Help please cel codes. Tranny problem
Help please!
I recently had the infamous transmission Leak through the adapter plug and down the harness into the tcu. I have replaced the plug fixing the leak, ran a new wire harness, and got a new tcu. I was showing a P0600 code with old tcu so when I plugged in the new one now I am getting codes p0715 and p0730. Do I need to just have the tcu re-adapted or do I have bigger problems? Car is stuck in limp mode. All fluids are new and correct level.

i took it to an indy and he wants to replace the transmission.....he hooked it up to DAS and these are the 3 codes it pulled
P220A The speed comparison of Y3/6n2 or Y3/6n3 is implausible.
P2221 The signal of component Y3/6b1 (ATF temperature sensor) and (or) Y3/6s1 (Starter lockout contact) is implausible.
P2502 The gear is implausible or the transmission is slipping.
my obd2 scanner is still reading
P0715 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0730 Incorrect Gear Ratio
He re-programmed the vin # to the new tcu to match my car and nothing changed (but idk if he did it right he looked confused)
any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

I mean I'm def not a mechanic but car will not go out of second gear when you first start it and after a few minutes it loses all gears and will not engage and you can't manually shift it stays in drive and you can't switch from s to c... No grinding or nothing just like it's in neutral. Never had any slipping or grinding or clunking before it just went into limp mode and threw codes. I just don't see how an amg tranny would go out after only 65,000 miles and a trans flush and filter at 55000 and all service a and b records from before I bought the car from a guys wife daily driver in Houston

I left the battery undone for a couple of days and then plugged in the new tcu into the new harness and it ran like a beast for about 5 miles then went back to the same **** with new cel codes

Sounds bad.. Have you tried to reset your transmission adaptation yet..? Try this:
1. Turn the igniiton key to the "on" position which is just before you crank the engine to start.
2. Press the accelerator to the floor and hold for 5 seconds.
3. Then turn the key to the off position but do not remove the key, then release the accelerator.
4. Wait at least 2 minutes, the ECU is then reset.
Something I found here and do every once In a while.. Good luck..

Sorry to say, but like stated in the pervious thread, the vehicle needs a SDS to do proper diagnosis. When there are speed sensor DTCs, mostly likely the valve body will have to be replaced. Ask the indy shop to pull up the transmission control log and PM me it as a file

I am sorry for this stup*** question, but where did you get the TCU from? Is it the same part number and from the same car as yours? Sorry, but my understanding is that the TCU doesn't tie with the VIN. I have replaced TCU on my CLK before when I upgraded my rear differential. The car would go lime mode if I use my old TCU with the new rear diff and worked fine with the new TCU. They are not VIN specific.
If I am not wrong, your car was running fine right until your TCU got flooded right? So there should not be anything wrong with the Trans. It must be the TCU. If your mechanic wants to replace the Trans, I would run from him.
Good Luck!

no its not stupid at all...got it from a 2004 c240 722.6 tranny rwd....identical part# - yes i have been told the vin was tied and it wasnt...not sure if it mattered or was mandatory but i watched him enter the vin in DAS because it was showing 0000000000000000 under TCU VIN# so there was atleast a spot for a vin to be entered...yep no problems until the tcu finally crapped out, yes I am running from him lol i dont know if he just doesnt want to mess with it or if he is retarted...
the ecu software could be a problem I have no idea if they are they same although this supposedly came out of a 2004 model...i will definitely try and get that looked at as well thanks a lot!
i have seen a few posts about the conductor plate maybe this could be the issue as well I will try and look into all of these this week you guys are awesome!

wait, your using a TCU from a C240? theyre programed differently so it wont work. the tranny itself will go into a sort of limp mode and stay in nuetral when running because the software doesnt match

The problem is right there. If I am not wrong C32 has 3.07 rear diff while C240 has 3.47. If you can find a TCU for 3.07 rear diff ratio like one coming from another C32, it will work. If you have a friend with a C32, you can borrow the TCU for a quick test.

there is no way to reprogram the tcu to get the software to match? i figured it would work since it was the exact mb part #....
so will a used tcu only work from a c32? what about a tcu from a 2003 c270 or a 2004 c230 i can get those i just cant find one from another c32 unless i buy a new one for like 600 I only paid 85 for the c240 tcu i really dont wanna shell out that much cash if that isnt even the problem and the conductor plate or something else is the issue lol

SDS is more for the name of the console and DAS is the program it runs. If the software is updated in the SDS then it should be possible that the shop can perform a software update on the TCU. "initial start up or offline SCN coding" which can could load the correct software as per the vehicle into the TCU. Also in an earlier post, the speed sensors are located in the conductor plate, so that can be change aside from the valve body. Much cheaper. Good luck
