Did you have any issues?

In my experience, these cars all have stored CAN communication codes at times. They seem to be random and not problematic unless you are specifically having issue with the related systems. It still happens on the brand new ones, we ignore the stored faults unless there's an actual issue.

thx Ital, yep I agree but you guess that i'm now some sort of DAS specialist, I love it and learn day by day

but as perfectionist I have always 0 faults in my DAS apart from the faults I created intentionaly like ashtray light & Suspension and I scan my car like 3 times per week. I love to reset adaptation too hehehehe


no but this is not a stored fault, it's coming back instantly
no direct issues, but I can't leave that fault

I've seen some people replacing the unit, some repair it


maybe I should take it out and take it apart for a cleanup and soldering tour. maybe its a soldering point or a break

just wondered if someone had a similar problem

Thread revival!
Did you fix it?!

I've just dismantled my ESM gear selector which has about 200 components in it!

To get the PCB out (I did an eeprom swap) the whole thing has to be dismantled

It's ridiculous double interlocked German Engineering!!

Yea
that is a old post
that part is one if not THE most difficult to take apart

I don't need to do this anymore as I have a good friend I helped a lot who has for 25.000 usd programming tools
he just does a few clicks and the device is virgin again and ready to be coded

great to hear you did it

OMG that's amazing!
The US supplier I bought my used ESM from told me they get them virginalised.

Can you ask your friend how it's done I'll happily pay him via Paypal.

Something to do with creating a dump file from the eeprom via OBD I guess??

Thanks but our Merc main agent is giving a totally different number for my shifter for my VIN number .
They say I need
2302675524

They have quoted £680 for it and £270 to fit it.
I might just have to bite the bullet !!!
