W204 abs problem/ sensor multifuncion

Hello guys. So i have a w204 c180 1.6 petrol coupe year 2012 with only 66k in the dash. When is cold outside, i start the engine and have no sensors on. After just few metres of driving ,stering wheel get hard to move for a second (like when the engine is of) . In that moment car show in dash front airbag left/right multifunction , car give flash also ask to release handbrake. Strange thing is when i put tester on it , no fault code comes on. Not all the time have this problem. Sometimes pass more than a month between these shows Also i received a recall letter. For airbag. Can that cause what is happening? Problem starts about a month before receiving the letter. Thanks in advance

U0416 is a generic code about receiving invalid data. A Mercedes specific scanner will allow you to further diagnose the issue.

random Xmas-tree

you either going to pay $2500 for a professional repair or spend $150 for a scanner to read your car.

Specifically a LAUNCH cReader Elite will help you well don't shot change yourself with a discount piece of kit.

You have intermittent random "X-Mas Tree"... I associate that with marginal electricals.
As in check:
  • Alternator output: voltage ?
  • Bad system battery: charge, drain ?
  • Main chassis GND: oxidized strap ?

You said no code, that is fairly strange as these cars come with hard codes from factory... at any rate a good scanner will let you read LIVE MODULE DATA.

Hope this help you sort things out.
🤞

Throw that piece of crap away or save it for your Honda. It will do more harm than good. Mercedes are very temperamental when it comes to electronics and you NEED the right tool.

w204 2012 c class 1.6 petrol
Hi , I have the same exact problem , mine is a w204 , c180 1.6 petrol saloon with over 141,000 miles ,


my car always jerks every first 20 km/h only.. after I start the car there are warnings pop-ups that say "1. Release parking break & 2. Front right/left malfunction, Consult workshop" After that it ran smoothly but sometimes the check engine warning lit up but sometimes its went automatically

I've taken my car to the diagnostics, and the following codes have shown up with the following faults. Any help or advice would be appreciated.


C180 BLUEEFFICIENCY EXECUTIVE SE , 2012 1.6 cc



P250513



The power supply at the input of the control unit 'combustion engine' has an electrical fault. There is an S open circuit.





P06DA00



Select 'Error codes / Events' menu item in control unit 'N3/10 - Motor electronics 'MED40' for combustion S engine 'M274' (ME)'. Then read out fault memory.



B1C1113



The NECK-PRO head restraint 'Driver' has a malfunction. There is an open circuit.





B1C1713



The NECK-PRO head restraint 'Front passenger' has a malfunction. There is an open circuit.





C41500.



Implausible data were received from control unit 'ESP®'.





C200200



The supply voltage of control unit 'N30/4 (Electronic Stability Program control unit)' is too high (overvolta ge).





B210F00



Input 'Circuit 30' has a malfunction. _





C115



Communication with the instrument cluster has a malfunction.



990915



The output for actuator motor 'Additional door lock' has a malfunction. There is a short circuit to positive or S an open circuit.



A10C17

A10C17



The power supply is outside the valid range. The limit value for electrical voltage has been exceeded.



A10C17



The power supply is outside the valid range. The limit value for electrical voltage has been exceeded.



A10C17



The power supply is outside the valid range. The limit value for electrical voltage has been exceeded.

Ive changed the battery to a newer one but no change


ive noticed with an OBD 2 sensor ( the alternator voltage ) when i cold start the car and drvie off the voltage drops to 12.5 volts , i have a feeling it could be related to the voltage regulator ??

any advise please

Ive also been told by someone else on another MB Forum that it could be the SAM Module


But no one is sure

I have uploaded the diagnostics report

cause vs. consequence

this thread makes it look possible a bad power relay in "Circuit 30" has gone unreliable.

Replacing expensive modules blindly will not fix that. One single $10 relay would serve as perfect fix. I would not rush to swap ESP, ECU nor SAM.

You'll need the related schematic pages to trace that circuit to ECU.

Now all is perfect
New batteries come with a free reboot
If this fix last longer than a month or so,
then it will be good.
