ix20 Headlight Range Control Fault

Hi, I've got a 2017 Hyundai ix20 diesel with 179843 km. Recently, I've been getting a headlight range control fault. The error is stored, and there's a warning light on the speedometer. The low beams are shining either too far down or too far up, compromising visibility. I suspect a defective servomotor in the headlight. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what did you do?

A 2017 Hyundai ix20 owner reported a headlight range control fault, with low beams misaligned and a warning light on the speedometer. The suspected cause was a defective servomotor in the headlight. Another ix20 owner confirmed experiencing a similar issue, which was resolved by replacing the servomotor. The original poster followed this advice, confirming the servomotor was indeed the problem, and had it replaced at a garage.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hey! I also have an ix20, and I remember something similar happening a while back. Was the light intensity flickering at all, or was it just a constant wrong angle? Did you check the electrical connectors to the headlight? Maybe one of them got loose.

Thanks for the quick reply! No flickering, just a constant wrong angle. I did check the connectors, but everything seemed to be firmly in place. Is there anything specific I should be looking for regarding those connectors? Maybe some corrosion?

Well, in my case the connectors looked fine, just like you said. I even tried cleaning them, but no luck. Eventually, I bit the bullet and took it to a workshop. They confirmed it was indeed the servomotor and replaced it. I'd suggest doing the same; it's like trying to fix a broken clock with a hammer if you don't have the right tools and knowledge.

Appreciate the advice! I suspected it might come to that. Booked it in for a diagnostic check at my local garage. Turns out it was indeed a defective servomotor, costing me 1040€ to replace. Thanks for confirming my suspicions and saving me further headache!
