ETCS Reset & Dpf Reset using MB2 diagnostic
Hi,
According to iCarsoft, ETCS reset means Electronic Throttle Control System" relean, where they added in the "relean".
Dpf reset means "Diesel Particular Filter" regen, where they added in the "regen".
As I do not have a "black belt" in Mercedes maintenance, can someone tell me when and why that resetting would be done? And is it even recommended for an ignorant b........... like myself to attempt it? At the moment I do not seem to have any codes apart from the LH front door not closing. Thanks.

OK, I get your point. iCarsoft added in "relean", perhaps you can tell me, why the air/fuel mixture might become richer with time? Will I get a later code the mass air flow sensor is faulty or out of calibration and that "relean" allows me to recalibrate it?
OK, second point, the regen. Will I get some error code in future to tell me the particulate filter needs regeneration and then I can act on it?
If I have convinced myself I know all that stuff I would not ask. But I can see your anger as a specialist, that DIY chaps are willing to learn more, rather than paying Merc dealers AUS$230/hour.

Well, it's only been a little over 7 years, but better late than never...
First of all, I don't know if there are any missing posts in between yours. Seems like maybe someone deleted theirs?
Anyhow, I have the MBII and have also wondered about the ETCS reset/relearn. I also don't want to mess anything up.
Having said that, I have the following codes (also link to thread in benzworld - I hope it's allowed):
I've checked for vacuum leaks and can't find any. I'm not 100% sure, but pretty close.
I'm thinking maybe I have to do some adaptations, but I think the ETCS is the only one the MBII includes.
I'm trying to figure out if it's worth doing and won't screw anything up. I didn't clean the TB or do anything to mess with it though.
