Just replaced my rear struts and got the flashing AFS light. Thanks to this great post I was able to fix it quickly. Instead of removing the 10mm nut from the sensor I loosened the nut on the stabilizer link and moved the leveling arm to the correct position as shown in the picture. After this adjustment the flashing AFS light went away. Great job smalldog and thanks for sharing!

I never did fix mine. It's been flashing 6 years now and it doesn't bother me.
Maybe one day I'll get under there to fix it.

It takes longer to jack up the car and pull the tire off than it takes to fix this! The 2007 IS250 location is driver side rear.

Installed H&R springs on my 2011 IS250.

I don't have a flashing AFS light but it does say "check headlights" and a red exclamation point. Is this the same issue?

Read above, take your wheels off and see if something broke your AFS sensors.

Note:..It should be no need to adjust the adjustment bolt. Look at the first pic when I said " I moved it in every position and had no luck" on page 3.( I think everyone that couldn't fix it was moving the same part) Also note the elbow part in that pic is also in the up position. I got that pic from the IS side. Thanks guys
Thanks very much. Got the NF210's put in today and AFS is flashing; I'll have my shop make this adjustment as soon as my new rims & tires arrive.

I popped into my shop this morning with printouts of smalldog's photos.

Fixed in moments.

Still waiting for wheels & tires...
