W168 "Start Error" P1570 - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

Brian Hemming · 12-09-2006, 04:55 AM

Hi Guys - First time post on this forum
This car quit in a parking lot and was recovered to my premises.
Central locking not working via remote and also inop. via manual door lock. When ignition switched on "Start Error" displayed on instrument cluster and starter motor inoprerative. Retrieved code P1570 (Intermittant non start-immobiliser module). Additionally, the red LED to the right of the steering wheel is inoperative (Right Hand Drive). Only one key available for this vehicle so unable to rule out key at this point. Any clues?

Your start immobilizer has failed. This a recurrent problem on the 163 chassis, I think the 168 shares it the same technology.

Happy Benzing!!!

Apperently it is the "ring" around the igniton barrel which is faluty.

i am haven a problem with my ML 350... Start Error.... can someone help me out with the solution.... i will be glad to hear from someone

I am having the similar issues as Jumijon. Mechanic says definitely need DAS but hasnt been able to tell me exactly what he has done to verify isnt just a key problem. HELP!!

I don't know exactly what all of the symptoms my car has just yet but want to be prepared with the information/knowledge so I can know if/what he tells me it is or isnt doing so I can be comfortable with I am being told is needed.

What I do know....

Stalled at stop light
Battery died while trying to crank multiple times to get started
Mechanic said no fuel pressure so replaced Pump and Filter
Per mechanic now has pressure but starts then dies in 30 seconds
Only code is P1570

What else I would like to know......

Does the "Start Error" mean key or DAS?
Does the LED not working mean key or DAS?
How do you know for sure it is an actual DAS and not just a bad key?

Thanks!

The ring has nothing to do with it, it see my post for start error, it is to with the wsp and ecu not communicating, main dealers cant fix this , they will sell you another ecu etc, after charging you for the privalige of plugging it in, DAS is the Diagnosis Assistance System, If you want more help give me a shout,

Normaly the AAM & EAAM need to be coded to accept the new or existing key , the dealer has a star diagnostic which would be able to test the key and possibly re sync it with the AAM or if your vehicle has an EAAM as well

Don't forget also that there is a re-synchonising procedure that the owner can carry out on remote keys , it's in your W168 manuals and on my site it's certainly worth a try before you get stitched up by MB for diagnostic tests etc.
