Front Height Control Sensor Sub–Assembly RH Wiring Guide: DIY Pinout Diagram

What is: The Vehicle Front Height Control Sensor Sub-Assembly RH is a suspension sensor mounted on the right-hand front side of a vehicle. It measures the distance between the body and suspension to detect ride height changes. This data is sent to control units to adjust headlight leveling or suspension systems, ensuring proper vehicle stance, stability, and safe road illumination.

1. Introduction

      The  Toyota Prius 3rd Generation Front Height Control Sensor Sub-Assembly RH (89408-47010) is a vital chassis-mounted sensor that monitors the vehicle’s right-front ride height. Installed on the suspension arm, it detects vertical movement caused by passenger load, braking, or uneven road surfaces. The sensor transmits precise height signals to the Headlight Leveling ECU and related control systems, allowing automatic headlamp adjustment to prevent glare and maintain optimal visibility. By ensuring correct vehicle posture and lighting alignment, this sensor supports driving safety, comfort, and regulatory compliance, making it an essential component of the Prius suspension and lighting control system.
