Hi Guys,
Managed to get a few hours on the car this afternoon.
@ Smokie,
Thanks again for the reply, I'll bear that in mind when I get to sorting the boot but didn't want to get into fixing the boot too much today, so I just removed the lock barrell / push button and put a cable tie round the rod so I can open it manually, nice and easy whenever I want. Will do for now, until she runs :wink
The humming I could hear is not the PSE vac pump cutting in and out, the car is currently parked next to an air conditioned seafood warehouse, and it's their bloody fridge plant going on and off LOL, right nuisance this afternoon, as I was testing relays, listening for clicking etc.
I'm desperately trying to borrow a recovery truck or trailer, to get it back to my home workshop, but all my buddys are away stage rallying this weekend :frown
I found the Vac (PSE) must be working ok as the car is now locking off the key button, but didn't want to unlock all doors although I did get it to once, maybe needs 2 presses, or only unlocks driver door first, then the others when ignition goes on or some such, not sure how but it did unlock all doors once ??
Wish I had an owners book :laugh
ATM I'm more concerned with trying to get it to run :grin
@ Deplore,
I see your an SDS guru, I'm fairly new, only had it a little while, 2015 version with decent C3 Mux.
Perhaps you can you help with the codes I got, see if you agree with my thinking ??
I think you are right about needing Key ECU and EIS, does it really need the shifter as well ??
I only ask because not getting any errors on Shifter.
Other faults in other systems point to Engine ECU, plus some physical evidence, more of that in a min :wink
Initially sorted temp boot opening system, so I can keep a trickle charge on the car battery while testing to stop the Voltage going down.
Went straight at R/H Fusebox SAM, bridged Starter relay and she cranks like a good un, did a compression test, all great and nice and even :grin
Btw, mileage is only 38,xxx, according to SDS :smile
Next I bridged Air Compressor relay, that runs ok, horn relay, horn works ok, bridged both Engine Electronics relays and then cranked, but will not fire up :frown
Checked all relays for proper function, checked all fuses for proper continuity, not just visual, all OK.
Went to L/H Fusebox SAM, tested relays and fuses, all OK, same with under rear seat fuse box / SAM.
Never got to checking Dash fuses.......more on this in a min.......
Connected Snap On Solus (14.2) would not communicate with Engine or Auto Gearbox ECU, but went into SRS, no faults.
Cleared up debris of removed bits, back seat etc etc, boxed 'em all and put in van to take home, out of the way.
Had a look at ECU, not fitted in Electrics box correctly, and has marker pen on it stating CLK V8, like the breakers yards do, but it also has a sticker from "ECU Doctor" in London.
However, the guy I got car from swears it has been driven, albeit with a faulty gearbox, since this ECU was fitted........
I Dunno, he's a nice lad, known him a while, and he has no reason to lie to me, I'm not moaning I bought the car as a project knowing full well what I am getting into.
I have seen videos on U tube where ECU experts can remove the immobiliser chip from Mercedes original busted ECU and fit it into a secondhand ecu so car will then start ?????????
Was running out of time by now, but got the SDS fired up and this was very enlightening.
Front cigar lighter not working, beleive the fuse is in Dash fusebox, but couldn't find that yet, so plugged laptop charger into back door cig lighter. Is this the same fuse as ECU's are using as a reference voltage ??
Seem to remember earlier today that Auto Data said it was, will check later.
Could this be a reason for lack of communication with Engine ECU ??
I ask this because SDS won't ID car, asked me to manually input Chassis number and then "coded Engine ECU" with F5.
Read all other modules after this and after clearing some old codes, this is what I have left........
Auto Gearbox ETC :- P2063 Voltage Supply to Speed Sensors, won't clear, current code.
Not bothered about that for now, will sort trans when she's running, that's no sweat for me LOL
ESP:- C1504-009 Steering Angle Sensor Not Initialised. Also C1022-025 Can Com With Engine System Faulty.
won't clear, current codes.
Airmatic Suspension :- C1026-128 Steering Angle Sensor Not Initialised. Also C-1027-001 Can Com With Engine System Faulty. won't clear, current codes.
Engine ECU :- Star DAS will not communicate with it.
Now I'm thinking this is either because it's the wrong ECU, or if it has been "ECU Doctored" correctly, maybe there is a voltage missing, perhaps this Cigar Lighter Fuse / Circuit
Final code is in COMAND, but I think it's because the CD is not fitted in the boot, but I have it here ready to put back in when I'm allowed more time on the car :laugh:laugh:laugh:laugh:laugh
COMAND Code :- N1111-01 No Data Transfer Between D2B Master and D2B Component. Component At Location 1 Reports A Fault In D2B Ring.
Is this why I cant get Radio to switch on, and is it because the CD Player is not connected yet ??
What do you guys think, am I on the right track here and if it needs a S/H Engine ECU, I know the Immobilisers will be locked, so as well as Engine ECU and at least 1 key, prefer 2, what other parts have to be changed so she will start and run??
Once she runs, can the new second hand key(s) from another car be synched to the central locking / alarm on my car. If so how ??
Thanks in advance,
Cheers Dave
