Seat Ateca Headlight Range Control Fault

Sounds like a familiar problem. I had a similar headlight malfunction with my old Volvo a while back. The symptoms were almost identical: error message, warning light, and the low beam shining way too low. Have you checked the headlight range control module itself? It might be worth investigating before you start replacing parts. The Volvo's issue turned out to be a faulty control module connection, not the servomotor itself, so maybe check the wirings.

Interesting, thanks for the info! Where exactly is the headlight range control module located? Is it easy to access, or do I need to dismantle half the car to get to it?

On the Volvo, the control module was tucked away near the wheel well, behind the plastic liner. I don't know the Ateca specifically, but it's probably in a similar location, somewhat protected from the elements. Honestly, unless you're comfortable with car electrics, I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop. It could save you a lot of time and frustration in the long run. My issue was diagnosed by a technician, and it turned out to be a bad connection to the module. So, before you replace anything, get a proper diagnosis.

I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a defective servomotor in the headlight unit. The whole repair, including parts and labor, set me back around 1040€. Quite a hefty sum, but at least the headlight malfunction is sorted now and the auto-leveling is working again. Thanks again for your help!
