Adaptive headlights malfunction
Hello everyone
Im having this issue with my left headlight The xeno and the signal works fine but the led or angel eyes whatever they call it doesn’t,car never been in a accident and since its a 2017 I doubt the led can actually failed,car has 90000miles so not that much I took this different mechanic and everybody’s was saying to replace the module for it …I replaced it this morning i took the old one out and put the new one in but nothing still same code and the led wasnt working..not sure on what to do now as the dealer said he want a 199$ dollar for a diagnostic and if they dont find nothing it would go up to 1200$ FOR A DIAGNOSTIC..insane Is any program like bimmercode or like any instrument that i can use to find whats going on? Like what part is broken? Or if theres something i can try like fuses (i dont know where those are for the lights ) or whatever you guys have had a experience with? Thank you guys!!! |

Got the same fault shortly after bringing home the wife's new-to-us 2018 F15. The fault displayed several times - usually clearing with an engine restart.
Disconnected the Adaptive Headlight Controller cable in the back of each headlight assembly. Sprayed the connections down with CRC QD Electronics Aerosol Cleaner. Allowed to dry & reassembled. Faults did not return - this has been over two years ago, now. |

My code is permanent doesn’t go away…
Should i use bimmerlink or bimmercode or a scan tool? I feel its a little dangerous to spray solutions on the connectors |

It's not dangerous to spray CRC electronics cleaner into connections. IF YOU LET IT DRY. I use it all the time to clean circuit boards and connectors. Amazing stuff.

I have a 2017 and had a similar warning, but all the lights still worked, but the adaptive part didn’t work. There was a small wiring harness with three green wires that I think went into the motor. One green wire was broken and I had to solder it back.

Update:
I switched the headlight that is not working (driver side ) to the passenger side and the leds lights work perfectly but when i put it back on the driver side its not working again (works only xenon high beams and signal ) Probably 99.9% it a wiring problem,anybody’s has a idea on what I should look for or has a idea on what’s going on? Thank you! |
