Failure Detection Function
Abnormal input detection function

If the discharge headlight control unit input voltage (9—16 V) fails to maintain operational voltage (except for 
the drop in voltage immediately after the headlights are turned on), the discharge headlight control unit turns off 
the headlights for protection or to prevent part operation errors.

The discharge headlight control unit turns the headlights back on at resumption of normal operational voltage.

Abnormal output detection function

If there is an abnormality in the output system (detects an open or GND short circuit in harness), the discharge 
headlight control unit turns off the headlights for protection or to prevent part operation errors.

If the discharge headlight control unit turns off the headlights due to an abnormality in the output system, the 
discharge headlight control unit will maintain them in the off condition until the light switch is turned again from 
off to on.

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

A6E811201052T12

Outline

The on-board diagnostic function is incorporated into the discharge headlight control unit (LH) and discharge 
headlight control unit (RH). This function can narrow down discharge headlight malfunction locations.

The on-board diagnostic function consists of the following functions: a failure detection function, which detects 
malfunctions in discharge headlight system-related parts; a memory function, which stores detected DTCs; a 
self-malfunction diagnostic function, which indicates system malfunctions using DTCs; and a PID/data 
monitoring function, which verifies the input/output condition of specific input/output signals being read out.

Using an SST (WDS or equivalent), DTCs can be read out and deleted, and the PID/data monitoring function 
can be activated.

.

Self-Malfunction Diagnostic Function

The self-malfunction diagnostic function determines that there is a malfunction, and outputs a signal, as a DTC, 
to the DLC-2. The DTC can be read out using an SST (WDS or equivalent).

Failure Detection Function

The failure detection function in each discharge headlight control unit detects malfunctions in input/output 
signals.

This function outputs the DTC for the detected malfunction to the DLC-2, and also sends the detected result to 
the memory function.

Memory Function

The memory function stores the DTC for the malfunction of input/output signals for related parts, as determined 
by the failure detection function.

PID/Data Monitor Function

The PID/data monitoring function optionally selects monitored input/output signal items that are set in the 
discharge headlight control unit (LH) or the discharge headlight control unit (RH), and performs read out in real 
time.

An SST (WDS or equivalent) is used to read out the PID/data monitor information.

HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELING SYSTEM

A6E811201052T06

Outline

The optical axis of the headlights adjusts automatically at fixed angles to improve visibility and prevent the 
blinding of oncoming traffic when the vehicle changes speed or is under varying cargo and passenger weight 
conditions, among other variables.

Varying Passenger And Cargo Conditions Operation

1. According to the fluctuation of the suspension, the auto leveling sensors installed in the front and rear of the 

vehicle send a signal to auto leveling control unit (main).

2. When a difference between two of the signal inputted from the auto leveling sensors is detected, the auto 

leveling control unit (main) verifies the vehicle attitude, then calculates the amount of optical axis adjustment 
and sends signal to the auto leveling control unit (sub).

3. The auto leveling control unit compares the actual and the required position of the reflector, then inputs a 

command signal to the headlight leveling actuator.

Operation when driving

1. While driving with the headlights on, the auto leveling control unit (main) receives an inputted vehicle speed 

signal from the ABS/TCS HU/CM or DSC HU/CM unit (referred to as ABS (DSC) HU/CM in this section) and a 
signal based on suspension fluctuation from the front and rear auto leveling sensors.

2. Based on the inputted vehicle speed signal, the auto leveling control unit calculates acceleration angle and 

verifies the change in vehicle speed. Also, if there is a difference between two signal inputted from the front and 
rear auto leveling sensors, the auto leveling control unit (main) unit verifies the actual attitude of the vehicle. 
The auto leveling control unit (main) calculates the optical axis adjustment amount based on the condition of 
these two signal, and sends signal to the auto leveling control unit (sub).

3. The auto leveling control unit compares the actual and the required position of the reflector, then inputs 

command signal to the leveling actuator.
