2003 C180 Showing False Malfunction Problem ("Steering Wheel Adjustment lock")
Hey Everyone!
Recently, this error message showed up on my on-board computer: The false error message
Interestingly, it pops up and disappears at random times repeadetly while driving and not showing up at all before running the engine ( so it only happens while the engine is running and driving in short). The on-board computer says 0 malfunctions either. Sometimes it did not disappear for a long time after I start also while driving recent times. The steering wheel works fine as it is used to.
I bringed my car to several mechanics and all of them checked it with OBD scanners and computers (same thing?) and none of them found nothing, no error codes, like nothing happend before. Also they took a look at the steering wheel adjustment lock, working fine at all.
It could be an electrical malfucntion causing to pop up this false error message? I have absolute no idea at all.
I hope you guys can help me found the source of the problem and find possible solutions I appreciate any kind of helps towards me.
Does your steering wheel run straight. When I bought my car the steering wheel was a few degrees out when driving in a straight line. I adjusted the track rod ends one turn each at a time until the steering was straight again.
This cleared the fault and my cruise was working again. Best to get the tracking done correctly after this. I know peoples thoughts on Quckfit but they will charge only around £60 for this.
