RX8 - 231 - Headlight AutoLeveling Malfuncation Indicator Light
 

Hello,

I often get the Headlight AutoLeveling Malfuncation Indicator Light coming on my dashboard and when the main dealers looked into this they suggested replacing both the front and rear sensors on the car at around 300 - 400 pound each!!

Is their anyway I can manually adjust these or do anything to take this light from coming up on my dashboard?

Thanks

There is a DIY to repair them on here somewhere......might want to check the wiring and move them around a bit to see if they are just gummed up a bit

I've looked on here for the DIY section for them but can't find them....

I can only find reference to the mazda technical bulletin for the new connector to fix the weather proofness of them...

I'd be very gratful if someone could post the link to this DIY repair for them...

Many Thanks guys

if not i have replacement used ones, lmk

please will you pm with price for them and shipping to uk please :o)

You don't happen to also have a spare air pump?

Thanks

Okay so i can now get hold of some second hand sensors but was wondering how easily these are to replace and does anyone have a diy for it??

I read that this is a common problem on the 04s... more often than not, my light is on also.
Do your lights seem to be aimed improperly? Or are you just getting a light?

I wouldn't spend the money to replace faulty senors even when the mechanisms are operating fine. just my stance though. Some people really hate any lights on their dash. Mine compliments my flashing TPMS light.

I had issues with my sensors... they were corroded pretty bad.
This caused my headlights to constantly want to aim down (which is scary when you're driving 70MPH and can only see 10ft in front of you).
At the beginning they would aim too high and everyone thought I had my brights on (to which I really turned them on to show them those were my lows).

My sensor was so corroded and couldn't just be "repair" so Mazda ordered me new sensors (luckily under warranty).
The TSB states that if the sensor isn't damaged, to seal with waterproof urethane sealer between the harness and the connector.

I just removed the auto leveler sensors & mechanism in my 04, now I just need to pull the dash bulb when I get the chance.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but is there a way to just remove the sensors and the dash warning light without having to remove the bulb? I could delete the light with my COBB, but I would rather not do it that way for now.

The sensors can be purchased separately at Parts Geek for $59 each.
