Title: Headlight Error Code
Post by: Mazucals on 08 March 2009, 11:34:45
S Reg - 3.0 ltr Elite.  Computer gives a warning - 'Headlight Field/Vision'.  Can't find it in the Owners Handbook.  Anyone know what it means ?

Either level sensors or servo motors.

Usually level sensor on front wishbone popped off

Full right lock and look behind the passenger side wheel. Easy peasy job :y

Put on full right lock and you should be able to see the sensor on the left wishbone

Not forgetting that there's another sensor at the back - same side.  ;)

Ah, I can now see it but it looks solid enough.  I'll drop it by the Vauxhall dealer tomorrow.  Thanks again.

You can't put the back wheels on full right lock though ;D

Check the rear sensor too Maz, same side as said already :y

You must have deep pockets! :o
'My' dealer charges around £80 just to plug into Tech II. Each sensor is about £50 new, if you need them, but your problem could also be the level motors in the headlamps themselves.

I have also noticed that the headlights are suddenly very low so it might be that problem.

It could still be a level sensor though. Your lights could be low cos the sensor is telling them to go low. Your car needs plugging into a code reader of some sort. Are you local to any of the Tech II's on the site?

Rather than let Camden screw you over, do a bit more checking first.

As (presumably) both lights are low, that means servos are OK, so its most likely a sensor issue.

Are the little arms still in place on the sensors?

I had this problem even though the sensor looked visibly ok the centre popped out when i touched it, a new front sensor sorted it though.

Ideally get the codes read.  Not sure what members are near you with code readers - Jimbob?

I have had this occasionally, fixed it by getting a nice man with a TechII to exercise the levelling motors for me.
If that doesn't work at least you will have a fault code to point you in the direction of the problem.
