I now see the issue.. I see some bracket hanging down by the rear drivers side wheel... I am pretty sure thats it. Wonder is CPO will cover this. We shall find out tomorrow. Thanks Ptech!!
CPO will probably cover it unless you have modified your suspension. If you have then most likely it won't be covered.
You can force the headlights to run an auto-level cycle. With the key off, turn the headlight switch all the way on, then cycle the key to the auxiliary position (the one before the car starts that lights up all the warning lights). The headlights will drop down and then lift up and auto-level. My 997.1 lights only do this when I run the test, not each time I turn them on.
Thanks for posting this. Following this procedure, I confirmed that my PDSL lights are operating fine.
FWIW - Earlier this year I had a "PDLS Failure - visit workshop" error that was cleared by my Indy. I was concerned that while the error message was gone, my light were not "dynamic". Apparently not the case.
Wanted to revive this thread as I had he same issue when I lowered my car. I found that I broke the same bracket pictured above, but on the front. I had no idea it was so important when it broke so I just ignored it. The bracket is attached to the trailing arm and connects to the leveling sensor via a little tie rod looking thing.
When I installed my RSS suspension bits, the used set of LCAs I bought didn't come with their bracket. I just made one out of aluminum angle iron, which also let me bend it a little to fine tune the level of the lights that's maintained.
My headlights are not self-leveling (tried the test), but I'm not getting an fault. The front leveling arm was broken when I bought the car, which I have since replaced. Is it possible that a PO reprogrammed the car to turn this feature off instead of fixing the issues?
