Unfortunately, the flashing indicates a fault.

The head lights should still work fine, but won't turn as you steer and change speed !

Sorry, I don't have the faintest idea where to start.

 

I seem to recall a previous response indicating the system used several sensors, all interlinked through an ECU.

Could it be related to ABS? Mine was faulty and the AFS light came on flashing. It stopped flashing when ABS was fixed. Just a thought.

    Just a suggestion check the headlight bulbs haven't blown, this does give a AFS fault
