Mercedes Front left Malfunction or U100887 LIN BUS 1 is faulty - solved

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I am showing process how I dealt with error stating FRONT LEFT MAULFUNCTION CONSULT WORKSHOP or showing on diagnostic as LIN BUS 1 is Faulty.
In this scenario it was just ground cable that was loose/disconnected at some point. However I am showing electrical schematic for front passenger weight module with colour coding and also where the cables lead to.
First step is always check if the fuse is OK.
Then check if the connector is not loose.
Check for connector or cable damage as when the seat moves up & down this is quite common fault.
Check for 12V+ voltage on the connector and proper ground
Check LIN BUS 1 wire for continuity
Leave the weight module replacement as last option to save £££

    I got this error on my A45. Mercedes dealership quoted me $1900 AUD. Definitely going to check all these cables now.

    Thank you so much. You’ve just saved me £900 after the garage were going to charge me for a new seat pad. If it weren’t for this video I’d never have thought to check the fuse (which was loose from hardwiring a dash cam). Dash cam removed and fuse in - works perfectly after light reset. Thanks so much. Very grateful.

    I am worried now, as mine has the same thing! I have c180 coupe here in the UK and it had a factory recall on the airbag, so i thought it was related. After the dealer did the work, they said there is an alert with the passenger recognition seat pad, and the manufacturer doesnt make them any more? and they are trying to get hold of the manufacturer to find out. £900 is immense!

    Right?!? I am a fleet manager for a DSP which has 19 Mercedes Sprinter diesels and 11 gas Mercedes Sprinters. We have this FLM multiple times a week. So far it’s been the seatbelt and now a safety feature inside the driver door. I refuse to put my drivers in a van with an SRS issue or even a check engine light on! These vans were not made for deliveries 7 days a week 10 hr days and 25 to 35 stops an hour!

Because if you took it to a place to have it fixed they need to get rid of that malfunction message for you. And yes I did find out why it happened, supposedly when my husband replaced the ripped sear he was to disconnect the battery beforehand. I have to bring it to the dealer to have them reset it. You should bring it back to who fixed it.

I would unplug Airbag module and try to check for continuity on that wire between connector at Air bag module and connector at the sensor. It's 1x wire that is going all the way up there. Also check for ground maybe try give ground from elsewhere to the weight sensor module. Also check if it has 12V coming once ignition is ON.
