  3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
    • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
    • If the terminals are OK, go to step  4.
  4. Reconnect the connector to the headlight leveling motor, and do these input tests at the connector.
    • If any tests indicate a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
    • If all the input tests prove OK, replace the headlight leveling motor (see HEADLIGHT LEVELING MOTOR REPLACEMENT  ).
