Customer Complaint: "Large Sweep And Then Nothing"

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 46 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW M5, 2008 BMW 650i, 2007 BMW Z4, 2007 BMW M6, and 2007 BMW M5. 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 position sensor is not being received.

If the position sensor fails, the position of the headlights can be measured via a mechanical reference point as follows: The positioner module moves as far as the permitted mechanical end stop (= "large sweep") and then into the straight-ahead position. The adaptive headlight function is then deactivated for the headlight concerned (= "and then nothing else").
