So interesting these tools, but now any car selling person can clear fault codes just before you arrive for your test ride? What if i bring a device like this one and scan after any code was been cleared.. will any show up as cleared and is there a log to check? Are cleared codes gone from any diagnostic tool? That could make buying a used care even more tricky if the seller has bad intentions..
Yep. I myself considering buying this to take with me on a E350 hunt.. guessing I will 'Smart Scan' > then just click thru individual modules to see .. but guess it will just say 'no fault found'.
Hello i have the m900 v2.0 scanner im trying to clear a transmission limp mode but it wont work on my 2000 mercedes e 320 there's not a option for w 210 what do you think, is there's a upgrade thank you
Well i just tried v3.0 on my 98 w140 it didn't work ☹️ Update i found out my car did have the 38 pin plug also under the big black cover on passenger side engine compartment by the front side of shock mount i had to buy adapter and now it do work i dont really understand why Mercedes put both obd 2 and 38 pin socket but ok
Can you guide of what to do if I replaced a rackenpinion on awd c 300 2015 do I need to take the car after replacement to someone to code it pls and thank you?
Can the scanner make actuation of valves and pump air on Airmatic, or is reading only? I bought it already, but would be nice if I can operate Airmatic, that is what I have problem on my E class
You have to manually search through each module to locate any possible fault code,... rather then the system showing any faults detected upfront? When like you said you have 20+ modules to search, thats a bit of a negative if your havent pinpointed where any potential problems exist...
If you select the OBD Check menu, it displays the fault which is causing the Check Engine Light. However if you have multiple codes you can search manually through the various modules.
@@killerhertzmercedes ah, i see! 👍🤠 Well, thank you for clarifying that. I think i will buy this scanner now then, i was a little bit ify being unsure about the practicality of manually searching for codes, if this reader does that effectively then it seems to be pretty good value and a simple way to obtain the correct MB fault codes.

@@TECHNOCHAD it tells you the code straight away but only if you have a check engine light on, otherwise you have to laboriously go through every module one at a time which is ridiculous. It needs a software update from the dev team to immediately show post scan if there are any errors.

You need to diagnose what the actual issue is first, likely something with the Braking System. Take it to a garage or scan it (if you have a tool) to find out what is going on.
hello, when you read the fault code and you have STATE:historic is it a permanent ? or not ? or STATE: actual is it that one permanent ? or not ? Manny thanks !
Will this scanner support older 1997 Mercedes Benz S420 (W140 Chassis). Is this model listed out of 56 available models? I understand you need to purchase 38 pin adapter to make it work. I bought iCarsoft MB II , but this scanner only supports my younger 2003 Mercedes Benz S430 (W220 Chassis)
@@nickplenzick2602 so I did the transmission oil fluid replacement without a reader. I had a temp gun, from Lowe’s. I filled the transmission with 5 liters, I disconnected the return line from the transmission cooler to the transmission. I had someone start the car while I was holding a container at the disconnected return line. The container was one of the transmission oil bottles, so I was draining 1 liter,stop the engine, pump 1 liter of clean fluid back in. I did this process several time( 4 times) until only clean fluid would come out from the cooler. This way I flushed the torque converter and cooler. You know you have the correct amount of fluid, the transmission is warm, when removing the plug there is just a small streak. If there nothing coming out, you need to add more. If it pours out on a solid steady stream than you have too much.
@@nickplenzick2602 right after the torque converter. I would drive the car around a bit because the transmission takes time to get warm. I prefer driving it instead of putting in drive/reverse and have my foot on the brake. That’s not good at all. I put my car in P even at driverhru’s
