For a while now, im noticing that the auto high beams on my 2018 honda accord ex-l 2.0t car isnt working. I've tried reseting the display audio unit, I've tried disabling/re-enabling auto high beam feature by pulling the high beam stick on the steering column - none of this has fixed the issue. Basic OBD2 (via bluetooth and android app) do no indicate any fault codes. Will be taking this into the dealership to have it checked out.
