  • PARDON THE AUDIO, LOWER VOLUME !!!! Took video with my cell phone when testing TCU. It's either this video or nothing :) Would not reopen TCU after sealing it.
    The main power regulating chip number is 4267G. SOP package. This is very common problem with W220 S-class cars. Leaves block the drain by windshield and water enters into computer box and enters computers. Also, transmission fluid can also enter TCU damaging it. In my case car will not crank over. Main ME computer was also bad. Opened it and cleaned very well and it started to work, thank God. Very problematic to replace it as it's married to the car. After ME-computer started to work Star Diagnostic showed that drive authorization is a go but car still would not crank over. There was no communication with TCU with Star Diagnostic, no indication of which gear the car in on instrument cluster. So ME computer would not know which gear transmission is in and position of starter lock out switch inside transmission conductor plate. I tried two other computers from ML430 and 2002 S500. Both showed on Star Diagnostic as "Unknown Unit", car still would not crank but on cluster display came up showing which gear the car is in. So I attempted to repair original TCU, part number 0225455132. While checking voltages there was 5 volts on small power regulator on the right. But on main power regulator 4267G had pin1-12 volts in(correct), pin2-10.8 out(correct), pin3-0.8 out(should be 4.9 volts), pin4 ground(correct), pin5-0(should be around 3volts), pin6-ground(correct), pin7-0.8(should be 4.9volts). So no power would go to processor and other chips. Replaced power regulator with spare that came out of 97 Mercedes C280 TCU with damaged board. All readings came up correctly and voltages were detected on all chips. Plug it to the car, still no start before TCU had all codes erased with Star Diagnostic. Star had ALL codes possible stored into TCU, I had to scroll down the page. After all erased car started right up!
    These TCUs are available from junk yards and not that expensive. I actually ordered one from junk yard but it didn't come in yet and I already repaired mine in the mean time. That power regulator should not cost a lot and maybe this info helps someone. I could not find ANY info on repairing this TCU except for cleaning it with contact cleaner as either water or transmission fluid enters TCU and damages it.
    I'm sure I can find and replace chips in these TCUs but probably cannot test them completely as they are different for different cars. If someone is interested you can mail me your bad unit and I can try to repair it. if it works we can work out the price for repair. Some TCUs are hard to find and Mercedes will charge small fortune for one brand new. Visit my site at www.RestoreYourMercedes.com and email me with inquiries. I do not check TH-cam videos much.
    Good luck

    I mess with things, make them work, and learn from it :) Most of the times it works. Just started one hurricane Sandy flooded 06 Cadillac DTS. Water was up to side mirrors but not inside the motor, lucky. Struggled with anti-theft and still have some issue with shifter release. Body computer was all corroded. Cleaned it up, re-soldered few solder points. Car runs and drives. Now to all other minor things-windows, seats, lights, radio, etc. I'll bring it back to life...

    Looked every where for an answer towards why my p r n d marker on my dash was gone and came upon this video. I own a 02 MB s430, changed the injectors, spark plugs and cables, starter and starter relay, and as soon it was cleared up and ready to drive my dashboard was missing the transmission marker. But now that I came across this video, I now know that I need a new module.

    Nice to have that info. My sun roof on my 2000 ML430 was left partially open during a heavy rain and now I have only 1st gear and neutral. The indicator shows 'R' while the transmission is in low gear.
    Also, I can put it in Park if I turn off the car. Then I can access Reverse but after going to Neutral I can't return to R or P unless I again turn off the motor.
    Coasting in N works but when I go to D a LOUD cluck and that was scary but seems to have no harm. I am lost as to what to do!

    Unfortunately, in my case power chip was not giving out any power so it was burned. Before replacing the chip I cleaned whole board, brush some flux on, and heat board with hot air blower set to around 350 celsius. All water was gone and some solder points in question were re-heated nice.
    Today I took one TCM out and there was transmission fluid almost up to the top of it. Luckily, TCM didn;t burn out, transmission shifted fine and car started fine. Just drained fluid out and cleaned the board.

    Easy to solder on. Harder to remove. Use fine solder iron tip, like 2mm or so, and you will be fine. Had solder iron set to around 30 watts of power and used very fine solder rosin. And I brush on flux so solder will not leak to other terminals and short them. If it happens you can use desolder braid to remove solder and start over. No big deal.

    Hi Viktor thanx for this great video, I have the same module(TCM), I did check the voltage as you advice in the video, from left pin to right pin should read 12v, 10v, 5v, Ground, 3v, Ground, 5v. right? but mine is reading from left to right pin 12.668v, 11.966v, 4.964v, Ground, 3.221v, Ground, 4.966v. I know there is 5 to 10% margin of error on the multimeter but the pin #2 left to right seems to have to much margin of error since you advice to be 10v it's the chip bad or something is wrong beside the chip? actually the small chip left to right pin reads 4.799v, and 12.641v I bench tested the TCM with a 12v 2 amps battery charger, please I will appreciate your help thank you and keep up the good work Sr. !

      It is in Limp mode. That is what it does when you can't communicate with the TCU or EGS. I just poured water out of my costumers S500 TCU today. I called the dealer, they are only remans now and the part is almost $1,300. I am sending out to be rebuilt for $250.
