What year is your car and is it a ul, if so are you running the data controller?

haha. same problem, it intermittently comes on. 04 UL with data

if im not mistaken, it has to do with the ride hight and the auto headlights right?

bumping this b/c it happened again to me the other day. driving along and all of a sudden AFS Off light starts quickly flashing. I tried putting the lights on and off a few times that didn't help. Turned off the car and turned it back on and that didn't help. then i gave up and a few miles down the road it magically turned off. What could be causing this?

Has something to do with the ecus under the headlights ( actually bolted onto the headlihgts) the rxs with condensation problems in the headlights had bad ecu's cause of the water.

The problem is the axle height sensor. Probably the rear one. Replace it and you should be fixed. see this thread:
