Yes. But if it is coded to where the car actually is that could be the problem. I know in the USA we have to change the country coding to "rest of world " to get those things to work.

Malfunction (or reason for system disable) should be shown in codes, was the tester MB SDS?

I remember couple of cases where SBC hold disable was due to error in gear selector module.

You system has not been updated because STOP is remved from system then...

One thing came up my mind; you said this happened after car wash; check the drains under the aux battery (under the combination filter, passenger side in engine bay), as well as boot floor in case of water damage... (but flood problem should also be seen usually several other electrical problem and fault codes..)

Read the codes with MB star diagnostic, if the earlier tester was somthing else. I'm suspecting gear shifter of brake light switch... My SBC hold was disabled temporary when my gas pedal sensor was playing up, but that put on engine light also, and fault was cleared at restart (even EML still on), so there are many things which may prevent SBC full features...

Check out possible water damages/corrosion around the aux battery, fuse boxes and boot.

Faulty aux battery would cause red alert in instrument cluster so I think battery itself is not a culprit here.

Is this like the hold feature on my C63 where you press the brake hard & quick and the brakes stay on until you hit the gas? If so I can I re-code my 06 to do this?

If you have facelift car, You still should have that feature! It not called any more hold and I cannot recall how to activate it...

OP:I'm suggesting to see any water damage because your problems started after washing (engine bay box in drivers side, aux battery area and trunk overall bottom yes), otherwise I would say its gearbox/shifter related.

Here some discussion in UK forum:

Yep it's disabled in USA facelift cars...

OP:
I've done so digging, definately there has been many faults in gear selector module. There is some switch grounding problem which does not affect to gearbox operation but sends info to SBC. Document GI42.46-P-037367 tells more (sorry couldn't find it).

Sometimes faulty door pin (or bonnet/trunk) switch is disabling hold feature because car thinks door is open.

Disabled meaning it can be enabled via STAR and a c4? OR Disabled/Never installed/Never meant to work in USA facelift cars?


Thanks,

I am afraid it's not in software any more so not possible tweaking via Xentry... but I'm not expert of US versions, so if I am wrong option could be seen if you just change your land coding to european one...

Luis, there is conflicting information in your post. You say that SBC-Stop and Hold NEVER worked in your car? Then maybe your car was not set for that feature from the factory. You can write in Portuguese, I am in Massachusetts and there are a lot of people here speaking Portuguese.

To the other questions here. The W211 exported to US had the SBC-H and SBC-S functions disabled. At that time MBUSA feared that such an advanced function will discombobulate the rich housewife MB demographic causing fender benders and making their family lawyers sue MB. Forward 10 years after most car manufacturers introduced similar features and it is back on.
As mentioned above here you need the DAS to recode the Central Gateway Module to RDW (Rest of the World in german) from US.
I have done this to my 04 E500 and 06 SL500 and I cannot drive without them anymore. I am not sure about 06 and newer. For example the SBC-S is not present at all in 06 SL500. To some extent these functions were tied to the SBC system, if the system was abandoned after 06, I do not know if the functions are still there.

I've got a 2005 E55 whilst it's coded to RDW and SBC-H is available the option of SBC-S is NOT an option on my E55. However on my E240 both options are available.

Seems options vary dependent on model and year.

The gear lever must be replaced, there is a board sensor that has failed, when changing the lever with the board will be fine Autohold.
