Default AFS light on after coilover swap

Hey guys, so after swapping my Megan EZ coilovers with a member here for the stock suspension on my IS350, the "AFS OFF" light is blinking & it won't go away. I believe it is what controls our headlights to turn right or left based on the direction of the steering wheel. Any idea how to get the light to go off? Also since it happened, my driver side fog light does not come on anymore

Theres a sensor on the driver side front and rear control arms, either they got broken or moved. fog light not coming on is just a coincidence.

I ran into the same issue when I lowered my car. I just loosened the bolt on the rear sensor and slid the bolt up. In your case the bolt should probably be moved down, the factory position of mine was in the middle so you might try that. You might also have to readjust each headlight after you move it.

Like Panda08 said, it's probably just coincidence that your fog light burnt out at the same time.

yeah i had this "mod" done on my car to when lowering it on BC's. had to move the bracket for the AFS sensor to an "L" position so the AFS didnt stop working.

good luck

I don't know how hard to use "search button". Thread like this shows up once in a while.
Just for your reference, there is DIY how to fix AFS
