So i just installed my MTEC 6000k HID kit, works perfect for the first few days now the computer is going crazy saying "ABS Module Failure" + "ESP Display Failure" + "Brake Wear, Please See Shop" + the speedometer stops displaying the vehicle speed. No idea whats going on, any advice on what to do??

 

Tighten the battery terminals.

 

is there anyway to reset the computer to make it go away, so i can see if it comes back etc.?

 

Yes, disconnect the battery for at least 30 mins.

 

im not happy right now, there is no way all of these errors could go off all at once, i mean the spedo doesn't even work, im wondering if the MTEC kit is messing with the computer.

 

Check to see if the battery terminals are loose.
Unplug the battery for 30min or so. Drive the car and see if the messages come back. If they do, unplug the battery for 30min and remove the Mtec kit. Drive around.

 

your car is a 07 C230 should have warrenty right??

your dealer would only void your lighting warranty and the rest should be fine..

if you have an accident because of this message you could sue MB

 

A lawsuit against MB would be very exhaustive. A while back my old company's executive whose sl600 airbag went off for no reason while he was driving and caused an accident! Anyways MB went to great lengths to pigeonhole him even flying in doctors and engineers from out of state to destroy this guys credibility. They may cut corners when it comes to manufacturing cars, but not when they are getting sued

 

remove the kit and have roadside tow ur ride to the dealer

 

i unplugged the battery, now all i have is a check engine, so hopefully i can get that cleared up on monday, hopefully those other messages dont come back!

 

I have heard to never place hid components near abs control units etc... as initially it takes a huge amt of energy to ignite the bulbs. So sometimes spark can jump to near by circuits and mess it up. I felt the voltage first hand with my acura with HID. I spliced the wires so there are no insulators between connectors and my hands got too close and I got a short but painful electrical shock.

On our benz I got the $80 hid kit off of ebay with capacitors and it's been great. Perhaps hid components are too close to abs units in your case. If I were you I'll pretend you don't know what happend, remove hid kit, and take it to dealer for repairs

 

wow this really makes sense, i think i might of mounted the ballast in a bad spot, im going to take a picture right now

 

never mind im to lazy to go take one now, but i mounted it on the ESP box so im guessing thats whats causing the errors, i think i need to move the ballast!

 

i moved the ballast, every light including the check engine has gone away! lets hope it stays this way!

 

Where did you purchase the kit?
EBay?
I have an 05 coupe still under warranty. Wonder if I do MTEC the same will happen what happened to you?...

 

just don't mount the ballast on the ESP box then you be okay

 

It may have been your mounting position. I have had the kit since January, and no issues. Popped a ballast once, sent it to them, they sent me a whole new left assembly. But then again, the chip within the kit that make its "error proof" may have criss-crossed some of your signals.

Hope all works now.

 

I just replaced my Xenons yesterday, and the same thing happened to me. I've had them attached in the same place as yours for a couple of years now and never had a problem before. When I start the car I get the same messages, the mirrors go up and down and I can't shift out of park. It all goes away, when I restart the car. The ballasts are what used to be HALO, and I replaced the bulbs with some cheap EBAY bulbs. Could have it been that they were installed without disconnecting the battery first? I thought all the bulbs are the same, just the ballasts are made differently?

 

so any update as to what happened to your lights Benzo0573?

 

everything works great! just had to move the ballast!

 

Really? Where to? Post a pic if you can! I'll be taking the car in to the dealer next week for some stuff and I didn't want the HID's to be flippin out on them. Did you disconnect the battery too?

 

my friend had a pinched wire after installing his HID's on his bimmer, and had the check brake lights come on

 

does any other msgs come one from the hid kit? i was planinng to replace my kit with the mtec ones
