How we processed the “Check engine” light on Diane’s Mercedes

Diane & Paul use a new diagnostic computer from Amazon (see below) to turn off the “check engine light” and reset Diane’s transmission. Watch as they get the computer to work and eventually successfully solve their check engine light issue.

DISCLOSURE:
We are amateurs and this video is for entertainment purposes only. We do not warrant that anything we do is safe or will work for others. Cars are heavy and can cause serious injury or death. Please don’t take any risks unless you have a professional with you or advising you.

Also, you should never use a car’s supplied jack to jack up your car for car repairs. It just isn’t safe, especially on smooth service like a garage floor. You should assume that these jacks will slide on the floor and that the car will fall. So why even try? It just isn’t worth it.

We also have no direct sponsors paying us to pitch their products for this video, which means that we bought all tools, supplies, and video equipment ourselves. However, some companies (like Amazon) want more business and are willing to share a small amount of their profit with us—at no extra cost to you—if you click on our links leading to the products we used in this video. We use these links since we chose the products entirely based on our desires and not because a company or store directed us to.

Both of u are amazing

Check the cabling it's probably corrosion somewhere.. multi system failure means the module is bad or something is bad with cable but it see's the trans module and was able to talk to it so probably not the wire to ECU to trans cable but something after….. FYI you should of looked at freeze frame data and see what the car was doing at the time when it send the code.. to know what is really wrong you might have to back problem it with a external scope.. so see what the data the sensors are actually seeing

rob rocco says:

FYI CAN is a communication standard is basically OBDII fast communication

Kovie says:

Although I've never used one there are bluetooth-based OBD readers that basically turn your phone, tablet or laptop into an OBD scan tool. In theory this could give you way more features and capabilities than a proprietary scan tool, with regular updates and bug fixes and the ability to connect online to OBD databases that could give you a lot more and more current information about your vehicle and any codes that come up, keep up with new vehicle models, computers and parts as they come out, and store an unlimited amount of historical data.

Only one of our cars uses OBD II and I'll probably sell it soon, so I've no need for such a tool, but you might want to look into it.

I'm just an amateur, but I'd start with a good cleaning of the battery posts/clamps back in the trunk there. Maybe check the battery's health with an impedance tester. I do know that on some modern BMW's with rear-mounted batteries, an aging battery can make all sorts of weird fault codes crop up.

If it comes down to hunting for a short in a wiring harness, good luck! This could be a fun/frustrating series.
