Headlight Vertical aim failure

russkX3M · 07-16-2021, 10:58 AM

Good Afternoon,

I was hoping some of you might have some experience with the issue I currently have on my 2014 F25

It has Halogen lights fitted from factory and recently i have seen the error appear headlight Vertical aim failure.

I have noticed that if i start the car with the headlights on they go down then up and move on the adjuster.

If i then move the switch to the off position or the auto setting the error appears straight away. Likewise if i start the car with the headlight switch in the off or auto position it shows the error.

I have done a google and forum search but cant seem to find any clues.

If you have any hints or tips to help i would appreciate it.

Thanks

Need to read the error codes with a scanner to try to understand and isolate the fault. There are front and rear height sensors that can fail
