Afs Headlight Calibration Following Battery Disconnect

[BillNick]

Hi all,

I disconnected and reconnected my Battery today to perform some electrical work.

My car has AFS self adjusting headlights. I have noticed the first drive since disconnecting and reconnecting the Battery that the beam patterns from each light do not line up like they did beforehand. One beam is higher than the other and it feels like the left to right alignment is also skewed.

My car was parked on a cambered road leaning into the gully with the steering wheel not 100% straight when I disconnected and reconnected the Battery. Do you think that has fooled the car and messed up the calibration of the headlights?

Any ideas how to recalibrate?

Perhaps parking on level ground with the steering wheel straight and taking off the Battery once again would cure the problem?

Help appreciated.

Any other checks or do's and dont's when disconnecting the Battery are also appreciated.

Thanks

Billy

When you switch your car on and turn the lights on can you see them levelling? Just to prove the motors are ok

Better to do it in the dark as its easier to spot.

If so, it may be as you said but thinking about it , they would level out every time you turn the lights on.... check the motors by turning the lights on in the dark and watch to see if the the beams move. At least you can discount any issues with the motors if they are fine.

Remember to reset the windows as well.

Windows done.

I have since been for another drive in the dark and beams were still off.

Ill try the Battery removal again on my in-laws driveway which is completely flat.

Fingers crossed, don't fancy a trip to main dealer......
