Unfortunately it could be one of many things. First thing I'd check is the level sensor on the suspension arm. Has it become detached? Check the electrical connector for corrosion. Use your scan tool and go into the suspension module and check the sensors within that if you can. Assuming all those are okay, then most likely the motor itself, which I'm assuming is inside the headlight unit, like the D2 one. Check the connectors on that for corrosion. Again, use your scan tool and check the lights module and again try the output tests.
