How to eliminate the flashing AFS light on an old Camry?

AFS OFF light indicates that the headlight's adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) is turned off. Press the switch button located above the brake pedal to activate the intelligent adaptive front-lighting system. Inspect the AFS module, use a decoder to match and set the system, and clear the fault code to eliminate the AFS warning light. Disconnect the headlight power supply, ensure the vehicle's power is off, then open the engine hood, locate the battery's negative terminal, disconnect and reconnect it.
When the AFS light on my old Camry flashes, I looked it up and found that it indicates a fault in the adaptive headlight system. Focus on checking three areas: whether the steering module in the headlight assembly has poor contact, if the wiring of the rear axle vehicle height sensor is aged or broken, and also inspect the connection of the steering wheel angle sensor. Last time, I discovered that the sensor connector was corroded—after cleaning the connector and resetting the system with a diagnostic tool, it worked fine. If you can't fix it yourself, spending some money to have a repair shop connect a computer to read the fault codes is the most hassle-free solution. Don't push through it; the flashing light means the illumination angle during turns might be uncontrolled, which is quite dangerous when driving at night.
