HRV Headlight Range Control Fault

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2017 Honda HRV hybrid. It's got about 168999 km on the clock. Recently, a headlight range control fault has appeared. The error is stored, and a warning light is constantly on. The low beams seem to be shining too far down or up. I've checked the headlight switch and electrical connectors, but they seem okay. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2017 Honda HRV hybrid experienced a headlight range control fault, with a warning light on and low beams misaligned. Initial checks of the headlight switch and connectors showed no issues. The problem was suggested to be related to the auto-leveling system, specifically the servomotor, which adjusts the beam. After taking the vehicle to a workshop, the servomotor was confirmed as the issue and was repaired.

Hey, I had a similar issue with my HRV, though I didn't check the error memory. Same symptoms though – warning light and the beam being all over the place. Have you checked the auto-leveling system? It might be a problem with that. Is the control module working properly? I would check the servomotor; it's what actually moves the beam.

Thanks for the quick reply! Where exactly is the auto-leveling system located, and is there an easy way to check the servomotor myself, or do I need specialized equipment?

It's usually built into the headlight assembly itself. Honestly, checking the servomotor without the right tools is tricky. You could visually inspect the wiring and connectors leading to the servomotor for corrosion or damage, but beyond that, you're probably better off taking it to a workshop. In my case, it ended up being a defective servomotor. It’s a pain, I know.

Thanks so much for your help! I took it to the workshop, and you were right - the servomotor was the culprit. Repair cost was around 1040€, but at least it's fixed now. I appreciate your advice!
