Default No Jack mode, adaptive lights error

Adaptive headlight error light is on and Jack mode doesn't work.
I'm doing the vcds test and the suspension calibration works. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/levelcontrol.html

though this is the latest fault.


Headlight testing only is letting the passenger light aim go up and down.

Voltage and values looked ok for ride height sensors.

Are these two separate issues or are they of the same sort? Jack mode greyed out
Adaptive lights and ride height

Those two are related, most likely. Someone who knows more about the suspension codes may be able to point you to what that code means, I don't recall anything about that particular one.

It appears the adaptation didn't take, do it again. (If I interpret correctly you changed adaptation, right?). Either way, do the adaptation. It took me about five tries the first time.
The level control have any old codes? Look at your saved scans (from before clearing codes) to see if there were level control or headlight range codes and how many times they recurred..
One light's level control not working is probably wiring/connector issue or the motor has worn out.
My theories only, but HTH.

What do you mean with "suspension calibration works"?

Thanks. Yeah seems like it could be independent problems. Car got switched on while on stands in front and I heard the light try to adjust. May have gone out of whack?
The suspension tests seemed to go through all 4 corners ok with the height settings and the lifting and lowering tests.
I'll check my previous codes, too.
Maybe I can run them again tonight and see what happens.

Default Solved

Solved!
I just had to be patient during the testing. I must have missed hitting save on one of the wheels. And then had to do it again for the confirmation to come up.
level sensor and headlights code cleared!
Thanks all.
