Default IS 220D - AFS flashing

Hi, guys!
Few days ago after car washing i received AFS-OFF flashing control.
After light ON the auto lowering is not workig - light are flashing in one position. On dash the AFS shows as ON but I can't change it to OFF.
I disconnected the battery for whole night but did not take any result.

Now I want to unplug the sensors, and clean the connectors - maybe some disconnections appears... Can you tell my how to unplug this cable from sensor. I've tried few time but is stuck?

Any other suggestion about that AFS issue ?

Few days ago I fixed the problem... Cause of my problem was rusty, damaged sensor linked rod:





As the component integrated with the sensor and can not be purchased separately I decided to made this element by myself. In my case buying new sensor it coast around 400USD that make no sense especial when the sensor work just fine. For new par I used two pieces of bolt joint to the screw like this ones:



Additionally bolt joint I sealed with silicone. As far work perfect, and problem with auto leaving and AFS OFF is gone.
