Headlight autoleveling module location

Hi,

The autoleveling on my CLS has stopped working on both sides and after reading this forum this may be caused by a defective autoleveling sensor. I have just not been able to find the location of this module.

Could someone point me in the right direction please? There are a number of replacement modules i can buy but wanted to check first if it is the right type

Thanks!

Best I could do, EPC diagram. Consider checking axle sensors first, easily damaged.

Thanks, really appreciated. Will have a look tomorrow. Would you think the level sensor is indeed at fault here as both headlights are pointing downwards?

Pulling codes should detect malfunctioning CU, level sensors, and range adjustment modules @ each headlamp. Steadfast on not pulling codes and replacing parts begin with level sensor inspections, move on to CU. Odd that both headlamp modules, and internal motors and/or more than one level sensor will malfunction simultaneously but warrants inspection. In addition, if you have not already done so, check f52 @ front SAM (engine compartment) for CU, f66 for headlamps.

I checked the fuses and they are ok. No error codes with MAxiECU program i have. Have tried to find the CU under the passenger seat but cannot seem to locate it. FRom the diagram it should be there right?

Thanks!

Wow, looks like a project on its own to replace that control unit if i have to take the seat out! And it needs a STAR recalibration? Hmmm, i'd better go to an indy to have this checked i guess...
