Automatic head light leveling system warning light

[mmirman]

I have Prius 2005 with about 46K miles.
I started getting the warning light come on, and on the screen I get :Problem" and the symbol meaning -- according to the manual -- head light leveling system warning. It usually goes away after a while, but lately it often stays on longer and comes on more often than in the past.
The manual says, take it to the dealer.
I actually did not look at the manual before taking the car to the dealer, so I only told them I had had the red triangle with the "Problem" message on the screen.
At the time I took the car to the dealer the message was not there. They did not find anything.
Can anyone suggest anything?

I think the auto-levelling sensors on the rear suspension are going bad.
You just have to bring it to the dealer when the warning shows up.
Or simply tell them to check specifically the levelling sensors.

Is this a newsworthy event that warrants being posted in the "Prius and Hybrid News" forum ???

Keith,




I think a simple

would have sufficed.


Yeah I noticed the moderators are a little slow in here at catching OT/wrong category threads.
