B8 Adaptive Headlight Fault? Disable/Code Out

[shaz]

Hey guys, not been on here for a while,

However I’m hoping a fellow Audi nut can help.

My B8 RS4 has the adaptive headlamp fault on the dash, lights work fine.

Seen online that they can be disabled / coded out - I have access to a Autel diag - can anyone point me in the right direction please on how to disable this so the warning doesn’t show on the dash.

Thanks in advance guys!

Until you know what the fault is, there's no point coding anything, log the car to see what it says, could be a level sensor on an axle.

Are you sure the adaptive bulb hasn't blown? That is normally the reason for the error message.

Thanks guy. I will be be getting it scanned at local garage tomorrow.

Il share my findings.

Just getting into the b8 ownership - there’ll be plenty of my “how to” posts coming

Hi guys, got the car scanned came up with “Left stationary AFS - open circuit”

Any ideas what this relates to?

It was cleared and hasn’t come on - yet!

Have you checked the bulb, it's not the same as the headlight main/dip beam.

The turning light bulb is blown (hence open circuit). It’s located on the radiator grille side of the headlamp and points across the front of the headlight. Neither will work until you replace the bulb and clear the code. Probably best to change them both as the other may also be on the way out.
