Headlight Error Code
« 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

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?
