I take it you did the test by:
1) Turning on headlights
2) Leave them on
3) exit the car
4) lock the car with the remote
5) unlock the car with remote
6) put the key in the ignition and turned it to the ACC postion
7) lights should do self test, moving up and down
I say try this a couple of time on level ground, if not it's probably the senor.

I also am having problems with my auto leveling system, the malfunction light is on and I am not sure how to go about diagnosing the system. I will try this test.

Just HID GS's.

My friend at the Lex dealer said if both aren't leveling the sensor is the problem, if only 1, then the light is the problem.
