Qashqai Headlight Range Control Fault

I'm experiencing a problem with my 2021 Nissan Qashqai, gasoline engine, with 137896 km on the clock. The headlight range control appears to be faulty. I get an error message and a warning light on the speedometer. The low beam shines too far up or too far down. I've checked the headlight switch, but the issue persists. Any ideas?

I have a Qashqai too and had something similar, like trying to adjust a TV antenna in a storm - pointless! Does it feel like the lights are stuck in one position, or are they actively trying to adjust but failing?

Thanks for the quick response. It feels more like they are stuck. I don't see any active attempts to adjust. Could this be a defective servomotor as I suspect?

That sounds very similar to what happened to mine. I'd bet money it is the servomotor. Unfortunately, it requires special equipment to fix and you have to take it to the workshop.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion. I took it to the workshop, and indeed, it was the servomotor. The repair cost me 1040€. Your input was very helpful!
