Seeing the “Front High Beam Fault Malfunction” on your Lync & Co. 01 for the first time, and don’t know what to do? There’s no need to panic – although it can be alarming to see the warning error on your dashboard, especially if you’ve never seen it before. 

To understand the error, it’s crucial to learn about the specifications of your vehicle. The Lync. & Co. 01 is a compact plug-in hybrid SUV equipped with high-performance LED headlights that offer both dipped and high-beam light functions. This helps ensure driver safety and traffic compliance, providing drivers with advanced technology and exceptional performance.

In this guide, we’ll help you understand what the warning error means, potential symptoms, and what you need to do for your peace of mind. 

What Does the Warning Message “Front High Beam Fault” Mean?

The warning error, “Front High Beam Fault,” indicates a malfunctioning LED headlight module that may render either side of the headlight inoperable. This means that either side, left or right, will not work because of the malfunctioning unit on either side. 

Malfunctioning high beams can lead to traffic violations, as per the Highway Code, which states that drivers must use high beam headlights only on unlit roads at night or when there is no other traffic ahead or approaching. This aims to support the clause, “use any lights in a way which would dazzle or cause discomfort to other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders.”

Reason Behind “Front High Beam Fault” Failure 

The warning message “Front High Beam Fault” typically occurs due to a defective LED module, as they are highly susceptible to losing their functionality due to lumen depreciation. This is a common occurrence in which a light source loses its potential and gradually fades over time. This is one of the most common reasons for high beam failure, other than the typical burnt-out bulb, external damage, or moisture ingress. 

Common Symptoms of Front High Beam Fault Malfunction

Some side effects your Lynk & Co. 01 may experience are: 

  • Either one or both of the defective high beam LED lights won’t work. 
  • Both of the affected low-dipped beam lights also have the potential to fail. 
  • Other interconnected lighting components may also stop working as they are controlled under one LED module. 

How To Fix The Issue

You can remove the “Front High Beam Fault” from your dashboard in two easy steps: 

  • Step 1: Firstly, you need to purchase a new LED module that perfectly aligns with the part number of your old, faulty module. At Xenons4U, we offer the Lynk&Co 8888254338 LED module, which is factory-fitted to both Lynk&Co. 01 CX11 and Zeekr 001 cars. After confirming that both part numbers align, you can then proceed with the replacement process. 
  • Step 2: After replacement, diagnostic coding is required to help your vehicle “understand” that the defective part has been replaced. This will alert your vehicle that the problem has been addressed and will be recorded in the car’s ECU.
