Every now and then the "display defective" warning on my 96 E320 will come on when starting. It has a picture of the rad. Coolant level is OK. Is it just telling me that the sensor for coolant level is busted??
my 2002 e320 shows 2 malfunctions when i start up.
display defective
and tele aid SOS.
does anyone have any idea what these indicate?
thanks
I have a 2002 E320 and a few weeks ago when I started the car I got the message on SOS/Teleaid saying not working to visit workshop. The red SOS light by the rear view mirrow wasn't on either but I tapped it a few times and the light came on and I cleared the malfunction and so far I haven't had the same issue. When I talked to my MB Service Advisor I told him what happened and he said not to worry about it that maybe the SOS/Teleaid sensor was going bad but since I don't use that service/SOS Teleaid not an issue. I think he could be one of those electrical gremlins that pops up every now and then. Personally I wish I could just have the SOS/Teleaid disabled from my car since it is just one more thing to go wrong. I have no plans to ever utilize it.
i have noticed some missing pixels in the display. these are the ones where it says P for Park, D for drive etc.
I wonder if this is what triggered the defective display message.
I am not sure whether to live with the missing pixels or to change the display.
i guess that will depend on the dollars to pixel ratio.
