    • Replacement of the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH
    • Removal/installation of the rear height control sensor sub-assembly LH
    • Work that changes the vehicle height such as replacement of suspension components
  • When replacing the headlight ECU sub-assembly LH, always replace it with a new one. If a headlight ECU sub-assembly LH which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in it will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.
