Fault Reported By Customer: "Large Sweep And Then Nothing"
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 37 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, 2005 BMW 330xi, and 2005 BMW 330i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If terminal 15 is switched ON and the headlights move through a large sweep and then remain in the straight-ahead position, the signal from the zero-position sensor is not being received.
If the zero-position sensor fails, the position of the headlights is determined via a mechanical reference point as follows: The swivel module moves as far as the permitted mechanical end stop (= "large sweep") and then into the straight-ahead position. The turning movement of the adaptive headlights is then deactivated (= "and then nothing").
