Engine Control Unit Software Update

SERVICE INFORMATION

The Flashware CD release 0004488102/0005 (refer to S-B-07.61/30 ) or any newer version contains a software update for the engine control unit for the following conditions. Please use only the latest flash CD for flashing.

NOTE: Do not flash Model 230 (SL500) with chassis number lower than F029500. ME software with part no. 113 153 34 79 will not communicate with transmission control unit resulting in a no start condition.

NOTE: Emissions are not exceeded under normal conditions.

All M112/M113 Engines - Model 220/215 MY 2003 and later remaining models MY 2002 and later:

Lack of power under full acceleration and mid range and/or upper long-term adaption values drifting to lean.
Hesitation caused by "two-footed" driver, i.e. driver depresses accelerator and brake pedal at the same time as outlined in DTB #302 dated May 2001.

After flashing the ECU will have part number as follows:

All models with M113 = 113 153 44 79 with the following exceptions:
- S500/430 4-Matic = 113 153 46 79
All models with M112 = 112 153 51 79 with the following exceptions:
- C320 MY 2003 = 112 153 59 79

Model E320/500 and CLK320/500 - MY 2003:

Check engine light with code P0442.

After flashing the ECU will have part number as follows:

E/CLK 500 = 113 153 44 79
E/CLK 320 = 112 153 51 79

NOTE:

Ensure that all engine related systems are within specification. The software update will not compensate for any system or mechanical component malfunction.
When asking for SCN number (MY 2003 vehicles only), the PN that will be in the ECU after flashing must be specified.

Please refer to S-B-07.61/27 for instructions on flashware use.
