3 questions about DAS:ECU invalid coding,VMAX coding options, no link to some modules

Hi,

I'm trying to get to grips with DAS (C3 multiplexer) and my SL65. I would be grateful if anyone could help with the following:

1) When I read the coding for the ECU, I get a pop-up saying "as least one coding setting is invalid. Check and correct coding setting." I'm assuming it didn't come from the factory with incorrect coding, so a previous owner must have incorrectly changed something. Question: Is there anyway in DAS to revert to the original/factory/proper coding, to clear this error?
2) Which is the correct option from my VMAX list to remove the speed limiter? The posts I have seen online all show a list of various speeds, including 300kph. 250kph is my highest option, along with options for "Matrix nicht belegt" and "nicht belegt" repeated 3 times
3) A couple of modules reported "Error during initializing - No link could be established between the diagnosis gateway and the control unit" including the electronic ignition and rear SAM. The suggestion is that the battery could be too low. Where can I check the battery voltage and what is the minimum allowable so I can check whether that's the cause?






Thanks in advance

I've looked at the engine ECU coding on three different vehicles and they all give the error message you got. I presume your coding is original and correct.

The battery voltage is displayed at the top-right corner of your screen. Any voltage 11 or higher should be fine. It may work considerably lower, but I have never determined the limit.

just write this down here for others after I looked into your ecus with Xentry/DAS

1) When I read the coding for the ECU, I get a pop-up saying "as least one coding setting is invalid. Check and correct coding setting." I'm assuming it didn't come from the factory with incorrect coding, so a previous owner must have incorrectly changed something. Question: Is there anyway in DAS to revert to the original/factory/proper coding, to clear this error?

Only way is to find the exact same model and year, have someone print his variant settings out
or
Go to the Dealer and get him SCN code it to stock
or
ask me to SCN code it online (only possible on a NON chinese Xentry 2019.07 software or later as noone want to code online anymore with Chinese manipulated Xentry as a TROJAN seems to steal our login and pass when connected )

2) Which is the correct option from my VMAX list to remove the speed limiter? The posts I have seen online all show a list of various speeds, including 300kph. 250kph is my highest option, along with options for "Matrix nicht belegt" and "nicht belegt" repeated 3 times

this is a tuned ECU solution is "Matrix nicht belegt" or if you can't get over 300km/H any other "nicht belegt"


3) A couple of modules reported "Error during initializing - No link could be established between the diagnosis gateway and the control unit" including the electronic ignition and rear SAM. The suggestion is that the battery could be too low. Where can I check the battery voltage and what is the minimum allowable so I can check whether that's the cause?

Found many Can settings and more wrong, someone messed around with your variants or swapped modules without coding them
also possible a IMMO off filter is hooked up
Only way is to find the exact same model and year, have someone print his cariant settings out
or
Go to the Dealer and get him SCN code it to stock
or ask me to SCN code it online (only possible on a NON chinese Xentry 2019.07 software or later as noone want to code online anymore with Chinese manipulated Xentry as a TROJAN seems to steal our login and pass when connected )

Thanks, both of these are good to know!

Thank you for taking the time to look at my setup! Sorry about the connectivity issues, thank you for your patience. Was nice to 'virtually' meet you :-)
