DESCRIPTION
The headlight leveling ECU actuates the headlight leveling motors according to the vehicle conditions.
WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- After replacing the headlight leveling ECU, initialization of the ECU is necessary ().
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (HEADLIGHT LEVELING MOTOR) |
Using the intelligent tester, perform the Active Test ().
HL Auto LevelingTester Display | Test Part | Control Range | Diagnostic Note |
Drive The Leveling Motor UP* | Headlight leveling motor upward operation | ON/OFF | ON: Move up OFF: Stop |
Drive The Leveling Motor DOWN* | Headlight leveling motor downward operation | ON/OFF | ON: Move down OFF: Stop |
*: Perform the Active Test with the engine running and vehicle stopped.
- OK:
- Headlight leveling motors operate normally.
OK | |

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HEADLIGHT UNIT ASSEMBLY - HEADLIGHT LEVELING ECU ASSEMBLY) |
Disconnect the E109 headlight leveling ECU connector.
Disconnect the A54*1 or A58*2 headlight leveling motor connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
for LHTester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
E109-11 (LH+) - A54-8 (LHIG) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E109-18 (LHT) - A54-3 (LH T) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E109-24 (LH-) - A54-4 (LH E) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E109-11 (LH+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
E109-18 (LHT) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
E109-24 (LH-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
for RHTester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
E109-10 (RH+) - A58-8 (RHIG) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E109-17 (RHT) - A58-3 (RH T) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E109-23 (RH-) - A58-4 (RH E) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E109-10 (RH+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
E109-17 (RHT) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
E109-23 (RH-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |

Disconnect the headlight leveling motor connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
- for LH:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
8 (LHIG) - 3 | Always | Below 1 Ω |
3 (LH T) - 2 |
4 (LH E) - 1 |
- for RH:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
8 (RHIG) - 3 | Always | Below 1 Ω |
3 (RH T) - 2 |
4 (RH E) - 1 |
| REPLACE HEADLIGHT UNIT ASSEMBLY ()

4.CHECK HEADLIGHT LEVELING MOTOR |
Temporarily replace the headlight leveling motor with a new or normally functioning one ().
Perform the Active Test of the leveling motors ().
- OK:
- Headlight leveling motors operate normally.
