Title: Low Beam FLD/Vision
Post by: svekolkin on 29 June 2008, 10:17:21

My Omega 2.2 is showing a "check" item on the dash display. It reads "Low Beam FLD/Vision". The handbook does not show this specific item so could someone please explain what it means? If anyone is interested in results of my LPG conversion, please contact and I will try to answer. Thanks.

Sounds like the auto self levers on the HID lights is FUBAR'd

Check on the N/S ( I Think) front and rear wish bones for a small plastic arm thats poped off a ball joint - There are a few pics floating round that should help

had this on myn. There is a sensor on the left wishbone (the problem on myn) and another on the opposite rear i believe(not layed eyes on this one as not had a problem with it) they sense the level of the car and allow your zenon head lights to work out the range, they default to shortest beam if there is a problem so you do not blind everyone.

There is an arm connected to the wishbone via 2 rose joints and a little rod, the problem is the arm(with a magnet in) has popped out of the switch over a bump. Try packing with grease and push firmly back in. But you may find as i did that it just falls back off again.
Switch with arm was about 45 sobs and
And 5 for the connecting rod.
Hope helps

I get this periodically appearing on mine, so I got TB  to plug in his box of tricks and exercise the levelling motors to free them off and redistribute the grease inside them.
Its the next step after checking the sensors are fine and free moving.
The final step being to read the fault codes and replace the offending bit of the system (OS headlight servo in my case)

I also had this on my 2.2 sensors were ok so i changed the servo motor on the back of the headlight, now both sides work.

Check the sensor as well. Most of the time it’s just a ball joint but many times it is dirt in the sensor. It’s easy to open, clean and save £50
