V50 Headlight Level Sensor [Headlamp Failure Service Required] Volvo VIDA Code Reading – V70 S40 C30



V50 Headlight Level Sensor [Headlamp Failure Service Required] Volvo VIDA Code Reading – V70 S40 C30

👉 Here’s the guy on Ebay selling the same kit as I used in this video: https://ebay.us/Qgh5qu

👉 And if you want to try and get a copy of Vida yourself, this is the DiCE cable you would need: https://ebay.us/GwJ4X3

I’d recommend going with the laptop and cable with Vida pre-installed. Prior to pulling the trigger on that I did plenty of reading around about how to get it set up myself.

At which point I realised that it would likely be a considerable hassle and involve taking a punt on a very expensive cable anyway.

If you’re braver than I, however, many people have successfully used those DiCE cable clones and managed to install a version of Vida themselves to get the same result.

In this video, I fix a „Headlamp Failure Service Required” warning that was appearing on the dashboard of my 2011 Volvo V50 car.

Having looked up the issue and finding out that it could be due to a variety of things on the car, such as a failed headlamp, or headlamp level sensors front or rear, I decided to avoid stabbing in the dark and get set up with proper OBD2 fault code reading equipment.

Not to mention my Volvo V50 is a high mileage daily driver that I’m trying to keep going on the cheap, I can see the Vida setup coming in very handy for me and it’ll probably save me a fortune in the long run.

Having got my hands on Vida, it almost immediately revealed that the problem with my V50 was actually the front axle sensor. Code „HCM-B104312 Front Axle Sensor – General Electrical Failures – Circuit short to battery” to be precise.

With that, I ordered up a new, used but known-working part to throw on. This seems to be the end of my problems with the headlight level issues with this car.

Hopefully, this video will help those people with the same Headlamp Failure Service Required warning on their car. I believe it should also apply for Volvo C30, S40, V70 and so on.

  1. How are you? I’m from Brazil and I’d like to buy this cable. I saw you link from eBay, but it’s not working. Could you help me? I don’t know witch cable can be used In my car. Volvo v50 t5 2010. Thanks so much, and congratulations for your video!

  2. Thanks for the video. I have a 2016 XC 90 and I have been getting suspension service required messages as well as the headlamp message – although the headlamp one comes and goes. I brought it to a dealer and they said it was the right front sensor for the suspension that was faulty. I am hoping that once that is replaced, the headlamp warning will go away as well.

  3. Can you check your power values on the level sensors? Vida says it should be between 2-5V on each of them when car is in absolute level. I have 2.0V on the front and only about 1 V on the back sensor.
