If this is something you're trying to tackle yourself then you're going to need ISTA installed on a laptop with an Esys cable to diagnose it.

Yes getting a code reader is invaluable.. but if the vertical aim fault is meaning your headlight level sensor, it is a white piece attached to your suspension on the front passenger tire. Look it up on this website and it should help guide you to it. Good news is that the sensor isn't really crazy expensive nor hard to replace.. It is possible you just snapped the arm, and you can get creative on how to attach it together.
