If I clear them, they come back. A few days ago my headlights were pointed at the ground. The next day they were pointed very high. They are still high, but atleast I can still see

I just replaced the sensor and nothing changed!

Please advise???

Assuming the sensor is fine, have you checked its wiring, connectors and installation yet?

[staulkor]

Yea, I checked the connector and it looks fine. No damage and its plugged in all the way. I replaced the sensor with a brand new one and the codes wont go away :/

Have you had any Suspension maintennance, or changes?

If so, the leveling arm may hve been re-installed incorrectly.

[staulkor]

They are both pointing away from the car.

[Theresias]

You don't check wiring and connectors just by looking at them. Grab a multimeter and perform proper testing. You also didn't answer the question if there had been suspension work done.

[staulkor]

Yes, different coils swapped on. We disconnected the sensors from the control arms.

And by check wires, I thought you meant just visual check Ill grab my multimeter and bentley manual.

Please read this, and cruise the MKV Forums for more information.

Both the front and rear sensors are pointed in the correct direction. Away from the car towards the driver door. Codes still remain and they cant be cleared. If I remember correctly, the measuring blocks say the front sensor is ~18% while the rear is a 0.0% since it doesnt see it.

I haven't tested the wiring with a multimeter yet. I plan on doing that tomorrow afternoon.

Any solution for this issue? Was it wire harness issue?

Open or Short tu PLUS is usually when is not connected correct.
