Does anyone know how to disable the ASR control? This function have always cost the transmission to go on limp home mode in spite of fixing the defects. Is there anyway to disable this function?

My car has a ASR cancel button.I used it for faster take offs.

cool_lagoon

can you post pictures to show where the button is for cancelling the ASR? i have never heard of such button in all the W140 series, this is something new, hope you'll share.

cool_lagoon

I hope you don;t mean the button right beside the ash tray with the wheel sign printed on the button

oldsinner111

mine is a 1999 and the button says ASR off

cool_lagoon

If you have it then post the pic, how come up to now you can;t post any picture?

oldsinner111

they changed the way you post pictures,I will post one today in my album 1999 s320 I think its page number 3

cool_lagoon

Is there any one out there with a TRUE and HONEST and EXPERIENCED advice on how to override the ASR function? Or are there non or has no one ever done it before? For those who are just guessing please keep it to yourself as this is a legitimate issue to many of you out there, i could not find any resolution and maybe others have any idea to share.

cool_lagoon

nothing has been changed by the site moderator just post it on the same blog page, but if you don;t really have it it's ok

ASR is a great thing to have if it was working but when it breaks it's the true menace that is so hard to fix and detect. another good for nothing unfriendly technology from MB

In turn mine off I love wheel spin,even in snow.
yes it has changed you have to inter a url.Where as before you could browse your files.I added them to album on page 4.
To use ASR off button you shift into Drive hold button for 5 seconds.I use it at the Drag Strip to heat my tires.

the switch you posted as i told you since last year was not an off on switch for ASR, it is for snow or regular start, it is a switching system to start 2nd or 1st gear. many do not understand what the ASR is for and which of the components are connected to the system, almost all electronic functions are controlled by it including the transmission, speed sensor, brakes, lights, etc.

Maybe your car is different year,the snow/sport switch is further down on my car.
Listen I race at the track,to heat my tires I use the switch to cancell asr.On another forum I hear the same complaint about ASR in older w140s.On those cars you spend $200 for a special switch that connects under the hood.

go to the Peachparts forums join and sreach.

got the ASR issue resolved, take the socket on both left and right ETA out, connect right bank socket of ETA first and start engine. stop engine, connect left socket ETA then start engine again, let the ETA get it's bearing point, making sure that all other parts within the loop is working right.

oldsinner111

whats the ETA?,and what is LH,please

cool_lagoon

ETA electronic throttle actuator located on both engine bank (for V formation engines) right after the MAF,
