Healight issue part 2!

Hi everyone!

Hoping everyone is well over here!

I’m having some trouble with my headlights. Getting an error Intelligent light system inoperative as well as right corner light. But all lights work fine!

Also where is the distributor motor located for me to check it out?




These are the codes i’m getting. Any idea what should i look for first?

Ah, light distribution actuator motor.... The communication error likely is the.real issue. That could be a wiring problem.

... and before just replacing that module, I would closely visually inspect the wiring to it and the lamps as well as the connectors on all of them to ensure its all clean and not damaged.

An update .

Whenever i start the car both headlights move in different directions but the left one stays a bit up high.

2) Whenever i try to manually move the headlamps inside the left they do move from my Autel Device

3) Whenever i turn on the car there is this weird motor like stuck sound from the left headlight

4) Highbeam is not available on the left side
