Bixenon Headlights auto-adjustment problem

Featured Replies

Hello,

I'm asking for your help because I've run out of ideas and am starting to lose hope...

Recently, I've been driving my Škoda more often at night, and I've been getting countless "flashes" from oncoming drivers. I decided to investigate the issue because the headlights were not lowering their beam when the boot was loaded.

Here is the situation:

  1. The headlights perform their self-test when the car is started (right, left, down, up).

  2. The headlight motor tests are completed without any problems – the motors move the light beams both up and down.

  3. Basic Settings for the headlights have been performed, and there are no fault codes. The sensor reading is 46%.

  4. When I load the boot, the sensor reading drops to 41%, when two people inside it is 42%, and go back to 46% when empty....

Unfortunately, the light beam moves upwards, and no downward correction takes place. :(

I'd also like to mention that the system was working correctly 6 years ago when I bought the car, and I was really impressed with it at the time.

Two years ago, I was involved in an accident. The car was repaired at an authorised Škoda service centre, and both headlights were replaced with brand-new genuine units.

Additionally, I've noticed that I cannot enable the DYNAMIC CORNERING LIGHTS option in the car's infotainment settings. It switches itself off again after a few seconds.

I would really appreciate any help, suggestions or advice you could offer. I'm running out of ideas and would be grateful for any pointers.

Thank you in advance!
