS control unit.
TCM
TCM transmits an A/T position indicator signal to the AFS control unit.
UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits vehicle speed signals to the AFS control unit.

Unified meter and A/C amp. transmits AFS off indicator signals received from the AFS control unit to the
combination meter.
COMBINATION METER
Combination meter turns on/off or blinks built-in AFS off indicator lamp depending on AFS off indicator signal
received from unified meter and A/C amp.

CAUTION:
Never use this function but on VDC side.
Notes on Steering Angle Sensor (Neutral Point) Adjustment

Be sure to adjust steering angle sensor neutral point before driving if any of the following has been
removed/installed or replaced: Steering angle sensor; Steering system part, Suspension system part.

On vehicle with VDC, perform steering angle sensor neutral point adjustment only on VDC side. Never
perform the adjustment on ADAPTIVE LIGHT side as this may lead to VDC malfunctions. If the adjust-
ment has been performed on AFS side, readjust on VDC side. For steering angle sensor neutral point
adjustment procedures on VDC side, refer to BRC-6, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Posi-
tion" in “ON-VEHICLE SERVICE”.

When replaced steering angle sensor, AFS control unit detects “DTC B2515 ST ANG SEN SIG”. Delete
the malfunction history after adjust steering angle sensor on VDC side.

Steering angle sensor neutral point adjustment should be performed using CONSULT-II. (The adjustment
will not be possible without CONSULT-II.)
Operation Procedure
Refer to BRC-6, "Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
