Autolevel headlight malfunction light

This light just turned on after doing some suspension work on my rear driver's side strut. It is a grand touring model and I have no real idea why it set off. The light never came on before doing the work. Any suggestions?

Hmm, is it me or is the bar connecting to the sensor installed upside down?

Hmm maybe your frontend is in the dirt, the *** end facing north..way north.

Here is my new install, is it supposed to be so tight that it doesn't move? I did a quick install and it felt a little loose.

The bar should move so that it senses the level of the car. If you need to replace it. Go with a used one. It saved me about $600. I had to replace my front one.
