Awesome video...everything explained clearly for those like me who are clueless but capable! I currently have ecu that wont communicate on a clk w209 220cdi....how can I identify the positives and grounds on this ecu?

@iRepairAutos 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! You would need to access the pin out schematics. Or.... run a voltmeter across the array of pins one by one until you find the positive. The negative can be harder to find as there may be multiple grounds. What symptoms, errors are you getting? Im really curious about this one. Pinning to the top.

iRepair Autos Hi love your vids there informative and you dont get overly technical with your talks. Im looking for some advice,i live in Britain and ive bought a 1999 slk 230 kompressor as my project car to fix up and modify. I wanted to be hands and on do everything myself,im not experienced so ive been searching for an all systems obd11 scanner that can read all the systems on my 1999 slk. Also my obd port isnt in the car its in the engine bay situated next to the k40 relay box is. The obd port is a circle not rectangular like a normal obd port. I bought an adapter thats round one end and rectangular the other end. Please could you recommend an all systems obd scanner that reads all the systems so it cuts out the guess work! I'd really appreciate your advice as im going nuts chasing my tail. If you cant thanks anyway your vids are a great help! 👍

Hello, your videos are very comprehensive, informative and spot on accurate in tackling repairs that would otherwise cost an arm and a leg if left to dealership service departments or unscrupulous shops. Thanks for doing what you do. I have owned a 2005 E320, which has been cared for exceptionally by me, and has never seen a “check engine” light until recently. Last October, my daughter got into a small fender bender (no activation of airbags), but damage to front driver side corner (light and bumper damage). Took it to recommended GEICO shop, but due to age and mileage, they wrote it off as total loss. Since car ran perfectly, I decided to fix the damage myself. When I got the car back, I got ESP, SRS, ABS and check engine light issues all at once. The car now does not shift properly (up or down), and at times fails to go into manual shift. Its almost as if the entire system was short circuited. Any advice would be appreciated.

I really appreciate your time in doing these videos, I know its not easy to shoot a video and make a living at the same time! I have an 04 G Wagon AMG 55, great car, I really love it! My ABS light came on and I replaced the stop light switch and tried the steering wheel calibration trick but as soon as I touch the brake pedal the ABS light would come back on. I checked the brake lights and my third brake light was out, checked the fuses and I had a 5 amp blown going to the third brake light and ta da! The switch failed and blew the fuse, just an FYI, I got lucky!

Worth mentioning that I did this repair on a CLA today (rear right wheel) and you need to remove the wheel arch cover to access the plug. You can do it by removing 6 x 10mm plastic bolts from the arch itself and 2 x 10mm metal bolts on the underside (right of the wheel arch). Really easy job but I had to clear all error code to get them to stay off.

Thanks for uploading this video. Following your advice, I bought an iCarsoft OBD monitor on eBay and it detected a bad left rear speed sensor on my 2001 C320. Other OBD scanners detect the error code but don't tell you which one. Instead of having to check all four of them, I ended up only having to replace one of them. On the 2001 model, the speed sensor cable connects to a bulkhead above the rear differential. Not as easy to remove the cable, but was able to do it. For some reason, the iCarsoft OBD won't clear error codes. So I used another OBD device to clear the error code. Check engine light cleared after driving it a bit and later on, the car passed emissions testing.

Twice before I could make it home. Some told me it may be the same thing in this video but I am not sure because by the end of the day I have also been told it could be other things such as the auxiliary battery, gear shift, transmission and I’m not sure. Before paying for diagnostic testing, I would love to know what do you think it is!!

Hi, My Mercedes CLA220 started with wheel tyre pressure light.. now all lights are on. My mechanic said I need to change the ABS Sensor and he said would need to be from BOSCH maker. I can’t find BOSCH anywhere. Dealer wants to charge me €500 for the sensor and said I need to change the wheel bearing (which my mechanic said there’s no need) I ll give a try and buy the one you have under your video!

Hello Sir. The Vids are not only informative, but are delivered with a nice calm and empowering tone. Like it !!! I have a Q for you...........My ESP appears on the dash screen and it keeps putting my 2002 MBZ C320 (W203 - it is an 18 year old wagon that normally has a very solid engine) into a state of limbo. I can be going along, and then the transmission disengages and my car engine goes into idle - just like that.........it causes me to have to pull over, stop, turn off engine and then restart, which always clears up the ESP......until next time........which can occur several times within a few minutes or miles, and then it will happen rarely for a while......CRAZY and stressful, as my wife is now scared to drive the car in case it leaves her and the kids idling in traffic, or at a turn or at a light.......Any help / tips / knowledge ?? Please...........I have not worked for 6 weeks and am trying to fix at home if possible.
