AUTO LEVELING CONTROL MODULE FUNCTION
CHU091801052S10
• In order to prevent blinding from oncoming traffic and to improve visibility, the auto leveling control module
automatically controls the optical axis direction for optimal illumination based on signals input from the ABS
(DSC) HU/CM and the auto leveling sensor.
• If an error signal from the auto leveling sensor or excessive power supply voltage is detected, the auto leveling
indicator light is illuminated to warn the driver of a malfunction.
Fail-safe Function
• The fail-safe function operates when the auto leveling control module detects a malfunction. It also warns the
driver of a malfunction by illuminating the indicator light as shown in the fail-safe function table.
• The fail-safe function controls each part as shown in the fail-safe function table.
Note
• When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the auto leveling control module checks the auto
leveling indicator light bulb and illuminates the bulb for 3 s to indicate that there is no malfunction.
