Default 08 gs350 afs light problem

Hello everyone im new to this forum and new to my 08 gs350 rwd
I tried searching for this but cant find my problem. I just purchased my gs350 2 weeks back and everything is great i love the car. But tonight i ran into a problem i was driving thru a parking lot full of snow and my driver side wheel well fell out half way so i stopped and noticed a plug hanging from behind the front bumper by the windshield fluid bottle. So i just tucked the wheel well back in and was heading home to jack it up and see where the plug was from. As i started driving my afs light kept flashing amd the headlights wouldnt turn with my steering and they were quite low
When i took off the rim and the fender liner out i was lookin around for a hour and couldnt see where the plug came from (see pictures) so i gave up and tried looking it up but found nothing! And no im not lowered so please help guys!!
I dont have warranty eaither got 70k

Sorry for the late reply.... There's a sensor on your driver side.... It looks like an arm, the plug might have ripped off from there.

See here for reference: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...-nf210s-2.html

You're going to look at the "FRONT" sensor only, as it sits RIGHT where your wheel well is. There's pictures of where it is located and everything.

Hope this helps!

if the connector is where your AFS is? Trace that exact wire into your engine bay area and see if there's a connector somewhere halfway.

It may be.... there's 4 +'s and -'s from the look of it, and our parking sensor system has (I believe) 4 notches, so that may be it.

I DO remember having a loose connector somewhere in my wheel well also!

Curious, if that wasn't the plug, then how did you fix the sensor?

Yea ill look into the loose plug today but basically what happened was because of the big snow here in chicago i must of hit some ice or something amd it bent the actual metal plate that u adjust the sensor by and it was pressed in againts the rear control arm and therefore it wasnt moving the right way and thats why the afs sensor light was flashing on and off it wasnt off the whole time.
