It took a hard reset of the ECU, discovered by accident, to fix the problem. The reset was not performed with the scanner.

My "discovery" was accidental when following @S-Prihadi and @CaliBenzDriver suggestions to perform continuity tests on the wiring from the ECU to the oil level switch. With the oil at a correct level, the switch to ground closes and you get continuity to ground. I measured this at pin 13 on the X26 #4 connector between the ECU and the oil switch. (X26 is a connector in the wiring harness between the ECU and a few other sensors. Pin 13 goes to the oil level switch.) On the switch side, there was essentially a short to ground (0.8 ohms). However, when checking on the ECU side, it was essentially and open circuit. But I think in testing the ECU side at pin 13 I somehow reset a condition that was causing the message. All I know is that since doing that I have not had the message again.

I got the menu to pull up and turned on then sat in garage and well no issues.
Will confirm with test tonight.

FYI: I did have battery charger on battery the whole time took like 30-45 mins as after every variable change you have to save and then wait.

Pretty much take the info that guy in the YOU TUBE wrote, and I copied above and go down the list and find the right module.

I can say the Second module list is FWGW or something but was CHASSIS Gateway.
He has HLI-FL212 and I have SG-SW-L for LH headlamp module.

Few different English words as I guess the Launch coder use a different translator.

Yours may be different as sometimes he uses English word for NO or YEs and then on Launch you get German so take your time make sure you have them all before changing them.
WI am attaching my revised word doc I made after going thru it to find everything.
I know I messed up, but it was close enough for me to figure out. Think I forgot a few words here and there.

Here is copy and paste of my text:

Here is another video that you or others may want to consider using to double check what other values you need to switch for ILS:

WOnder if they fixed issue?
I guess one way to find out off to garage once everyone wakes up

ANyone know where to find what the updates changes are?
I thought I found it sometime ago but cannot find it anymore - maybe it was something else I cannot remember

I swear I saw one when I first got it and was surfing the net.

ARGGGGgggg.

What you get is basic scanning of a few modules (such as the ECU, TCM, and a few others), but if you wanted truly comprehensive scanning of all available modules, you have to buy/subscribe to the complete package for your car. This is no different than what you can do with the LAUNCH Creader Elite 2.0 BENZ scanner without paying extra. With my BENZ version, I scan 44 modules; with the CRP123X version, it scanned only eight modules without paying extra. Needless to say, it went back to Amazon the same day.

Hardware wise: Launch, Topdon, and Thinktool use the same base software from Launch.

Launch has been around longer than Topdon.

I believe they are the same top level company targeting different markets

but when you go backto check - it just keeps the old value or a blank value.

I also use this reader on other cars a ageneric code reader and clearer of check engine light codes that are other brands so vediamo isbrand specific which I hate as it is not a multi tasker.
