CAUTION

  1. Before disassembling or reassembling parts, always disconnect the battery ground cable from battery. When replacing the audio, control module and other parts provided with memory functions, record the memory contents before disconnecting the battery ground cable. Otherwise, the memory is cleared.
  2. Reassemble the parts in the reverse order of disassembly procedure unless otherwise indicated.
  3. Connect the connectors securely during reassembly.
  4. After reassembly, make sure that the each component operates normally.
  5. Yellow connectors and harnesses with yellow tapes around them are the connectors and harnesses for the airbag system. Using a tester above such circuits may cause malfunction of airbag system. Follow the cautions for "AIRBAG SYSTEM" in this case. < Refer to «CAUTION»(ref-560375-S15420108262013061300000) , General Description. >
  6. Be careful not to damage the airbag system wiring harness when servicing electrical parts and switches.
  7. If the steering wheel and steering angle sensor (steering roll connector) are removed, perform "VDC sensor midpoint setting mode" of the VDC. < Refer to «VDC SENSOR MIDPOINT SETTING MODE»(ref-560389-S40582429032013061300000) , ADJUSTMENT, VDC Control Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM&H/U). >

PROCEDURE

When parts related to the auto headlight beam leveler system are removed or replaced, perform the following procedures to initialize or reinitialize.

Note. Before performing initialization or reinitialization, check the following

  1. Vehicle is parked on a level surface.
  2. The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
  3. Unload any cargo from the vehicle.
  4. Vehicle's fuel tank is fully filled.
  5. Refer to the following chart to determine whether to initialize or reinitialize.
InitializationWhen the auto headlight beam leveler CM was replaced with a new module.
ReinitializationWhen the auto headlight beam leveler CM was replaced with a part from another vehicle. When suspension parts have been removed or replaced. (Crossmember, front arm, sub frame, lateral link, housing, strut etc.) When the vehicle height sensor has been replaced or removed.
CAUTIONIf the indicator does not flash three times or the headlight beam does not operate, it can be assumed that there is an open circuit or faulty wiring in the harness of the auto headlight beam leveler CM, vehicle height sensors or headlight assembly. Perform inspection and repair according to the inspection results, then perform initialization/reinitialization again. Initialization: < Refer to INITIALIZATION , PROCEDURE, Auto Headlight Beam Leveler System. > Reinitialization: < Refer to REINITIALIZATION , PROCEDURE, Auto Headlight Beam Leveler System. >

INITIALIZATION

  1. Check that the indicator in the meter is flashing twice repeatedly.
  2. Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
  3. Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and within 1.5 - 20 seconds, turn the headlight switch OFF --> ON for three successive times.
  5. Make sure that the indicator in the meter flashes three times and then turns OFF, indicating that initialization has been successfully completed. (At this time, the headlight beam drops once, and then returns to the original position.)
  6. Perform beam adjustment for the headlight. < Refer to «ADJUSTMENT»(ref-560378-S10386782442013061300000) , Headlight Assembly. >

REINITIALIZATION

  1. Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
  2. Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, and, within 1.5 - 10 seconds, turn the headlight switch OFF --> ON five or more successive times.
  4. Check that the headlight beam drops once, then returns to normal.
  5. After confirming 4), turn the ignition switch to OFF within 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON again, and, within 1.5 - 10 seconds, turn the headlight switch OFF --> ON five or more successive times.
  7. Make sure that the indicator in the meter flashes three times and then turns OFF, indicating that reinitialization has been successfully completed. (At this time, the headlight beam drops once, and then returns to the original position.)
  8. Perform beam adjustment for the headlight. < Refer to «ADJUSTMENT»(ref-560378-S10386782442013061300000) , Headlight Assembly. >

CAUTIONBecause the halogen bulb operates at a high temperature, dirt and oil on the bulb surface reduces the bulb's service life. Hold the flange portion when replacing the bulb. Never touch the glass portion. Do not leave the light assembly - head without the bulb for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the light may affect its performance.

WARNINGBecause the headlight system uses high voltage, be careful not to perform work with wet hands. There is a possibility of electrical shock.
CAUTIONBecause the lighting circuit uses high voltage, be sure to confirm that the power supply is turned off before operation. When replacing bulb, hold the flange area. Be careful not to touch the glass area. Do not leave the light assembly - head without the bulb and cover - headlight for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the light may affect its performance.

  1. Visually check the bulb for blow out.
  2. Check the bulb specification. < Refer to «SPECIFICATION»(ref-560378-S11796275892013061300000) , General Description. >
  3. Replace the bulb if it is found defective.

HID TYPE

WARNINGBecause the headlight system uses high voltage, be careful not to perform work with wet hands. There is a possibility of electrical shock.
CAUTIONDo not leave the light assembly - head without the bulb and cover - headlight for a long time. Dust, moisture, etc. entering the headlight may affect its performance. When lit (lighting switch is ON), do not touch the harness, light internals, or metal parts of the light. When performing a lighting test, make sure that the headlight is mounted on the vehicle, and the power supply is connected to the connector on the vehicle's side.
  1. Check the bulb specification. < Refer to «SPECIFICATION»(ref-560378-S11796275892013061300000) , General Description. >
  2. Install the factory HID bulb to check whether it lights properly.
  3. If it does not light properly, replace with a new bulb.
  4. Inspect the HID ballast. Inspect the ballast in the following manner, and determine whether or not to reuse. Perform cold starts (light the headlight after turning off for 10 minutes or more), and hot starts (light the headlight for 15 minutes or more, then turn off for 1 minute and relight) several times, to make sure that the headlight lights properly. Monitor the lighting condition right after a cold start up to a stable state (approx. 5 min.), to see if there are any unstable conditions such as flickering. Install bulbs with the same number of operating hours on both headlights, and light for approximately 30 minutes. Check for whether there is a difference in brightness on the right and left sides.
  5. Replace the ballast if it is found defective.
