ML320 LIMPMODE

My 2000 ML320 is stuck in limp mode. How do I fix this? I've unhooked battery for 20+ min., checked fuses, & replaced gas cap. Help!

It only goes into 2nd & R gears. No gear shift display on dash screen. It is blank.

Lisa, you will have to have the codes read in the ECM (Eng. Control Module) "P" Codes and again in the ETC/Trans. Module-3 digit codes to narrow down the possibilities.

There will be 3 digit codes stored in the Trans. Module so please make sure that the mech. you choose has the scanner to read M/B 3 digit codes.
