S-Type 2.7D Xenon Levelling Problem.

[mrmike]

I have an intermittent problem with the Headlight Auto levelling system. Every month or 2,  I see the Headlights are not doing their dance.

I connect my OBD analyser and it says basically "Impossible position of front sensor" I reset the DTC and it is fine again for a fair period.

I looked at the sensor but I can't see how the connector can be removed to clean the contacts. Given the age of the plastic I am always wary

of breaking part of whatever clip system is used. I've already done it! 

Anyone know how the connector comes out?

on both sides on the connector theres two tabs, just squeeze sides, squeeze the widest sides and pull

will be a dodgy sensor had to replace the front one on mine

OK Joe,

Looks good to me, I've already busted 1 connector, on the DCCV, I used a tiewrap to keep it together now. I tried With some

long nose pliers but It didn't seem to budge. Obviously not enough pressure.

I've, ordered some brake pads so while I do those I will check the sensor, resistance wise and if it seems OK, just clean the contacts

and put it back together.

Thanks for the info.
