How to use the iCarsoft Mercedes II MB II scanner

I (Lou ) show you how to use the iCarsoft Mercedes II scanner.
I have been working on Mercedes-Benz for 20+ years.
I can help with all Mercedes-Benz diagnosis issues.
This scanner is good for the avid do it yourselfer. It is just enough to read codes and get an idea of what is happening. Then you can use the codes to contact me and I can help with the diagnosis. I can save you hundreds if not thousands over the lifetime of owning a Mercedes. I have been doing online diagnostics for 10+ years. Let me know what you need help with, I will always do my best to get you fixed up or in the right direction.

    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.

    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.

    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

  • @MasterTechLou

    @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.

The EIS has been replaced about 9 months ago, so my question is: Will the MB 2 work to diagnose a car that won't start? Also any ideas on the issue? ~Michael

    hey Lou. have a 2013 C300 W204 with 3.5 NA engine. problem is LTFT negatively high especially on idle (> -10% ) and city MPG is bad (about 16 MPG). Scanned with tool but No code no nothing. What I do notice is the high rail pressure which I feel not right. On idle it's 2100PSI, on WOT it's 2900PSI. I'm lost now on where to go next. Your suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks.

    I know this is an old video so i hope you read this message. I have a W204 CDI 220. I've a generic fault code of DPF blocked on my basic scanner. Would the Icarsoft be able to tell which component failed to cause the DPF to become blocked? I know it can force a regen, but there's not point forcing a regen if something like the pressure failed and that's what stopped the DPF doing it's regen in the first place. EDIT: I have just purchased the car and it's in limp home mode so it wasn't me who blocked the DPF so i don't who how/why it was blocked).

    First off thanks for reaching out. Im going to give you my direct advice. Trying to get it done as cheap as possible is going to cost you more. 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.

Will this scanner do that or do u need the rumored 10 thousand dollar one for that?

    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.

  • @MasterTechLou

    @MasterTechLou

    Жыл бұрын

    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 .

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

    Thank you Frank for the nice comments. The v2.0 is identical with a few enhancements. it will work just the same. Yes it should read the esp module to help you narrow down the issue and show live data to help you define the problem. If you are experienced then this will help you get to the root cause. Thanks again! Lou

    Hi...I have a 2008 S550 4matic and battery in the trunk died and caused the vehicle not to shift into gear. Changed the battery, and now the intelligent servo module needs to be re-calibrated. Can I do that with the iCarsoft scanner?

    Maybe the v3.0 But calibration does not get knocked out with battery voltage. So I don’t think its going to fix your issue

    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.

    Foxwell is almost identical to icarsoft. As for activation and deactivation its not needed I simply unplug the sbc plug. Theres also a fancy way of using the turn signals and hazards to deactivate as well.

    @@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!

    Appreciate the knowledge. Any advice on what I should be looking to if my scanner can only read the ECM? I have a 2001 E320 and this scanner will only communicate with the ECM. I am dealing with the infamous transmission and I have replaced the TCM with one I know that is fully operational but this tool still can only read the ECM.

    You most likely arent using the correct port in the engine bay with the round adapter . we cannot use the under dash obd port in this model, its ONLY for emission stations and checking for check engine light codes. Through the basic obd2 selection.

    @@MasterTechLou Where I’m at right now is I have the correct tool you recommended but it will read every single module I have BUT the TCM. I’m stumped as I see no one else with this issue. The TCM is good and dry and I have a couple others so I feel the TCM is okay but there’s an issue where my car soft scanner won’t read it. I tried visiting your online website but I get an error code. Ever seen anything like this one? Thanks in advance.
