V50 Electrics : - Calibrating HCM in Vida

V50R08 · Jul 20th, 2023, 14:02

Hi!
Can anyone with a Vida and Dice confirm how the HCM position sensor calibration should look like?
When I click "Calibration of position sensor", I immediately get a pop-up saying "Calibration executed", with start and exit buttons below. Clicking start doesn't change anything at all. Is this how it should be? I can't find any posts/videos of this procedure online.

Any and all help is appreciated!
Thanks!

It’s the headlight control module. In my case I have the ABL (Active Bending Lights) xenons on my 08 v50 and after a series of events, they are pointing too low. But before you manually adjust them (of course the manual adjusters are broken) you should do it in vida. But im not sure if its working.

is your headlight leveling motor working when the lights are turned on they should move up and down to calibrate the lights and compensate for any load level differences its not un common for these to fail .park against a wall to view if they are working. i can check ours with vida tomorrow .to find out

Yes thats working. It does the little side to side, down and up dance. Also no fault codes about that.
