Troubleshooting on the Litronic Headlight




Troubleshooting on Litronic headlight (dipped beam)

WARNING
Warning signs (yellow triangle with black high-voltage arrow) indicate high voltage (danger to life)
.


- The light should always be switched off when the components (control module, ignition unit, gas discharge lamp, drive motor) are removed and installed. A removed headlight does not have a high voltage.
- The gas discharge lamp (D2S lamp) should only be operated when installed in the reflector and in the installed headlight.


NOTE: For a faulty dipped beam headlight, the individual components (gas discharge lamp, ignition unit, control module) can be replaced from the second headlight. Only the battery voltage can be checked with the headlight removed on the plug connection (to Pin 9 = 56 b and Pin 4 = 31 according to the wiring diagram) in the wing. The gas discharge lamp should only be operated when installed in the reflector and in the installed headlight.
