6. After the AFS OFF light flashes three times at 0.5 s intervals, verify that it turns off.

- If the AFS OFF light continues to flash at 0.5 s intervals, the following malfunction can be considered. Repair or replace the malfunctioning area, then repeat the procedure from Step 1.

- Auto leveling sensor malfunction Testing and Inspection
- AFS control module malfunction
- Instrument cluster malfunction Component Tests and General Diagnostics
- Malfunction in the related wiring harnesses

7. Disconnect the jumper wire from DLC-2.

8. Verify that the AFS OFF light is not illuminated.
