Avalon Headlight Range Control Issue

Headlight range control is messed up on my 2016 Toyota Avalon with a gasoline engine. I'm getting an error code and a warning light, and the low beams are shining way too low. I've checked the fuses and connectors. Could this be a defective servomotor?

I had a similar problem with my Avalon, though I can't remember the exact error code. Is it possible that it's the auto-leveling system acting up?

Interesting, could be! I didn't even think about the auto-leveling. What was going on with yours when you had that issue? Was it also a headlight malfunction?

Yep, same symptoms. Low beams aimed at the ground. Honestly, I'd get it to a workshop. Could be the control module or something more complicated. Saves a lot of messing about.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to my local mechanic, and you were spot on – it was indeed the servomotor in the headlight. Ended up costing me 1040€ to fix, but at least it's sorted. Appreciate the help!
