Hi, I have a 2008 Qashqi Acenta .

The headlights used to turn on when it got dark (in the AUTO position) , or, when driving out of my garage would come on until it got into daylight.

However, they stay on in the AUTO position, and sidelights in the SIDELIGHTS position, and are on in the HEADLIGHT position. They will turn off in the OFF position

Any ideas please ?

The J10 AUTO system looks like the diagram below and the operating conditions are described: (BCM = Body Control Module). Perhaps you have a sensing problem?

AUTO LIGHT FUNCTION
• BCM detects the combination switch condition with the combination switch reading function.
• BCM detects the engine condition by the engine status signal received from ECM with CAN communication.
• BCM receives the light sensor signal [outside brightness and the light & rain sensor condition] from light & rain sensor with the light & rain sensor serial link.

• BCM judges ON/OFF condition of the exterior lamps according to the outside brightness and the vehicle condition.
• BCM transmits each request signal to IPDM E/R with CAN communication according to ON/OFF condition by the auto light function.
