Default Help! AFS light blinking after car lowered...

Hey guys I need some help here on how to get rid of the AFS light that is non stop flashing ever since I got my car lowered on Tein CS. My front is sitting lower then my rear so should i adjust the rear to make my car sit more even from front and back? Would that get rid of the blinking AFS light? If anyone has advice on how to fix this problem let me know. Help is much appreciated.





Thanks,



Andy



Here's a quick shot on my slammed F sitting on winter rims slapped with Blizzaks LM-25s. Sorry for the crappy quality shot using my BB Bold camera.

you need to adjust the leveler for the AFS. it should be in the rear lower control arm on the driver side, there is a leveler and if you adjust it, you will see your headlights moving up and down. adjust it so it's shooting at the right angle and the warning light is off

I love how people always use the word "slammed" when its not. Don't get me wrong your drop is very nice compared to a lot of people but it's not "slammed"

See this thread from the FAQ.

The rear AFS sensor's arm is likely installed wrong. It's a common mistake when lowering the 2IS.

Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.

Emotional arguments - They're not just for chicks anymore.

The common mistake is to remove or uninstall the sensor or sensor's arm...

All you have to do is remove the bottom bolt and not touch any other part of it, when installing new coilovers or springs..

Can this be accessed without lifting the car or taking off the fender liners? Because my headlights are aimed too low :-\

Yes and that's why it handles well still.
