Puma headlight range control fault

Hi, I have a 2023 Ford Puma with a gasoline engine and I'm getting a headlight range control fault. There's an error stored and a warning light on the speedometer. The low beams either shine too far down or too far up. Any ideas?

A 2023 Ford Puma owner reported a headlight range control fault, with low beams misaligned and a warning light on the speedometer. The issue was suspected to be related to the auto-leveling system, possibly due to a defective servomotor in the headlight assembly. It was suggested to check the headlight switch and consider professional diagnostics. The problem was confirmed to be a faulty servomotor, which was subsequently repaired at a workshop.

I had a similar issue with my Puma (I have adaptive headlights too). Does it seem like the auto-leveling isn't working correctly? When you start the car, the lights should do a little up-and-down dance. If they don't, or if they're just stuck in a weird position, it could be a defective servomotor in the headlight assembly, or even a problem with the headlight switch or the control module. Check if the headlight switch is correctly set.

Thanks for the info! How did you determine the servomotor was defective?

In my case, the lights weren't moving at all during start-up, and the error code specifically pointed to the servomotor circuit. Given the symptoms you described, a defective servomotor is indeed quite possible. Without specific diagnostic tools, pinpointing the exact fault can be tricky. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop; they can properly diagnose the auto-leveling system and replace the faulty component.

Thanks for your help! I took it to the workshop and they confirmed it was indeed the servomotor. Repair cost me 1040€, but at least it's fixed!
