My AFS's stopped working and since I didn't want to pay $600+ to Lexus to fix it I have lived with the problem. Since night time driving on back roads have become a problem ( I realize the low beam headlights point down to the road), I decided it's time to fix (and flashing light is driving me crazy) . So, I need some advice on buying a sensor (right rear is where I believe it's located), and my husband says he'll fix it.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Oh and it's a 2006.
Thanks.

Check that it's not just the sensor linkage that's broken/rusted. Here is a thread with an inexpensive DIY fix for that:

Thanks for the suggestion. I hope it's not a broken linkage but since my husband is a machinist, it shouldn't be too hard to retrofit whatever we buy to fix it. If it's not that then I would suppose it's the sensor it self? Since Lexus wanted $600 to fix maybe it is the linkage. After we get some warmer weather (-12 this morning) we'll take a look.
Thanks again.

I have followed a UK Lexus Owners Club post an determined that Toyota service part 48906-35020 is the same linkage ***48906-35010 appears to match as well. So for under $80 USD delivered you can replace that broken, stiff linkage link and save your eyes from welders's flash.This is a GX/ 4Runner repair part found commonly on Ebay. Ships from UAE and in country as well. UK writer was very detailed in photos showing old and new measurements. I am ordering mine this weekend.

Hi, hope you still on line with this forums. I have the same problem on AFS, looking to order the Toyota part you mentioned. I'm also from Canada, would like to know where I can order the adjustable linkage.
