Headlight Failure Service Required
My XC60 MY11 is showing a warning message stating "Headlight Failure Service Required". An orange warning light also is displayed, indicating a malfunction of the ABL system. The lights work correctly in all other respects.
Does anyone have any experience of this fault. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

had this on the last XC60 and the temporary cure was to disable the bending of the headlights until a fix could be done. You get to this through the menu structure (can recall where)
the permanent fix was for the sensors on the rear wheels to be replaced - the fault had something to do with sensor not seeing the difference is wheel speed rotation therefore it dont know how much to bend the headlights. IIRC the load sensor was also faulty which meant the auto-levelling was was malfunctioning and this also affect the ABL unit as that is what provides the autolevelling. You need to get the codes read to see exactly which module is at fault.

I had a look through the menus but couldn't find an option to disable the ABL but I'll look again.

I found the menu item to disable the ABL but the check mark reappears immediately after it has been set to be inactive, i.e. it will not deactivate. I recall now that the Sensus system was misbehaving as it was not showing the cabin temperature settings on the journey before the ABL error appeared. The temperature readings did return on restarting the engine, when the ABL fault first became apparent, so perhaps the ABL fault only needs a harder reboot of the system. (Wishful thinking)

I think that does sound a worth shot as I suspect the software. Will I need a radio code after reconnecting though?
