The Headlamp Leveling Module or HID Translator Module is the remote electronic sub-component of the headlamp leveling system. The HID translator module is used to translate communication of the headlamps leveling system. The sensors communicate over a K-Line to the headlamp stepper motors, then to the translator module. To enable the scan tool to read system inputs and outputs, and to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's), the translator module must convert this K-Line data into Controller Area Network (CAN) data.

The HID translator module is located inside the right front engine compartment, just behind the headlamp unit. It is mounted to a stamped steel bracket by one fastener and has one electrical connector that connects it to the wiring harness.
