My first post after I have been searching for a few days. This is a 2004 S500 4matic. Code is 9183 for the drivers buckle ETR squib resistance too high. I scanned it with the icarsoft MBII. Is shows a DTC status as stored. Should it say current and stored? This scanner does not seem to be able to clear these codes?

I pulled the seat belt buckle assembly and sent to MyAirBags in Georgia. They tested and said nothing wrong with it.

The squib wires are the two seperate ones in the yellow plug (yellow/black & yellow/red correct?

any advice??

Squib = small explosive (?) device to tighten seat belt in a collision. Be careful.

I use the Mercedes DAS. If it showed the code as STORED, I would clear it and see if it came back. If not, I would do nothing until the DTC reappeared.

No idea what icarsoft does.

I got it figured out. I unplugged the squib and scanned it again. It then showed current & stored for the error. After plugging it back in the code went back to just stored. That told me my icarsoft MB II was not powerful enough to clear the code. I took it to a local shop that used and Autel scanner to clear it. All is good now.

That is why every owner who want's to work on these Cars needs £400 SDS Machine, because it is THE BEST at that price range

Could you point me at the info or thread to purchase the SDS stuff? I'm working on a 2009 E350 now with a bunch of SRS codes

There is no one way to get it, search Ali Express and search on this forum, read our stickies, there has also been recent threads here discussing current vendors with the odd recommendation by guys in USA.
