Found a pristine ML55. Went for a test drive, everything seemed ok. Hooked up the scanner. Catalytic converter I/M Readiness was INC along with a few others. Could not connect to the Transfer Case Module, turned out Low Range didn't turned on. This saved my @$$ for real! Thanks again!!!

I bought this exact scanner to diagnose a misfire on my 02 SLK32AMG. I looked at the cylinder misfires/errors in real time (data stream) and determined the exact one that was bad. It turned out to be a single spark plug wire. Saved me a trip to the dealer and a pile of money.

Hello, it's great watching this video. Could you tell me if that scanner clears the Teleaid sos defective message on the instrument cluster of '04 S430?

This video was helpful, however can you tell me if I can recalibrate the airmatic system using this the scanner? I have recently changed the front suspension on both sides (not the airmatic shock and upon completion the car sets low on the right by about 2.5 inches. I am sure I have to reset the calibration for the airmatic system. I have found the procedure but need a scanner capable of doing this. Do you know if the iCarsoft MB II will do this. Don't want to buy if it will not. Thanks for your help.

This has to be the best video I seen how to use the mb2

Great video, going to order one! Do you know if the “real” mileage of the car is readable in any of the modules vs what is displayed on the odometer? Any tips and tricks appreciated!

David Moreno the EIS and Instrument cluster are the only modules that store and share mileage. If you replace one of those the mileage will update/correct itself after 500 miles of driving. From what I was taught.

Lou, thanks for your most helpful video. My situation is chasing down a very frustrating parasitic battery drain. I think i have it narrowed down to battery control module or k57 relay. My question (using the same scanner as you) is while scanning the BCM data stream should I see charging current running through it? I actually did a reset of the f30 circuit by unplugging the bcm for a short while and then after re-connecting, the fault for the "open circuit in k57" did not re-appear. The software status of the bcm was given as 22/05. Not sure if this is the updated 2nd gen software as provided for by MB recall 31-3-2005. If a software update would fix this issue it would save me major coin ($600 app) for a new bcm. Any ideas or input, thanks in advance Bill R PS. I am not a mechanic by any stretch!

What is a good price point for my application. I replaced both front wheel bearings. When I replaced the passenger side the abs light came on and the cruse control doesn't work. Message on the center display. I changed the driver side on now the when you start driving away the front brakes come on for a few seconds then release. Then the red brake light comes on the display. The speed doesn't read until the brake light is on. It's a 2007 ml320 cdi. Thanks for any info.

@MasterTechLou

It is very important to know that the wheel bearing has a magnetic ring only on one side of the bearing and that is what the sensor reads. Most likely the bearing was installed backwards and now you need to replace it once again. To test you use a paperclip on the end of the wheel bearing to know which side the magnetic ring is on. I hope this helps. Lou

Thanks for the video Lou. I have an Sl 32 AMG. Believe I might have a vacuum leak due to high fuel consumption but do not have any codes. Will this tool help me diagnose/locate? Thanks!

@MasterTechLou

2 жыл бұрын

Hello, thanks for the nice comments. if you have a vacuum leak the engine module is very good at setting a code for lean. not sure what module you actually have because there is no SL 32 amg., but fuel consumption is very tricky, because there are so many factors that play into it. How you drive, where you drive, temperature, fuel quality. if there is a fuel consumption issue you would most definitely get a code in a Mercedes. I cant think of an instance where I had a physical issue like a leak and no rich or lean code to go with it., and yes and no, the scanner can help you if you watch o2 sensor values and then spray the intake and engine with carb cleaner to see if the o2 sensors change rapidly, but it can also cause false readings since the mass air flow sensor can pick up the fumes. so its tricky on how to find a leak, usually smoke testing is best.

If you replaced the parts with no solid reason or diagnosis as to why you should have replaced them, you are already wasting money. You cannot use a used trans module. They are programmed per vin. You also need a scanner like this to erase coded in the trans module if the issue was with the conductor plate and or solenoids. Just because you have a transmission issue does not mean the issue is with the trans. You need diagnosis always first and foremost.

Would like your help with one question, does the icarsoft v2 cater for faults in relation to the reversing camera on the 2014 GLA45???

GREAT VIDEO! im curious if this scanner clears and resets codes. For example im gettin error code P0702 wich puts the car in limp mode. when I clear the code with my cheap generic scanner it says it cleared it but the only thing it did was shut the check engine light off. when I take it to the dealership or a european specialty shop they clear the code with their scanner and it takes it out of limp mode! Will this scanner do that or do u need the rumored 10 thousand dollar one for that?

Glad you asked, so when you have a p07XX that means that there is a code in the trans module that is causing limp mode. so yes this will read and clear the trans codes but that does not mean that it fixes the issue, it just clears it but the issue will return. so yes it will clear codes, no its not a fix for your issue.

Hi, just saw the Carsoft video. I have 3 Sprinters, all diesel, 2016,17 and 18. I bought the carsoft 2 years ago and it didn’t recognize the VIN for the 2018. Question is, will this version or any allow the countdown of starts after the repair/condition has been fixed. I now have 1 that had the DPF clogged/ cleaned and replaced with 5 starts remaining. Love your video.

Hello, thanks for the nice comments, Diesels are tricky and they suck to say the least. When the fault codes happen and you get the countdown, you basically CAN NOT ATTEMPT to erase codes or you now have to visit the dealer as you will lock the module into tamper mode. Basically in a diesel, the computer has to run the test for the failed component and pass the test and then and only then will it erase the code itself or set the code to stored and remove the remaining starts. here is my cheat sheet I share with people outside of the dealer. Diesel Diagnosis once a fault is registered over 2 different drive cycles (start, drive, shut off, cool down, start, drive ) the check engine light will come on. if the issue affects emissions greatly the remaining starts will come on if the issue is not resolved in a unspecified period of time. in the shop we run the codes (perform quick test which runs down the list of modules and check faults) then we see the codes and process them ( we high light and click the code it brings us to the test steps of each code) once we perform the test, it will either lead us to replace the part, or it will show "ok to erase fault codes" (not verbatim), only then can we erase the codes. for the consumer. if you have a fault code, you can replace the part. start the engine and drive for more than 30 min above 40mph with out stopping. the engine module will self test and erase the code on its own and the remaining starts will disappear if the remaining starts was active. however once you get to 4 remaining starts you now have to go to the dealer, up to 4 remaining starts you can reset the starts to 12 IF you have the right scanner like a higher level scanner. Like the bidirectional ones .

Lou, I'm adding aftermarket wheels and tires(with new TPMS) on my 2014 c250 Sport and I own the iCarsoft MB II. Will I need to relearn the TPMS monitors via the iCarsoft tool or can I go through the NAV screen on my car to relearn the new sensors?????? Thanks!!

@MasterTechLou

3 жыл бұрын

provided you have the right sensors, once you reset tpms in the instrument cluster, the wheel sensors will learn themselves. they are smart enough to learn location and orientation, not like the older ones, so this should be seamless. we used to do winter and summer tire swaps, it was a pain on the 220 but on this model once you reset the tpms through the cluster and drive it, it SHOULD relearn no problem. but NO the icarsoft will not help with that. I do not think so.

Hey Peter! If you are just looking to read codes and live values and erase codes then yes most likely. If you are looking to activate items for testing then no. Check out my autel video also my video on scanner differences. It all depends on your skill level and what you intend to do.

Thank you for the great video, I have been a technician in a busy shop but am retired now I enjoy watching someone who is clearly experienced and knows how to relate that experience to others. I have an RV on Sprinter chassis. is a 2015 Sprinter, the sprinter has been known to have some ABS sensor problems. my question is ,will this scanner find and pinpoint exactly which one if any sensor is failed / I know that is an electrical value and I suspect a low mileage vehicle can get rust/corrosion on parts where it is less likely on a typical 15K mile per year vehicle. also I noticed the unit you have there has MB 2 on screen is that the same as the iCarsoft Auto M900 V2.0 Mercedes I am finding on Amazon for $140.00 ? thanks again for great information

Hello Lou, I wanted to buy a diagnostic tool and can see that you like the iCarsoft Mercedes II MB II Scanner. In looking at BenzWorld they seem to be recommending the Foxwell NT510 Elite because of the deactivate/reactivate features it has - SBC and ABC rodeo specifically. The Foxwell unit has issues from what I have read and I'm not sure the deactivate/reactivate features are worth the hassle. I have a 2005 SL500 that has recently had the Rodeo done - don't forsee another one for a few years. I will need new brakes and will have to figure out how to deactivate/reactivate the SBC unit. I saw one video where all that appeared to be needing doing was to disconnect and reconnect the SBC connector cable? Any opinions you care to offer on this issue would be appreciated.

@@MasterTechLou Thanks for your comments. Right now I think I'll go with icarsoft. I've looked into your comment about unplugging the SBC for deactivation. I found a video ( in Russian) showing the user trying and failing to deactivate the SBC using his Foxwell. He then unplugs the SBC as you suggested. So far so good. After the brake work is complete he has a red screen as the SBC needs to be reactivated. He then goes through a series of steps that include switching the ignition key off and on. He also steps on the brake pedal several times. The result is reactivation, normal screen, Foxwell not used. I hope you won't mind me contacting you again after I get to this step if I don't have the same success!
