APPLICATION ITEM
WORK SUPPORT
*: Adjusts the steering angle sensor neutral position on ABS actuator and electrical unit (control unit) side. Refer to
BRC-64, "Work Pro-
cedure".
DATA MONITOR
*: The swivel angle "0°" (feedback value) of the swivel position sensor signal may differ from the swivel angle "0 °" of the swivel motor
(AFS control unit command value). This causes that the swivel motor initializes the value based on the step number from the sto pper.

Aiming Adjustment Procedure
INFOID:0000000006369513
1. Place the screen. NOTE:
 Stop the vehicle facing the wall.
 Place the board on a plain road vertically.
2. Face the vehicle with the screen. Maintain 10 m (32.8 ft) between the headlamp center and the screen.
3. Start the engine. Turn the headlamp (LO) ON. NOTE:
Shut off the headlamp light with the board to prevent from illuminating the adjustment screen.
CAUTION:
Never cover the lens surface with a tape etc. The lens is made of resin.
4. Measure the distance (X) between the horizontal cent er line of headlamp (H) and the cutoff line (A) within
the light axis measurement range (R) from the vertical center line ahead of headlamp (V).
Low beam distribution on the screen
5. Adjust the cutoff line height (X) with the aiming adjus tment screw so as to enter in the adjustment range
(M–N) according to the horizontal center line of headlamp (H).

 The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) conv erts the rectangular wave signal provided by the wheel
sensor to a vehicle speed signal and transmits it to the combination meter via CAN communication.
 The combination meter indicates the vehicle speed to the speedometer according to the vehicle speed sig-
nal received via CAN communication.
