Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Each headlamp assembly contains a headlamp leveling actuator that is controlled by the headlamp leveling switch. The headlamp leveling switch is supplied with ignition voltage and ground and contains a resistor ladder with 4 positions for adjusting the headlamps up or down. When the headlamp leveling switch is activated to the desired position, voltage from the B+ ignition circuit is pulled down through the resistor ladder and the voltage is applied to the left and right headlamp leveling actuators via the headlamp leveling control circuit. The headlamp leveling actuators are supplied with B+ and ground. When the headlamp leveling switch is activated, the left and right headlamp leveling actuators respond by moving the headlamps to the desired position.
