Hi there,

This is a possible sensor malfunction - related to Suspension Height circuit.

Whenever a warning light of this nature is displayed, your vehicle's onboard diagnostic OBDII will have store the appropriate Trouble Codes.

Your local Lexus Dealership will be able to connect their handheld scanner to your vehicle's computer, which will then tell them where the problem lies (this would take less than 30mins to diagnose - marvellous machines they are!)

Lexus will then direct you on the appropriate action.

Cheers,


"If this has helped you in any way, please rate this solution" :-)

INDIRA KUMAR is sort of correct as it is for the headlights. But it stops them from moving L/R while turning not on/off. Video here shows them in action.
Toyota didn't invent them that credit goes tho Tucker in 1948. As seen in the movie "Tucker a man and his dreams" that everyone would enjoy watching btw. Smart man!

SOURCE: What does AFS of mean????

Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) is used when for example if it was day time and you entered a dark parking garage the lights would detect and adapt to the lighting environment which will then automatically trigger the Bi-xenon headlights to turn on themselves in order to illuminate the road ahead when the vehicle anticipates it is necessary. It is an automatic feature which turns on by itself for your convenience therefore you wont have to induce any actions, the car does it all for you. And most Importantly (I quote) "the Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) automatically controls the headlight lighting pattern according to steering angle and vehicle speed to help provide better visibility at night."

Afs mean lexus

Switch labelled 'AFS OFF' is down near the fuel door release.'AFS' means Adaptive Front lighting System (at night with the Bi-Xenon headlights) it swivels either side, pressing that button means they stay pointing straight ahead and don't turn when you turn the steering wheel. You need to push the button again to turn the AFS back on.

you need a scan tool to clear the fault code before the light will go out, but a health check should be performed to see if any other problems exist.
