measuring blocks
EZS
300 ignition value Yes
316-controlled by diagnostics No.
496-speed vehicle with ignition on black means that it has been exceeded
520 ignition Yes
560-vehicle speed 0.0km
312-speed vehicle switching threshold, we also have black

ICM
we have the same blocks 312,496,560
if we want to open the roof it's locked in driving mode on the meter

That much could be determined

I summon this forum’s wizards to descend for a powwow on this peculiar marianno3000 problem.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
The only guess I can conjure up is that it's a bad vario roof controller.

I think you may be misinterpreting this status. At any rate, you should be looking at Actual values for the RVC controller; specifically, the prerequisites of the roof to operate.

I have two roof modules and the same on org and the other
the sensors are ok because I can open the roof with the remote control, if I open the roof with the remote control I will not close it with the same message using the button.
Maybe I will write a video from the diagnosis of Starka will be better seen. The point is that there is no information from can from any module, and the speed zero in each module.

If you have Star Diagnosis, then look at the statuses when the roof is inoperable.

I presume you are not using a SmartTOP module for remote operation.

Is this in fact the case? From your video it appears that the roof controller, ignition switch, and instrument cluster are all communicating on the Body (interior) CAN.

Hi again

Run a complete diagnostic check and tell me if you can see system diagnostics - mine has a ! mark and having checked everything I am begining to wonder if this is the source of the problem.

Can anyone explain what the difference between system diagnostics and central gateway is ?

pm me to chat and discuss further

I suppose you meant to type "can B fail". If so, you'll need to be more specific. Perhaps take a screenshot and post it.

I still need more information. On the screen showing the status of communications on the interior ("B" or "Body") CAN, what errors, if any, do you see?

Hi
on mine which has exactly the same fault

When you run the status of the interior can everything comes up as present, there are no can communication faults - I will get some more detailed information today and post it of tests and stuff - but only faults are with the system diagnostic module and drivers door switch.

Welcome to the new year, the seating error has been fixed, now zero errors in the entire car, but the problem remains.

Including the interior CAN?

In your video you turn the ignition key to different positions. At first you cut away from your PC to show the position of the key, but later you do not. Since the speed information is only valid with the ignition on, I can't tell if your PC is displaying valid information from the instrument cluster or not.

I suggest you re-shoot this video and have the ignition on the entire time.

If this were my car I would surely have to take it to an M-B dealer for a solution. But there are two things I would do first.

Presently you can not open the roof. I would manually open the roof and then see if you can close it without these errors. I would also drive with Star Diagnosis connected to see if the speed signals from the cluster and ignition switch are non-zero and accurately reflect the speed.
