      Hi. I changed my suspension compressor of my 2010 GL550. Unfortunately there was a moment I started the engine without taken out the electric relay and the fuse.
      The engine never run right again. The engine shut off as soon as it start.
      I diagnosed it with OBDII and gave me (error code 6001).
      I changed the Alternator and belt.

      My 2nd diagnosis gave my mechanic (error code P2289)
      Can you please advise what might be the problem.
      My mechanic said the problem is (Cam Signal circuit 15) He told me I have to tow it to MB dealership for compressor
      To reprogramming. Please I'm waiting for your response.
      Thanks in advance.

    Do you think that Is that a problem with the ignition. I tested the battery and the battery and alternator and starter and giving good readings.

    • @Greg_Gatsby
      @Greg_Gatsby Рік тому

      Your car likely has a fuel cutoff switch (inertia switch) that can trip even in a minor collision. The purpose of this safety switch is to stop the flow of fuel in case the fuel line is damaged in the accident. All that is needed is to reset the switch by pushing a reset button. The big problem is finding that inertia switch to reset it. I’m here for that same reason.

    Thanks for this engine start video. Unfortunately this video didn't speak of my problem with my 2010 slk 300. Most of the time my start will work with no problem. Only at times my key not start my engine but would activate all dash lights indicating that it will start but nothing happens to engine not turning over. At first I thought it could be the battery since the age was there so I replaced the battery. Couple weeks later the car still had the issue so I replaced the start relay thinking it could be faulty relay. This did not fix my issue. Because it only does this once in while I thought I should wait till it fails completely. I have tried different keys thinking it could be one of the keys. It's been two to three year issue now. If any suggestions. I will appreciate any of your comments.

    So maybe a bit of ideas from you, I have a 2008 e350 that ended with timing concerns, sourced a replacement engine for it, but upon installation, car cranks but no start. First crank of the day it pops over for a split second then just cranks with no attempt. If you leave it sit for 5 or 6 hours and try again you get the same single attempt to fire but that's it. Have fuel, have at least rudimentary spark, replaced camshaft and crank sensors already to no avail, very odd things happening though, Everytime I plug a scanner in to get codes or data stream, there's always new or different dilemas. Keep in mind I am a master tech of over 20 years and own a fleet of picky cars, several sprinters, e class, s class, jaguars, corvettes, etc so I'm relatively familiar with European vehicles being finicky, but this one makes me want to burn it for a campfire. Lol. Any thoughts

    • @MercedesBenzTechs
      @MercedesBenzTechs  2 місяці тому

      @@robertm8966 few questions, 1. You’re using the original engine control unit right? 2. was the engine that you installed a good engine? 3. Did you do compression test or a leak down on the new engine prior to installation? 4. is the fuel in the car good? 5. was the computer for the engine control unit prior to removing and installing the new engine good? 6. are you getting drive authorization from all theft related parts?
      You need 4 basic things for combustion, fuel, compression, spark and exhaust, if they’re all timed correct, the engine should be running

We decided to close up the head cover and try it out before completing finalizing. The car stopped cranking, and many issues with Canbus communication issues ecu,tcu, and so on. The main fuse box was replaced in the same situation. All fuses are good, and the battery is good. Gear shift no moving from parking to neutral and not indicated on the dash. The dashboard comes live at position 2 but no crank. Tried replacing and the gear shift, no result. Any ideas?

If I stop for maybe 10 mins it doesn't have the false start. But for maybe over 30mins stops it will do that. Do you think it might be my key ignition sensor (key transponder immobilizer) or maybe the gas pump is not pulling enough gas to help it start on the 1st try? Thanks!

    Last night i went to start my 2005 Mercedez ML350 , and when i turned the key to turn the engine, I had a complete loss of power. Its as if the battery was not there. I thought maybe the battery was dead, so i went to recharge it. When i put on the positive cable, all power was restored. I went to start the car, and it came on. So i removed the charger, and let it run. after letting it run for two minutes, it would make a flicker sound as if it was going to shut off. I turned off, and tried to turn on the car, again, all power would be lost.
    This morning as i was getting ready to remove the battery, I removed the positive cable for about two minutes while i was on the phone. Then i thought, maybe the computer was not letting me start the car due to a self anti theft system. I put the plus cable back on with no charger. Alas! The car started right up. I turn the car on and off several times and now i have no problem. The computer must have reset. I still plan to go get the battery, and alternator checked out at auto zone. I hope this helps someone.

    I need help have a problem with my mercedes c180 sport coupe 2007..
    It's not cranking, I've checked all the fuses and relays and all seems fine, the battery is only a few months old.. ive been advised that the problem is starter motor.
    The car won't jump start from booster park but will push start...
    The whole problem started wen I left the lights on and drained the battery,
    I jump started it with leads and took it for a 40 min drive, I turned it off then started it again with the key., and it started fine. So I turned it off again.. I went into the shops came out 15 mins later, I went to start it and nothing happened, didn't start .. so I push started it, drove it home and left it running for 30 mins then turned it off. And it hasn't started with the key or with jump leads since..
    And wen I push started it the next day I've had a notification message on dashboard, abs and srs unavailable pls see owners manual..
    And I have an abs Amber light come up on dashboard..

      Bad fuel, bad spark plug, starter is going bad, battery is weak MAF meter, intake air leak, camshaft position sensor, worn out engine(low compression) those are just few.

I started it by jumping the starter relay with a wire, but put a non mercedes relay in its place attempting to fix it but got some sparks, now I can't jump it with a wire anymore and it still doesn't start... I get an error message, " take key from ignition" what would you advice my next move to be?

    Good day. I got a B200Turbo 2007 with 240000km on. I have tried several things. The car starts immediately then just stall again. The engine light will flash and it will stall and then try automatically to adjust it self and then just stall. The engine light don't stay on. The funny thing is when you tried it several times and the radiator fan comes on at high speed the car will start and idle perfectly. No problems while driving even at high speed like 180km and stop and go in traffic. It gets even worst when the car is hot and you switch it off and leave it for a couple of minutes when you want to start it again it starts immediately and stall again. I have cleaned the throttle body, I changed the coolant temperature sensor I have changed the fuel pump relay and checked all fuses. I have also changed the spark plugs they are expensive and you basically have to strip everything, a hell of a mission. The temperature gauge stays around the middle on 80 so that seems right. Cold start is 99% ok but when you crank it it gives a bit of a hard rev and the stabilize there after. I get a P0605 error code. Any idea what else it can be?

    Hello, first of all, great video. This just happened to my 2007 GL450 today. I was on vacation for one month. Came back the car start fine. Drove to two different places after 25 miles. Parked the car and then it started for a few second and engine stop after I put on reverse gear. From then on, car won’t crank up. Just quite. Key has communication with ignition. I believe battery is good. Jump start won’t even work. I didn’t have a chance to check the starter relay. Wish I saw your video first. I saw the crank shaft codes after the scan. Now the car is in the shop waiting to hear back on Monday and hope it is not something serious. Couple questions, do you think it has anything to do with transmission? If it is really crank shaft, would it be serious issue. Does parking the car for so long contribute to this issue? I assumed so since it was fine before I leave. Thank you in advance for your time.

    • @MercedesBenzTechs
      @MercedesBenzTechs  5 років тому +1

Now he said the car won't accelerate so it is not drivable. Couple years ago, i had to change Transmission control unit because the car stall and in LIM mode. I sure hope i don;t have to do that again :(

    My 02 ml320 busted a brake line. It sat for 3 weeks. We got the brake line replaced and it wouldn't start. It threw a "start error" I undid the positive post for a few days to reset the computer. It then would start and die like in theft mode. I noticed my red led light that shows the ecu is reading the key was not blinking. So I went to a Mercedes dealership to order a new key. They said they didn't make the flip style any more and it was like a valet key. No chip is visual. Tried it...still get a start error. I had it hooked up to 3 scan tools...only thing it showed was something with the transmission. I figured maybe where I was baking out of my driveway not fast at all...that's when the brake line busted and it scared me so I threw it in park. I left it running and went and got my bf and he drove it back down the driveway and that's where its sat since August. I should have told you all that when I told you in the beginning about the brake line busting. Can you please help me out!? I'm hoping I don't have to but a new computer, ecu and immobilizer along with the matching key.

      T C L start with basics, balance wheels first, make sure tires and rims are good, rotate wheels and see if vibration travels to other side, check CV axles, check rear differential, make sure wheels are tight on hubs. I think that should get you started

    You had a chance and missed out on it last time. So heres another chance. Mercedes w204 c220 customer got me round to change front sam unit. I did and using Xentry tried to program new one. The screen with adaptions was not there though. Instead it says either no power or the unit not intended for that car. The fuse box is sending power through it though. The ECM is on and live data showing. Customer said car indicators and lights doing weird stuff. That in my view is not the front sam but the back. Anyway, scanning both Sams they are not on. So I think rear was the faulty and the front not. Only also read if changing front sam up to 2010 the sam needs a jumper cable on it.
