Well, it did not throw any on my car. My s/c wasnt engaging, star gave me code "M16/7" recirculating air flap fault. So before I bought the part, I checked wiring from the comp to the plug, and found the brocken wires.
The wiring harness for the throttle body and the recirc air flap are routed behind the engine, tie rapped against the engine and transmission. It gets super hot back there, so over time it will burn through the shielding and eventually to the wires. My car is an 03 with 110k miles, so maybe Mercedes noticed and rerouted them on other years. But wouldnt hurt to check. Will save you headaches if you catch it before it happens.
