That seems to be common on the lifted '10-'13 Premiums... far fewer of them lifted so far or we would likely see more. I've heard of a couple others.

Perhaps the sensor is in a beyond range condition if you have a lift on there?

Thats what I am thinking, from my research there what looks like a potentiometer that is connected to an linkage that connects to the upper control arm on the drivers side. Where it connects the the rear upper control arm is slotted. From what I have found you park the truck on level ground with the lights on and adjust the connection point so that the center of the light beams are 3' off the ground at 20'. I am hoping that this clears the code. If not I am going to work on getting my techstream up and running so I can run diagnostics on the AFS system and see what I can find.

I am fairly sure OBD Fusion (With model year add-on) will pull codes from the AFS module as well but TS is definitely the best way to troubleshoot that.

Ok I have officially gotten the AFS light to go off and the head lights are working like they were prior to the lift. There are turn buckles on both upper rear trailing arms. The one on the passenger side had gotten flipped around during the lift and was probably out of range. I fixed this and had to adjust them to where they were both set level and I was able to get it working again. I will post up some pictures I took of the sensors and turnbuckles when I have more time.

Skids showed up today. I will post some pics of the install once I get around to it.

Just realized I hadn't posted any pictures of the new wheels and tires. I really like the look of the black TRD wheels.

Skids have been installed. A little modification was required for the transfer case crossmember and the transfer case skid. It was not difficult, having it on a lift made it very easy. Very happy with the finished product.

Here are some pictures from a trip we took through the Ozark's.


Huge mud hole in the Ozarks, I hate mud but didn't have a choice if we wanted to get to our destination. I am still cleaning dirt from the underside of the vehicle










Letting the technology do the work.

Aftermath on our way home.

Nice!

Do you have a build link for your trailer? I redid a M416 and ****** MBT back in my Jeep days.

unfortunately I do not... I got most of it from builds on Expedition Portal, and I was not as good at documenting things with it as I have been with the GX. I can answer any questions you might have and I will post some pictures up when I can find some good ones.
