Hey guys,
I have a 2002 Mercedes G500. So my transmission was is Limp mode and would go in and out occasionally. I took it to my local German specialist and he diagnosed it as a dead speed sensor #3. After ordering both a valve body and conductor plate. We changed the filter and gasket earlier today alongside the valve body and plate. The 13 pin connector is brand new as well. So after changing those out and adding oil, he told me that he was unable to reprogram the TCU due to the fact that his machine was unable to get a signal from the TCU. He told me that the only thing he thinks would fix it is the buying a new TCU which is going to cost an arm and a leg. Does anybody have any suggestions for what it could be? I do plan on getting it tomorrow and driving it home to see if the TCU is covered in oil. Any other ideas of what it could be? Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate it!
Also, the car is still in Limp mode supposedly.
Will unplugging the battery help at all?
