Many of us have seen this procedure in the forums for years, but does it really do anything?
Post your results below!
IMO, the adaptation are calculated overs hundreds of miles of driving. This procedure works, but it doesn't set everything to default, instead it likely deletes history and begins the learning a new. Check it out!

It does work and you can feel it without a tool. Drive your car a bit with speed and high rpm, then the car will always want to go the same way and burn more fuel too, more than before even in economy. Stop the car, do the reset and you are back to lower rpms and fuel. Also you don't need 2 minutes, 10 seconds is enough

Funny u say that about the oil I did mine a month ago I actually think mine takes longer but I do notice better low rpm response lol I’ll pay more attention… and omg put catless down pipes on this 9 year old cls63 and all 4 bolts broke in manifold but the worst is those MFN top two O2 plug I mean god FN damn.

Another superb video and properly tested too as always. Great work Ken. I already did this as had a few jerky 3rds and what I had gleaned was the below from uTube videos but from now on keeping the throttle down for the two minutes. Thank you Ignition to Position 2 (warning lights on) Don’t start engine Full throttle depression for 10 secs + Key back to position 0 Release throttle Wait for 2 mins with key in Start and drive for 15 mins

@terryttk1 2 ай бұрын

Good point. Opinions seem to differ on whether to continue holding down the throttle after the key goes back to position 0 and while then waiting for the two minutes...

@hookahspot8973 2 ай бұрын

Keep up the good work bud, when ever you have time can you make a video showing how to adjust ride height, I would like to have it sitting a bit lower on comfort mode without changing the springs or changing the dynamics of the ride in general. Hopefully you can do that, I appreciate all your effort that goes into this

@ExoticCarDIY 2 ай бұрын

If you have an e550 or any of the models with air springs, you can either lower it with a computer, or lowering links. If you have an e63, there's no getting around it you have to change the front steel coils. I have videos on how to lower the E63, both with h&r springs, mine is currently sitting on KW coilovers

@ryanvogel9786 Ай бұрын

on my GLE 63s I done the manual way, which didn't feel like even worked. Then used our snapon triton d10 (has adaptation reset for the trans) which definitely made it feel like everything reset. I attributed it to me doing the manual method inaccurately.

@ExoticCarDIY - Thanks so much for another awesome W212 E63 video! This is a great topic that from what I can see has never been resolved on the various forums as to whether the reset procedure works or not. Your detailed experiment suggests that it does. I just wonder if driving the car as you did might have changed the adaptation data whether you had done the reset or not. Did you check the values after the reset but before driving?

@ExoticCarDIY 2 ай бұрын

It's an interesting topic and interesting procedure, definitely has a lot of controversy and questions surrounding it. One thing I do know is it 100% works. But what it actually does is still debatable. Imo, the adaptations are compiled over thousands of miles at some point new data doesn't affect the current adaptations very much just because there's so much historical data that it is averaging. What I believe the procedure does is not a race everything, but instead, it made me believe the previous historical data, and allows it to begin the relearn process anew But yes, I checked the parameters immediately after the procedure and they were the same.

@terryttk1 2 ай бұрын

@@ExoticCarDIY Your explanation makes sense to me and many who've used the key/accelerator reset report dramatic changes. The other DIY method discussed on the forums is unhooking the battery for an hour or so. One guy who claims to be a shop foreman at a Mercedes dealer say that's the only method that works besides using Xentry. I wonder if the battery method immediately changes the parameters before driving...

@chrisgallimore9083 18 күн бұрын

Thanks for sharing all your tips. I'll try this. Question about brief rattling when starting up warm engine. Sounds like oil starvation for a few seconds but it's not low on oil. What would cause that?

@ExoticCarDIY 18 күн бұрын

Unfortunately that's very common, especially in the 12-14 models. Mercedes claims it's simply an annoyance and not harmful. It's the timing chain tensioners. Early m157 had no check valves and so they would allow the oil to drain out of the tensioner. So on startup it takes two or three seconds for oils to tighten the chain. Then the tensioners themselves are insufficient and have gone through several revisions. There are tsb documents and many forum posts on this for further reading

Yo dude you ever hear of any of these transmissions not shifting into park sometimes? I have to manually park sometimes by opening the door, or shutting off the engine. Fire back up she’s fine. Doesn’t happen all the times but often. She shifts beautiful, but could it be a weird computer issue?

I've seen several post on the form about this, I think it's almost always related to the actual button you're pressing on your shifter. I wonder if they can be cleaned or something otherwise I think you just have to replace the part that includes the button
