Back to basics - you have to make sure "communication" is clear - which can cause a mis-taken fault.

the tranny communicates the the Transmission Control Module in the engine compartment thru a electronic cable - that cable is connected to the Conductor Plate in the tranny thru a Tranny Adapter Plug.

Often over time that Tranny Adapter Plug will leak internally - that tranny fluid over time can "wick" up the inside of the cable to the Tranny Control Module too.

1. Do a forum search to replace the Tranny Adapter Plug with genuine MB or MOPAR ONLY - a $14-$15 part

2. Pull the TCM board - which unplugs and pulls out - spray/flod clean both side of the TCM board and connector with MAF Cleaner - let air dry.

This way with "comm clean" - reset the fault - and you could be good..

I have cleaned out the plug already, the TCM is clean from oil, I will change the o-rings tomorrow...but im wondering if iCaraSoftactually can erase the code

fabbrisd1

Usually not - but you can hope..

ThrasherGod

Now I've changed the conductor plate, the socket, filter and oil. I erased the code in ECU but the car is still in limpmode.

The faultcode is P2066 Fault is stored in the component N15/3 (ETC[EGS] Control Unit) (P0715).

Dont know what i should do next

Plutoe

All your freshman scanner did was clear the ECU fault it has not cleared the TCU fault

ThrasherGod

Is it possible to just swap TCU:s...I really dont wanna pay the dealer 250$ for erasing the code

Plutoe

That's possible as long as the TCM's are the same part number--however on the other hand if the VIN is stored in the TCU like in the ECU, you car will never start because the VIN's will not match------I normally will only do the work if the used TCU has been wiped of all data, then I can flash the used TCU with the correct file and VIN---now wtf who is going to do all that work for nothing!----deliver pizza for dominos for a week and make the 250 to do the work correctly

Are you using 38-pin adapter with iCarsoft?
OBD will never clear transmission code on W210 and to my knowledge iCarsoft is not supporting those computers.
Beside SD clones, I know MaxiEcu will erase the code and they sell the adapters pretty cheap.

ThrasherGod

Yes i have the 38 pin adapter, I dont even have a obd2 in my car for some strange reason.
I have tried that adapter with iCarsoft cr plus, Delphi, Autocom and WOW...but all they can do is erase the code in the engine box.

Only US models had OBD starting in 1996, when other countries took as far as 2001 to have them.
Getting scanner working with W210 is hard as you experienced. New scanners consider the car too old to bother with software, while 38 pins is not making it easier.
The scanners I mention above is probably the only easy choice.

My MB is a 2001 model, the strange thing is that i had obd2 in my 1998 300 TDT.
I live in Sweden, but my 320 is imported from France.

I will try find the scanner you mentioned, Im thinking of buying the cables and such so I can use Xentry, can get my hands on that software...maybe buy Star but thats kinda expensive

kajtek1

Buying to Sweden, you will have fast shipping of MaxiEcu directly from manufacturer, what can save you few bucks.
They have site in english, but if something goes wrong, PM me for help with Polish.
Tell them Kris Pawlak send regards

ThrasherGod

Thanks for the help but the software was a little to expensive for my wallet right now 500 euros and thats over 5000 Skr.

Star Diagnostics have the same prize and that software is only for Mercedes

kajtek1

500 is with licence for all car brands.
For single brand you pay 113 Euro https://maxiecu.eu/en/shop/6/maxiecu-m-usb/
+ 15 for adapter https://maxiecu.eu/en/shop/21/adapter_Benz/
Prices went up since 2 years ago I had the set shipped to US for less than $100 total.
Check your country local adds as MaxiEcu has regional distributors, who might ship faster and for competitive price.

kajtek1

Hmmmm you can buy inteface in Poland for $23 https://allegro.pl/oferta/polski-uni...usb-7737448729

ThrasherGod

Yeah i found a local shop here in Sweden and the prize was the same as in their official store.

I will check out the link you gave me
