Code No.L0432 RLS RS adaptation error

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
When the lighting control sensor is installed with the 
wrong procedure, code No. L0432 is stored by LIN.

COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The lighting control sensor may have been installed 
with the wrong procedure.

• Incorrect installation procedure: Connect the con-

nector before mounting the lighting control sensor 
onto the optical coupler of the windshield. 

• Correct installation procedure: Mount the lighting 

control sensor onto the optical coupler of the 
windshield. Wipe the windshield surface thor-
oughly, and check that the surface is dry. Then, 
connect the connector.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Lighting control sensor improperly installed

• Lighting control sensor (rain sensor) abnormal 

operation

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Disconnect the connector from the lighting control 
sensor, and connect the connector to the lighting 
control sensor again. Then, check again if the diag-
nosis code is set to LIN.
(1) Disconnect the connector of lighting control 

sensor, and connect it again.
NOTE: When connecting the connector, follow 
the correct installation procedure.

(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) 

position to "ON" position.

(3) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Go to Step 2.

NO : 

The lighting control sensor is installed with 
the wrong procedure.

STEP 2. Lighting control sensor installation 
surface check
Visually check the presence of scratches or air bub-
bles (diameter of 5 mm or more) on the windshield to 
which the lighting control sensor is installed. In addi-
tion, visually check that the optical coupler is not bro-
ken and that the lighting control sensor can be 
installed. 

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Replace the windshield (Refer to GROUP 
42A 

− Windshield )

STEP 3. Check whether the diagnosis code is 
reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to LIN.
(1) Wipe the windshield surface of the lighting control 

sensor section thoroughly, and check that the 
surface is dry. Then, perform the lighting control 
sensor (rain sensor) adaptation. <Refer to 
GROUP 51 

− Lighting Control Sensor (Rain 

Sensor) Adaptation >.

(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) 

position to "ON" position.

(3) Check if diagnosis code is set.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the lighting control sensor.

NO : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 
malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How to 

use Troubleshooting/inspection Service 
Points 

− How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunction ).

Code No.L0434 RLS light sensor error

Nos. L0434 and L0436 are stored to LIN.

PROBABLE CAUSE
Malfunction of the lighting control sensor

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
Check again if the diagnosis code is set to LIN.
(1) Erase the diagnosis code.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "LOCK" (OFF) 

position to "ON" position.

position to "ON" position.

(3) Check if diagnosis code is set after 60 seconds.

Q: Is the diagnosis code set?

YES : 

Replace the headlamp automatic levelling-

ECU.

NO : 

The trouble can be an intermittent 
malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00

Code No. B2507 Steering wheel sensor error

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, 

an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior 
to this diagnosis, always diagnose the CAN 
bus lines.

• Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the 

power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the 
communication circuit are normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
If a trouble of the steering wheel sensor occurs or the 
neutral position is not learned, AFS warnings are dis-
played on the multi information display and the code 
No. B2507 is stored.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA
The internal error or the neutral position not learned 
signal is received from the steering wheel sensor for 
2 seconds continuously.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of the steering wheel sensor

• Steering wheel sensor neutral position not 

learned

• Malfunction of the headlamp automatic levelling-

ECU.
