Headlight leveling light & headlights pointed at ground
 
My idiot light for my headlights came on yesterday. The lights are now pointed about 6 feet in front of the car, making night driving a fun adventure. Does anyone have any suggestions about why this would happen? This has happened before, but the lights "fixed" themselves somehow. I would rather prefer to not have to rip apart the headlights and rebuild anything, but I have got to get this fixed.

Help!

there are leveling sensors on the suspension front and rear. if they are damaged or dirty or your suspension is screwed up this will happen

Checked leveling sensors, all springs bright and shiny. Suspension looked fine, nothing bent or twisted. I reset the PCM and the lights came back up, but I still have the MIL on the dash. Any ideas?

Where would I be able to find that out? I went to Autozone to have them pull the code, the machine said that there were no error codes, but the light was still on on the dash.

well then their scanner either isnt can and obd II or its rubbish. find another- plenty of helpful chicago members- or have a dealer pull the code

No check engine light,and the dealership said today when I stopped on that there were no error codes stored in the PCM,even though the light was lit when their scanner was plugged in. I wonder what could be wrong.

well I dont have a shop manual to look at right now but im pretty sure if it was looked up it would say either clean or repair the sensors/connectors/harness

no suspension changes?

Other than RB sway bars it's all factory. I am going to get a multimeter and see if one of the sensors has gone bad,after than it looks like I will have to start checking the wiring.

Any other suggestions?
