Mercedes Code Retrieval

Accessing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

With Impulse Counter

  • With ignition switch On and shift lever in P/N position, connect impulse counter.
  • Depress Start button for at least two seconds but no more than four seconds, read codes.
  • Read codes until first code displayed appears again.
  • Codes will appear in ascending order.

With On-Off Ratio Readout

  • On models equipped with on board diagnostics, depress non-locking switch to convert control unit to read on-off readout ratio codes.
  • On all models, install on-off readout ratio tester to diagnostic socket.
  • Allow engine to idle and oil temperature to reach 140-176�F (60-80�C).
  • Read and record on-off readout ratio codes.

With Scan Tool

A hand-held tester can be connected to the underhood data link connector (DLC) X11/4 located at module box, or a generic scan tool can be connected to the generic connector X11/22 located in the tower edge of the instrument panel. To access diagnostic trouble codes, follow the tool manufacturer's instructions.

Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

With Impulse Counter

    • Complete required repairs resulting from recorded codes.
    • With impulse code displayed, wait two seconds then depress Start button for at least six seconds.
    • Each code must be erased individually.
    • If no number is displayed, then diagnostic trouble codes are erased from memory.
    • If code higher than one appears, codes are still stored in memory.

With Scan Tool

To clear DTC's, follow the scan tool manufacturer's instructions.
