I have the following check warning which does not seem to be in the manual. Does anyone know what it means?

"Low Beam Fld/Vision"

[Marks DTM Calib]

HID self leveling system fault.

[dbug]

Levelling sensors neaside wishbone - either arm popped our or dirty contcts
Or levelling motors back of headlight units

Or in my case corroded wire!!

This is what you are looking for, or a version of it as this one is a new version:

I have had Headlamp Range warning light pop up for some years now. Tested several times including by Mr Wood and no faults found - it has a mind of its own!! I just ignore it now - it can disappear for weeks.

Also one possible cause nobody mentioned.
A faulty sensor (it was on mine).
Check in this order.
1. Sensor arm
2. Leveling motor.
3. Sensor itself

Had a same problem over 2 years. I tide up sensor (similar with one in the picture and arm was fall out) with rubber. New cost cca. 100Euro in Opel service

Thanks for your help everyone!

Took the wheel off and discovered that the rear arm had come out, clicked it back in and all seems OK now.

I spoke too soon. A few miles down the road and it came on again. Popped the wheel off and discovered that the rear part of the sensor had come out again.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Sorry about the quality, too much sunlight I think. It looked OK on the camera screen. I hope you can see the part I'm on about.


Does anyone know what parts I have to buy to fix this permanently?

Check the wiring near the ECU - it rubs through insulation, and you get intermittent shorts, causing the error, yet no code stored in ECU

Can't remember if this one had any codes in the ECU when we checked it? :-/

In fact, didn't it have an "Indicator circuit voltage low"? Not sure if that was from levelling or another system.

If that's the case, it's a further indication of a short by the ECU, IMHO.

Does anyone know how a replacement sensor is supplied? Seems to be several parts, A piece fixed to the wishbone, a connector (The bit that keeps popping off) that plugs between the first part and the rear of the wired plastic plug.

Sorry for being a bit dim about this. I'm not the most experienced machanic as you can see.

Thats the normal one where a wire has rubbed through, normally within a few inches of the ecu itself
