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?
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! 👍
@@iRepairAutos I have a similar problem as reported. Unfortunately, Infinitpossibilities hasn't returned with an update. I'm going to do a voltmeter test and get back to you on this
Mercedes dealer charged me 600$ for one ABS sensor replacement...that’s the reason why I’m here; learning to do it by myself. Thanks for sharing and hope you the best.
Very helpful. My car "decided" to come to an abrupt stop while I was doing 40 miles per hour. I was almost rear-ended by a car driving at least that fast. Frightening. Greatly appreciate the information. Subscribed!
Great video..clear info..off to do mine now..thanks.. UPDATE...Well just fixed mine...Sometime in the past the wires had rubbed on the prop shaft....worn through one of the wires...cut and resoldered the black n white wires in the one black casing(looks like one big black wire) couple of meters down the road and my abs ,stability control and traction control lights all disappeared of the dash..I'm so happy..thanks again for your video.
You sir are a great contribution to society and your style of teaching is up with few others of the best I have seen! I am proud to recommend your channel to anyone interested in advancing their knowledge of who knows their stuff and is willing to give freely to others such as myself . Thank you sincerely.
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.
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.
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.
Just found your channel and pleased to see that your a actual knowledgeable MB Tech & not another shadetree or owner :) Well done video and great explanation of procedure's.
Love the video! Thanks for sharing. Question - have you ever experienced a faulty sensor causing the car to automatically apply the brakes without driver input? I've just bought an ML350 and this is happening to me now and it's definitely not fun!
First thing I would like to say is YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I just bought a 2011 GL450 2 weeks ago last week coming home from work I got an ABS, ESP unavailable and then the car slowed to a crawl (15mph)found your video, plug my icarsoft up found witch ones were bad (both rear sensors)change them out and BAM! problem solved...thanks ounce again for your video.
Hi repair Autos, thank you for the test process, 95 R129 had cruise issues, now occasional ETS & ABS lights on. Watched several of your videos and found them helpful, will give you the results, thanks again.
I subscribed...so I can keep my eyes on you...Very informative videos for Mercedes Benz owners with precise how to do it right! I own a @005 E500 and have used your videos lately for a slew of repairs. Thanks DBD
Just bought the scanner as my G55 has an ABS light and my new offroad tires are about 110lbs each. Also can't wait to use this on my E63 to track down some gremlins! Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much I have a 2004 clk 320 and I just ordered my sensor replacements. I feel like I can change them myself. Since Bakersfield mechanics seem not interested in fixing it.
Good thing I saw this video. I got this issue ABS inoperative. Using the OBD2 scanner, found out that the left sensor is out. But before I replace anything, does all Mercedes have the same wheel speed sensor position? I'm using the B180 2018 model.
Hey thank you for the info, my 95 R129 had an ignition wiring harness replacement, lost my cruise control and now will assume one of the speed sensors is interfering with cruise control, very nice video !!
Great tutorial video Keith. Very easy to follow and understand. I recently had to do this repair and great to know the backup method using the multi-meter. Happy to have found your channel and subscribed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks for comprehensive videos. I have a 2007 clk350 convertible 120k miles Oregon UAS. Was driving fine and over certain the engine just died. There was a message something inoperative not sure what it was. The car now no crank no start & no messages on the dash. Need your help please.
Excellent video, thank you!! do you know if bad abs sensor would cause stalling while driving, i have a sprinter stallings showing the esp light, trying to see what to check... thanks for any input!!!
I can't say thank you enough for your Channel. Hey with my E320 you have saved me a lot of money I want to thank you for your detailed presentations that not only show how, you teach why things happen.
Hi. Your video is very useful. Now that I have learned how diagnose rear speed censor, I found out that the wiring was the problem. Do I replace the whole wiring? Or check for connection? It is a complicated wiring together with the abs joined in one. If replacement needed, I can’t find any seller for the whole entire wiring? Any recommendations? Thanks Appreciate totally your videos.
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! Thank you so much
Its not " like a generator" creating a voltage or current, its a series of hall effect devices allowing current directly from the ECU to detect the prescence of pulses during wheel rotation. !!😂
Thank you I was about to sell my MB/ ML 450 /2009 for 8000 once I saw your video I fix that problem boom it sold 15k thanks alot. I from Miami... where you at?
ALWAYS GREAT VIDS! I have a 2006 ML500 that I managed to get into an "Active Brake Test" with my carsoft 2 scanner.....and now with the constant red warning light and a code reading #5410 active test. When I re-enter my scanner to brake reset/test it takes my vehicle info but then tells me it does not apply to my vehicle. Do you have a video for this or can you recommend a solution? Much appreciated.
I had to grind some rust/metal away to get the new sensor seated properly in the rear. Took three tries but now the light is out! omg ..... Mercedes Sprinter love and hate. Only light left is the SRS. 2011 Sprinter 3500 dually with 255,000 miles
Would this help if when I’m accelerating the passenger front wheel locks. I replaced the brake wear sensor and purchased abs sensors but never got them put on
Hello, I have a c200 kompressor sportcoupe year 2002 and sometime it marks ESP stability electrical system. Could it be a sensor or the angle of rotation? Thank you
Hello, i have a Mercedes CLK w209 and if i watch live data on my obd scanner of speed sensors they show 0,59 km/h with the car in park and not moving . i have no codes regarding abs . i also mention that the transmission acts weird a little bit
I have a 2016 sprinter van the guy at the shop told me it was the rite front side. I replaced it but the light still stays on can you give a resin why this is thank you
It's odd that all the speed sensors I can find for my 2007 ML350 say rear only. Did this model only have rear sensors and not front as well? You would think it would be on all 4.
I seem to be missing a sensor from the front left, or it doesn’t look like the one on the right. The back left rear also seems to be different or missing. Is it possible they are different on left side or that there are only two right side?
Omg you are awesome and I love your channel. I have had an issue with my 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 and i was riding on the highway and the car jumped into neutral while driving. 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!!
Awsome video and easy to follow. I currently have speedometer needle issue . It read 40km faster then the digital. I wonder of you ever come across that kind of issue? Thanks in advance
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?

Good lesson. Just replaced the front knuckle. Sensor was r&r. Something must have glitched as abs+esp+bas lights came on. No brake lights.
It's probably brake light switch at the brake pedal is broken. Replace it and it will be fine
