other than my omega i have a vectra b gsi 2,6 have a problem with the xenons left hand one keeps coming up about the leveler, went into my "My Naff Code Reader" and its telling me the ecu needs calibrating is this the ecu on the headlamp itself or the main engine ecu i noticed a unit under the headlamp tryed calibrating it kept coming up saying warning wrong condition can anyone help me with this please as its doing my head in thanks :o
-
DONT use "My Naff Code Reader" to calibrate, your lights will never point in the right direction again.
it is the headlamp ecu its talking about.
does it allow you to excercise the motors? do they both respond? (make the lights go up and down)
-
hello jimbob yes the motors both go up and down on headlamps ok when i do a test on them when i go into fault codes it says the ecu needs calibrating lefthand headlamp it wouldnt be the main engine ecu would it is there one on the xenon headlights jimbo can you enlighten me sorry dont now alot about xenons
-
Right....lets go back a step...
Your lights both come on.
They both go up and down as they should
You have no error message on your MID in day to day use/
The only issue is "My Naff Code Reader" is complaining.....IGNORE it, its flaky chinese copy of software, it doesnt work properly on cloned hardware.
Put it out your mind and just use it for code reading and resetting, NEVER programming :y
You may find if you tell "My Naff Code Reader" your car is a year older / newer than it is, the ecu will be quite happy :y
-
jimbob a fault comes on mid saying FL/LEVELER when i go into fault codes it says the ecu needs calibrating not present
-
what year is your car? and what year are you telling "My Naff Code Reader"
-
the car is late 2002 abut a 51 plate and its 51 i go into on "My Naff Code Reader"
-
i too have a late 52 plate....."My Naff Code Reader" barely talks to anything, until I tell it it is a 2001 model. Id try a couple of years and see if you get different results.
Have you checked the arms on the front wishbones and trailing arms are properly attached, thats the normal cause of this (given your lights do actually move, youve proved the ecu is communicating with them and the motors both work - which only leaves the sensors / wiring)
-
ok jimbo i will try that, trouble is its telling me its not calibrated untill that is done i dont think i am going to get any joy thanks for your help
-

you may be suprised, "My Naff Code Reader" has some very strange ways.
-
another thing also the vectra b finished in 2002 and vectra c was built so i dont think i can go any further than that as it wont show my engine size
-
go earlier then, try any year...
I kmnow it can work as ive played with xenons on a 51 vectra cdx before now...
and what version of "My Naff Code Reader" are you using?
