HELP! My car can not get out of limp mode.


1994 e320

Recently changed; Mass Air Sensor, Engine wiring harness, checked computer-ok, knock sensor, cam sensor, and still the car is in limp mode.



Error code 17 (communication fault)



Greatly Appreciated,



Steve


After you get code 17 ,wait 2 secs and hold button 8/9 secs. to clear the memory. Turn key off for 10 secs , on for 90 secs and start

Than you have to go to pin 14 on the diagnostic box. Get the EA/CC code there and then clear it, same as you do with the Diagnostic built-in one , but with this tool.

Red to pin 16 Blk to pin 1 Other to pin 14 While there you may as well do pin 8 [ HFM/SFI module] write down what codes u get before clearing After clearing , you will get a single flash You can then reset with the 8/9 sec hold and key sequence
