Jeep Cherokee Adaptive Headlight System Malfunction Fix

Had the same auto-leveling issue on my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel last winter. The control module was malfunctioning, causing unusual beam adjustment changes while driving. Initial diagnosis revealed a defective servomotor in the headlight assembly. The repair involved: 1. Complete diagnostic scan of the adaptive headlights system 2. Replacement of the faulty headlight servomotor 3. Calibration of the new component 4. Reset of the headlight control module This was a complex repair requiring specialized diagnostic equipment. The issue needed immediate attention as improper beam adjustment can create dangerous situations for oncoming traffic. The repair took about 4 hours to complete. Important notes about this repair: Requires certified technician with experience in adaptive lighting systems, Generic parts not recommended, Full system calibration necessary after component replacement, Best to address quickly to prevent additional damage to the headlight switch and related components This is a known issue with these models and waiting too long can lead to complete headlight system failure.

That solution exactly matches what I experienced with my Cherokee. The light intensity was all over the place and ended up being a faulty control module. Mind sharing what the total repair cost was in your case? Also curious if you had any other headlight malfunction issues since getting it fixed. Want to budget properly before heading to the shop.

The headlight range control fault was completely resolved after the repair. Paid 1040 Euro for fixing the defective servomotor in the headlight assembly, which included labor and the OEM part. The electrical connectors and control module were thoroughly tested during the repair to ensure no underlying issues remained. No headlight malfunctions since the fix, the auto-leveling system works perfectly now. The repair shop checked all related components, including the headlight switch and wiring, to prevent future problems. The investment was worth it considering the safety implications of malfunctioning adaptive headlights. The repair costs might seem high, but proper diagnosis and quality parts are crucial for these complex lighting systems. Using aftermarket parts or attempting cheaper fixes often leads to recurring issues.

Thanks for all the details. Finally got my Cherokee fixed last week. Found a certified shop through some research and glad I did. The mechanic found exactly what you described, faulty servomotor causing the adaptive headlights to malfunction. The shop did a full diagnostic scan and replaced the servomotor along with some worn electrical connectors. The light intensity is perfect now and no more warning lights on the dash. Whole job cost me 980 Euro, which included the parts, labor, and system calibration. Got it done just in time too, was getting really concerned about night driving with those unpredictable beam adjustments. The headlight switch and other components all checked out fine, so hopefully this fixes the issue for good.
