MB II owners, could you check your SBC voltages?

I can't seem to find any info on what the supply voltage for 054 and 055 should be?

That scanner is great for bicycles but not for MB's

not at all. Yours is a valid question asked by someone who wants to learn.

thanks, was just checking lol. I honestly have no idea if these voltages are low, or normal. I have charged the main battery even though its only a couple months old (car was sitting over winter). also, replaced the SBC battery with a brand new AGM, was over 13V when it arrived, and these are the results

Are you trolling? Because the point Plutoe is making is very much a valid one. Use STAR/DAS/XENTRY or find someone that has one. Generic codes are generic.

Surely you must be trolling.
The Benz specific iCarsoft ll scanner is made for mercedes and can read codes that the usual OBD scanners can't access, whether that's body codes, transmission, ABS brakes, etc. The ability to turn off the SBC brakes so the owner can safely work on the system is a nice perk too, and you can do all that for well under $200 and not worry about dropping a laptop. Granted, the full STAR/Xentry is way more capable but I doubt you have one knocking around in your trunk.

Plutoe's post was not just unhelpful, it was uncalled for. It's a given that he's knowledgeable in these cars. It's great when he chooses to share his wealth of knowledge with us, the poor peons who've never worked at a dealership nor had the advantage of the training that Mercedes bestows upon their techs. That said, if he doesn't have anything useful to contribute then he has zero need to insult the OP. I'm certainly guilty of participating in threads where I have nothing useful to offer, but I also don't **** on the OP (unless he's trolling). There's no need.

The "point" Plutoe made is very much not a valid one. I'm sure you know this. Nice troll though.

Edit: I doubt the OP's scanner will work on a bicycle. Just say'n.

+1 I have one and you can access all of the systems STAR can for codes, read transmission temperature, live stream certain data, disable SBC etc. My latest use was to check for AC codes. No you can't do coding, you still need DAS.

I haven't seen many bicycles with an OBD2 port either. There are plenty of helpful posts from Plutoe, there are many condescending ones too.

this isn't even really a code I'm asking about.. lol. the voltages it shows, I'm just wondering if those are normal

I don't have a good reference car to compare with, and can't seem to find the specs for what they should be. my gut tells me their low but honestly I have no idea

was hoping there was at least 1 other person with a MB II on here that could check for me

Having the same problem with the low voltage readings... Have you come across any answers what would be considered normal or maybe even a remedy?😵‍💫🤞🙏
