GL320 Bluetec

Hello, I have had my Bluetec emmesions update and suddenly my GL320 turns over but won't start. The cooling fan then comes on full blast for about 30 seconds and then shuts off. My old scanner says fault in communication with ecu. Any suggestions? I am not sure if the ecu is covered on the blutec warranty. Thanks! Tim

Try the diesel forum. Lots of others with your same issues there.

Reading what you wrote, since it happened immediately after getting the update, I would go back to the shop that did the update and talk with them.

Otherwise... and maybe others can say with more/less certainty/clarification... you may be looking a damaged (water?) SAM module.

Assuming your vehicle is a 2009? According to 2009 AEM, your ECU was replaced, therefore, should be covered in my opinion.

Either way, have Mercedes read your codes, there is no fee.

Good luck, and be sure to update us on what transpired.

I used a different scanner on my gl320 and it says 11B100 component M3(fuel pump has open circuit and also component B76/1 condensation sensor for fuel filter with heating element has an internal fault. Could this just be a fuse or relay?
