hi all, just wondered how many of you omega owners have had "low beam fld vision" in your check control displays and what it took to correct it ? i have this messgae on my cdx vectra, headlights work fine, the go up and down aswell, however if im parked still at night a can see both lights make adjustments for no reason, im told that this is a generic ecu response and can mean auto leveling has failed, bulb on the way out or ballast on the way out. i checked the levelling sensor on the front wishnbone today and thought i had cracked it but not so sure...the arm that links to the two small ball joints was very loose at one end and i could just slide it right of the ball joint but to be fair it wasnt hanging of in the first place so unsure if this is at fault or not. the rear sensor seems nice and tight. any input appreciated
cheers

Welcome to the forum
A proper code reader will tell you specifically what the car is complaining about. A common fault on an Omega with this fault message, is a faulty front wish bone sensor.
-
Either faulty wishbone sensors, faulty lift motors, or (as in my case on the Elite Estate), a broken wire in loom between front sensor & lift motor. ;)
And welcome to the forum mate :y

thanks for replys, theres a guy who has tech 2 and is going to plug it in for me for £20. tell me is there someone on here who offers a tech 2 service? its something i come across when googling this issue but the mention of the tech 2 service was on the old omega owners website...
cheers

had the car plugged into tech 2 earlier and come back with this
B1424 - NOT PRESENT, LOW BEAM SIGNAL VOLTAGE TO LOW
B3410 - FRONT CAR LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE OUT OF RANGE
the voltage coming from the front level sensor was only 0.1 volts where the rear level sensor was showing around 2.7 volts. So we are assuming that the front level sensor is at fault.

Was the B3410 PRESENT or NOT PRESENT?
I assume the fact you have warning, it was PRESENT, esp given the live data reading.
Check the front sensor hasn't popped off (similar setup to omega, sensor mounted to subframe, with a ball jointed rod connecting to wishbone)

cant think...it just said front car level sensor signal voltage out of range, it was only showing 0.1 volts though. I have allready checked the sensor, it was all still in one piece
-
..... the sensor, it was all still in one piece
So was mine when I had the same message, the sensor was goosed though. A 'new' sensor solved the problem. :y
-
Hi again all, right we replaced the front wishbone sensor with a new one with fingers crossed it would solve this...Nope! Warning still on the display, got it plugged back in and the original 2 fault codes which pointed to the sensor are gone and now i have this code: B1001 - controller does not calibrate. (leftside)
anyone know what to do next?
cheers.
-
when any of you replaced the level sensor on your omegas did you need to have any programming done?

No, just replace sensor and job done :y
-
hmmm, oh well somethings up with the leftside light now, self levelling lights, what a pain in the arse >:(
-
sorted, car plugged into tech 2 and headlights re callibrated / re programmed, error message now gone.
