Ridgeline headlight auto leveling issue

My 2009 Honda Ridgeline with a gasoline engine is throwing a fit with the headlights! Error's stored, dash is lit up, and the low beams are either staring at the ground or blinding oncoming traffic. Anyone else run into this auto-leveling nonsense?

A 2009 Honda Ridgeline is experiencing issues with its headlight auto-leveling system, causing the low beams to misalign. The problem is identified as a defective servomotor within the headlight assembly. The suggested solution is to inspect and potentially replace the servomotor, which may require professional assistance due to the complexity of accessing it. The issue was resolved by replacing the faulty servomotor, restoring proper headlight function.

Sounds like a pain! Have you checked the servomotors in the headlights themselves? Error codes relating to the adaptive headlights often point to those.

Servomotors, huh? Where are those located exactly, and are they something I can easily get to? I really don't want to rip apart the whole front end.

They're inside the headlight assembly. Accessing them can be tricky, depending on how Honda designed it. If you’re not comfortable, I'd suggest having a workshop take a look. Headlight issues can be complex!

Just got back from the shop. Turns out it WAS a defective servomotor in the headlight, just like you suggested! Cost me 1040€ for the repair, but at least I can see at night again. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
