Default What is the code? Does it relate to the level sensor or control module or adjusting motor?

Default 3 codes

first in the Headlamp vert aim control sys
00776: Level control system sensor, left front -g78: open/short circuit to ground

then in the self leveling suspension
01771 Control Module for Vertical Headlight Aim Control System - J431:check DTC Memory

and a third that I am not sure if it is related except the code is the same as the first, also in the suspension module:
00776: Level Control System Sensor, Left Front - G78, electrical fault in circuit.

oh, and all of these began as I started cleaning my car for the car show last weekend and had sprayed down the engine compartment. I think I got some water in a sensor. :-(

Default Hmmm. thanks. I'll pull the wheel and check it out.

I know I wiped a bunch of gunk off that sensor when I cleaned the car. wonder if I didnt pull something loose.

Default Ha... wrote you an e-mail, got called away to the phone and then sent the

message without checking back here first. Sounds like your issue might be different than what I experienced.

Default You Rock! that was it. while measuring the airspring for Paul, I checked that sensor

and sure enough the plug had come a little loose. I plugged it back in, and then turned on the car - no more fault lights!

thanks.

Glad to hear this. Don't forget to clear the fault codes.
