Hi

I am on my coil over suspension conversion

I have all things listed from ajusteble spring to sway bars
i'll post a topic when avanced

now my last issue to solve is the ABC warnings

now, strutmaster's module is
but I doubt that if I remove all ABC parts except the pump that this module we handle warnings.... strutmasters on the phone pretend it replaces the whole abc module stuff......

on the other side, as I have STAR DAS and developper mode
i thought it would be possible to code out ABC...

and I read here:
http://www.rebuildmastertech.com/mer...onversion-kit/

"15 Hours of labor and reprogramming the ABC out of the system so no warning lights come on. We can work to assist your mechanic with the installation."

so coding out ABC is possible ?

some super user and moderator here say so... but HOW HOW HOW how how (Austrian mountain's echo)

if you say something like that say how please, or shut your pie*****

Okay so I'm gonna chime in like I always do for these coilover threads when comparing CL/S and SL. SL can be coded out because on the R230 they offered coilovers on the SL350 and SL65 BS. You cant do CL or S via SDS cause mercedes never offered the car with coilovers. But yes on a SL it can be coded out 100% because I did it on my SL65 and even put a walkthrough how to do it on the R230 AMG thread.

If you had an R230 this is how you would do it

I asked RMT about CL/S and coding it out if I wanted to buy a CL65 and do the yellowspeed coilovers and they said cant be done on SDS and you need some kind of module to trick the system.

great info !

so one of my tryouts will be if I can get a R230 module to work on a w215 or get the R230 program in a w215 module....

lets see... thx !

so far, in setting, I was able to set my cl600 to AIRMATIC instead of ABC
interesting.. as my cl600 was never build with airmatic right ?

I did this by choosing SPECIAL VEHICULE

let's investigate more...

ABC Suspension Control Unit A 0225450832 is the same for
W220 W215 W230 R230 SL

so there must be a way to trick this
In ABC control unit, I see Version(internal) R230 lol

V12TTenthusiast

Its prob the something to do with the ICM then, did S/CL share same ICM and not SL?

pmercury

iTrader: (2)

yes
your control unit version is
KIW3CAN version (internal) AJ_06_1

pmercury

mine is KIWK2 C6_Stand

here is all I can do on my cl600 untill now

I have a extra ABC module arriving tomorrow, that way I can play around in the software

also, all this is software is dumpable
once I have the HEX dumps, I can compare and tryout

Im curious if that Strutmaster can box works alot better on cars coded at airmatic? Isnt the box the same for there S class airmatic kits?

pmercury

iTrader: (2)

well, a thing I read somewhere is that if I switch to airmatic, I would only have 1 white message on every startup that I can remove with the R button

also, and this is why I do some upfront research, I called strutmasters and they said the box replaces the whole ABC module in terms of signals faking all of it.

If that is so, then it's a fabulous device. but I have a doubt
I think it only fakes the 4 sensors on the top of the abc struts or maybe those and the height/level sensors

that would mean that you have to have a perfectly working ABC system with pressure ect
which is ridiculous of course
but lets see.. one step by one

Just recalling you guys that the threat is going on also over here
https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...230-cars.html?

BUT PLEASE, ONLY POST HERE or the project is going to be confusing

Based on the Models they listed Im thinking this module was meant for Airmatic not ABC or they would have listed SL also. GL, CLS, E were all air and S had some air models. If CL thinks its an Air car this might work. Idk if the Air and ABC wiring setup is the same to install these units or not.

agree
but don't forget, I can set the cl to airmatic
so something to try would be, if the ABC lights still give problems with the module, to set the car to airmatic + module.
