harnesses and/or switches. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which could cause

system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected. Ensure anyaftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found,check for conditions that might cause an intermittent situation.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

BATTERY DISCONNECT/CONNECT

Disconnect/Connect Procedures

1. Turn off ignition. Open engine hood. After opening vehicle wait at least 4 minutes before disconnecting battery or alarm will be triggered.

2. Connect quiescent current retention unit, if necessary.

3. Disconnect negative battery cable (1) and insulate cable lug to prevent unwanted contact with ground point (W16/4). See Fig. 2 .4. To connect, reverse disconnect procedure.5. If quiescent current retention unit was not used, perform basic programming. See BASIC

PROGRAMMING . Using appropriate scan tool, retrieve and erase any DTCs stored in memory. SeeRETRIEVING & ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

BASIC PROGRAMMING

1. Code radio. See CODING RADIO .

2. Set time on instrument cluster. Pull out knob at lower right of speedometer. To adjust hour, turn to right.To adjust minute, turn to left.3. If necessary, set time at stationary heater timer.4. Start engine and run at idle. Turn steering wheel from one lock position to the other to activate steering

angle sensor. Center steering wheel. Malfunction indicator lamp should go out.5. If equipped, normalize tilting/sliding roof. Open sunroof and hold down switch. Sunroof moves to end

position and pulls back 1/4 turn and stops. If equipped with lemella sliding roof, close roof and keep

switch pressed for 5 to 10 seconds.6. Normalize power windows. Completely close each window with manual switch. Hold switch in closed position for 5 seconds.

Coding Radio

5/19

1. Turn ignition on. CODE will appear on radio display. Enter first code number with station button. For

example, station button 1 is number 1.2. After entering first number, CODE will disappear and first number entered will appear followed by 4

dashes. The next character to be entered flashes.3. After entering all 5 numbers the first character starts flashing again. If an input error has occurred it can

be corrected at this time by reentering the complete correct code.4. Press TUNE, AUTO/SEEK or SC button. If code is correct, radio automatically switches on and indicates

the station or frequency stored with station button 1. If an incorrect code number has been entered, CODE

appears again on display. If an incorrect code is entered 3 times, WAIT appears on display and radiolocks up for approximately 10 minutes. If an incorrect code is entered 3 times again, radio locks up forapproximately 10 additional minutes. After 9 incorrect attempts, lock time increases to 60 minutes.Another 3 incorrect entries locks up radio for another 60 minutes. Radio must remain switched on duringlock up time.

TESTING

Generator malfunctions may cause a Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) to be stored in Motor ElectronicsSequential Fuel Injection (ME-SFI) system. After repairs are completed check for and erase any DTCs stored in(ME-SFI) system. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If cause ofgenerator malfunction is not engine performance related, replace generator.

RETRIEVING & ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

To retrieve codes using hand held tester, see Fig. 3 .

NOTE: Before replacing any component that scan tool suggests are faulty, ensure thatall wiring connections and harness connector s are okay. Ensure that power andground circuits are functioning properly. For circuit identification, seeappropriate WIRING DIAGRAM under ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEMWIRING DIAGRAMS for vehicle being tested.

NOTE: For diagnostic equipment connections, see FAULT CODE DIAGNOSISEQUIPMENT CONNECTION .

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Disconnecting vehicle battery will not erase codes. Follow scan tool equipment manufacturers instructions toerase fault codes.

FAULT CODE DIAGNOSIS EQUIPMENT CONNECTION

To connect hand held tester scan tool to Mercedes-Benz data link connector, see Fig. 4 . To connect hand heldtester scan tool to OBD-II data link connector, see Fig. 5 .

less than 13 volts, inspect and repair high resistance at charging system connections.

3. If charging system connections are okay, using an oscilloscope, test diodes in generator. See DIODETEST . If diodes are okay, replace voltage regulator. See VOLTAGE REGULATOR underREMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If diodes are bad, replace generator. See GENERATOR underREMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
