---> CALI's hands-on W212-'14: *** REBOOT HOW-TO ***
Simplicity can help many savy members improve engine + tranny basic driveability.
Only work on this if you have Xentry or a MB compatible scanner to read your module fault collection.
The issue this solve is not surging the chassis while fastening the MainGND brass nut - We don't want surge!!!
We're going to repurpose an old fashioned jumper cable. We'll use it to momentarily connect MAIN BATT(-) with the ENG GND (-) while dealing with main connections.
BLACK side ONLY - RED remains UNUSED 👍
Again we are only dealing with BLACK/GND/(-) at all time. We are NOT dealing with RED/PWR/(+) stays unused for our purpose.
> WARNING:
- This is experimental and may be dangerous
- Don't try this at home...
- Do not contact to Red (+) battery at any time
- This is entry level once you understand a bit
- Do not run engine with any cabling near belt/fan
If you are confused: dismiss yourself from this experimental procedure.
Invisible electric power can become dangerous regardless of voltage.
> POWER DOWN (1_Aux/2_Main):
Chassis is going to loose power in a controlled way without any surge sparks.
1- PRELIMINARIES:
We are going to first install a GND bypass before anything else.
Clamping GND on MAIN BATT(-)
Clamping GND (-) on M276-3.5NA engine aluminum
> At this point main GND is directly connected via our bypass setup...
We can proceed further with disconnections
Removing MAIN BATT GND(-)
Removing the now bypassed unused GND Post... no current: no spark: no problem!
> At this stage Main remains fully connected via bypass only.
2- AUX OUT:
Let's first disconnect the AUX backup power
Trunk AUX disconnect
(10mm wrench or quick disconnect shown here)
> At this stage without AUX, the chassis remains only powered by MAIN.... let's go back at the front near engine strap.
3- MAIN OUT:
Proceed to this step in less than 30seconds after AUX.
Remove GND clamp from engine at once
Now the chassis has lost all power except BATT LIN Sensor...
4- HYUNDAI OUT:
Unplug the Hyundai BATT Module to manually cause batt relearn.
Now take a 15mn break or longer..Refrain from shorting (+) to (-): the whole procedure helps avoid surges - So pls don't create unnecessary surge that undersized capacitors are going to dislike.
> POWER UP (1_Main/2_Aux):
Chassis is going to power up in a controlled way.
We are going to limit production of sparks to one snap.
1- MAIN BYPASS ON
clamp the GND in one quick snap
That's where you're going to get one small current surge to power up all drained sleeping modules.
2- HYUNDAI BACK IN:
Front Batt sensor is now connected back to Rear-SAM LIN in charge of managing the 12.6V Float voltage based on consumer demands.
3- TRUNK AUX BACK ON
AUX is now back on within 30 seconds
4- MAIN GND BACK IN
reinstall MAIN BATT Strap
No current, no spark, no surge!
Fasten the brass nut with hand torque appreciation
5- BYPASS GND REMOVAL
bypass strap comes off
no current, no spark, no surge!
Falks, there you have it. (Car Care Nut)
Nothing less nothing more. (master Tasos)
> AFTERMATH :
There is very little negative side effects to loosing power on this chassis and so much to gain!
reverse gear: mirror tilt: driver door switch
Windows control: driver door switch
Clocks /Radio automatic!!
There is NO AGGEAVATION with...:
COMMAND CODE : not needed
Windows/roof reset : not needed
> IN ADDITION:
This batteries procedure is perfect for...:
-- winter month storage
-- AGM higher voltage charge cycle
-- Wild chassis gone sleepless (CAN-B)
-- Numerous delays in sloppy tranny shifts
-- Clunky engine affected by CAN latencies
-- Removing modules out without power
-- Results may vary according to how fast networking chaos overwhelms CentralGateWay. About twice a month or weekly is a fair amount of time.
-- You will notice a better throttle response temporarily while network chaos is reduced.
-- You should learn to your IC display to show the Hyunday sensor data. That will help you evidence any live chaos brewing.
-- On the road a Key "On/Off/On" cycle will help you quickly reset limp-modes after prolonged drives.
Enjoy your journey with serenity.
