In the following cases, no DTC entry is stored in Headlamp Range Control Module (J431) :

when vehicle level sensors are not installed as specified in the Repair Information

in vehicles with a modified axle geometry (for instance, lowered vehicles).

If the values of the level control system sensors are outside the tolerance range, a basic setting of the headlamps cannot be performed.
