Omega General Help / Can auto headlamp leveling system be converted to a manual leveling system?

« on: 29 October 2013, 22:16:49 »

Hi everyone,

Further to my post on 'headlamp leveling problem' is it possible to get rid of the auto leveling system and change it to a manual leveling system?

Gas headlamps in an Opel Omega 2.2DTI, 2001, facelift.

Thanks

Michael

Once again, thanks for all the replies. As I have changed all the parts, 2 sensors (front and back), 2 leveling motors, and leveling ecu, I will try to check the wiring.

As a matter of interest, is it possible to convert this auto lamp leveling system to a manual leveling system?

Thanks for all the replies.

Does anyone know if the 3 wires from each sensor go directly to the motors or to the leveling ecu under the front wing?

Or does anyone have a wiring diagram of the headlamp leveling system? If I had that I could create some loops on the wire ends to check for continuity.. or something like that!!

Thanks again..

Hi tunnie,

Yes replaced front and rear sensor. Also replaced both motors in the headlamps and the headlamp leveling ecu under the front offside wing. All parts were second hand but guaranteed to be working.

Hi tunnie,
Thanks for your reply. Yes they are attached. I spent quite a bit of time removing the old ones and putting the replacement bits on today. I did make sure all were attached properly. It did seem to work for about 5 mins after I changed all the parts (No error showed on dash) then problem returned.

Hi all,

Opel Omega, 2.2 DTI, 2001, Elegance, facelift....
I had been reading up on the self-leveling problem and eventually purchased 2 headlamp motors, 2 senors and the headlamp leveling ecu, all second hand. I installed them today and for about 5 minutes all seemed to have been fixed. then the 'low field vision' error returned. Is there anything else I can do myself. I fear the cost of taking it to a main dealer as I will probably have to get a mortgage to pay them for the diagnosis and repairs.

Thanks
Michael

Just registered on the forum. I have been using the advice posted here for a while now. Its been very useful. I own an Opel Omega 2.2 DTI Facelift Elegance. 2001. Nice car but few bits and pieces going wrong on it these days. I suppose its to be expected on a 12 year old car.
