How to do W220 ESP Variant Coding correctly with MB Star Diagnostic C4?


If you have a STAR diagnostic tool such as Star Diagnosis C4 ,and it sounds like you may, go to the ESP module under

CONTROL UNITS
CHASSIS
ESP
Fault Codes
Select C1511-005

1.to the right it should say CURRENT or STORED

hit F8

It should show you how many time the car has ben started after the code was detected. "0" means the fault is CURRENT, any number greater than 0 the fault should be STORED and past history. The ( obviously ) higher the number of start cycles the longer ago it was.

(If it was a long ago and a stored code, I would clear it and move on. If it is current, you can force a variant locking reset of the ESP module in STAR diagnostic and see if the code returns. If the trouble code returns, that would make it a current and ongoing error. If that turns out to be the case then perhaps the ESP module has gone "breasts skywar".

2.Double click C1511-005

Read the pre conditions

hit F3

read the sequence and follow it to (hopefully) force a variant coding re-read/write.

It would seem that the ESP reads the ECU on every start up. Having a bad TCU MAY be contributing to the ECU variant coding being off kilter. I would think there would be some P2000-P2564 series codes displayed for that though.

I have no training as a MB mech/tech and offer this as just a possible direction to proceed in. The ( very ) highly paid professionals at the Dollarship or the ( not so ) highly paid folks at a good independent shop should/would have the final say.
