Lexus ES: Headlight Beam Level Control Motor LH Lost Communication (B2424,B2425)
DESCRIPTION
Each headlight ECU sub-assembly and headlight leveling motor communicate via LIN communication.
The headlight leveling motor operates according to power supplied and automatic headlight beam level control signals from its respective headlight ECU sub-assembly and sends its operating state to the headlight ECU sub-assembly.
