Default RX450H 2010 AFS sensor location

Hi everyone i own a RX450H 2010 and the AFS light is flashing. I checked the rear sensor located at the right side . Is there another sensor because the rear sensor seems to be ok and when i start the car, the headlight go up and down.Do they have to go from right to left too. ?

Sylvain

Left to right is not auto-leveling. The left/right twist is based on steering wheel turn. That said, I don't know where the sender is. The defect can be in the lamp motor and chances of both left and right lamp going bad ar the same time are low. Do try out at night to see of one or both head lamp motors are good/bad.

Our interest is AFS and not leveling. When you turn the wheel left does the left headlamp turn left and on turning right does the right lamp turn right when you turn right.

Looking for visual confirmation and if both sides are bad.

Whether the headlamps turn depends on the model year. 2010-2012 had turning headlamps. I think they removed the turning feature in the 2013 mild refresh.

I think you reset it from service battery it will become company settings and your mpg also increased.
take out both terminals for 05 minutes.

This thread is all over the place and I am lost.

This what I get from Google search
AFS stands for adaptive front-lighting system, or headlights that swivel in the direction a vehicle is turning to illuminate more of the road where the vehicle is heading instead of straight ahead. Adaptive front lighting is a term used by several manufacturers, including Honda, Mazda, Toyota and others.

The title says AFS ... which is different from auto-leveling.

AFS then should do with steering position (turn) and not the leveling sensor.
