Thank you sir! I have a 2006 e350 with this issue… so I ordered the device off of Amazon… I just got my device, I did what you said and it worked immediately! For some reason it didn’t reset while my car was off, so I turned it on and it worked Thank you❤

[@JPinMotion]

You have to turn the key two clicks (but don't turn the engine on)

[@annbhaddness2581]

Will it work on a 2095 E320?

[@wondermukaadira4357]

What is the use of the small disc that comes with this tool

[@mftwohill51]

If Mercedes set a threshold for safety and you wish to exceed the recommended threshold then, don't complain when it goes into limp mode due to the reason that the electric motor on the SBC unit has worn out and no longer functions due to excessive use. I see this tool as similar to resetting your service interval and not doing the oil change. It is no different.

[@KingRQ95]

How much was it on Amazon

[@feron450]

I’m not sure about outside of the US but in the US Mercedes has extended this warranty for 25 years / unlimited mileage. I would suggest people check with a dealer for free service before doing this reset as that may effect if Mercedes replaces the sbc pump or not.

F-16 that was built in 1981 is still good Good Luck flying it

[@jerryjohndominicjohn1328]

Do u press and hold till u hear a beep or press once and let go? Thanks

[@mrboost5022]

Does tool comes with cable, i got same problem in my w211 e270 cdi

[@Moeyosf]

Beautiful explanation, thank you! I have an E-320 2004 with the same issue, but mine has 139k mileage. How much should I reset it-about 75% or less? Thank you!

[@whlawson5812]

Sorry on typo......does the A 009 on SBC block denote it is made in year 2009?.

[@maressawilliams6708]

Hi thnx i just brought a used 2005 c320 & this is on the dash. Very helpful will try after i try replacing brakes 1st. Thnx

[@supremeiconoclast7143]

How did it go? Replacing the brakes is always good but I bet you still needed to do this procedure to clear that message

[@MowerModdin]

C-class does not have SBC

[@ManikThapar-e5u]

You don’t need to flush the brakes or anything? And is it safe to do this

[@myredute]

Great video with heaps of great info, but how can you live with that diesel sound?

[@joshuawhite3481]

I have a 2006 Mercedes e500 4matic is there a link so that I can find that part to reset my SBC

[@TheAngelitoShow]

I have same issue I ordered same product but you didn’t show what to do with the disc it came with and I tried what you said and don’t work what should I do with the disk

[@GK7GARAGE]

You’d want to get SBC scanned to make sure it’s the threshold counter code and nothing else.

[@papanimalang4659]

Is this one time use or can it be used for several vehicles.

[@jurnik003]

do you have still that car ,wont ask if your sbc still work fine

[@schalkdutoit699]

It is sad that in South Africa, where I live, Mercedes never extended the warranty on the SBC units. You have to pay for it yourself. My '05 E240 is on blocks because the replacement units cost a fortune.

[@siphosibanyoni2197]

Yeah very sad indeed,I drive a 270cdi. Same problem,don’t know why Mercedes here locally they didn’t extend yet people bought a lot of this cars

[@TeddySwartz-f8j]

Hi can you tel me what is the tool name to reset the sbc

[@mainps1]

Turn the ignition where all the lights turn on or turn the engine on before doing this

[@Houstonpaki1]

iT IS EXCELLENT INFORMATION IF IT IS TRUE

[@lovegod1steverythingelse2n47]

Will it work on a 2004 e500?

[@ttmobiledetailing]

Do you have the link to that I'm looking for 1 to scan my e500

[@vitek924]

One quick question... so if those brushes inside are wear out and you got that warning light on, don't you think that is then not good idea to extend the warning light for another 150 thousand miles, if you already have bad brushes?

[@AverageJoe777]

I guess the thinking is that when it does fail they can replace it so they give the pump a big window to fail whenever it wants

[@anthonypineda972]

I have a 2005 E500 with a torn break line im sure i should replace the break line and refill the fluid before doing this correct?

[@supremeiconoclast7143]

Yes

[@nvstomtz2888]

Works on a e320?

[@EladioLaboy]

I tried to do the same but don't work

[@EladioLaboy]

I will try again thank you very

[@zsoltcsaplar8054]

Perfect ❤

[@charlievega7597]

Will it work for c2131 on e500 2003.

[@MahlonTane]

Great info bro

[@stefanm.4416]

In US MB will change the SBC for free. I guess till 25 years from cars production date. Just ask your local MB workshop. The reset you did can become dangerous because the SBC might lose its function without warning. So you are left without break force increase. You still can break but much slower and in case the SBC loses its function in the wrong situation you are screwed...

[@MLM111]

They want to charge $350 for diagnostic charge it’s not free

[@holgermessner851]

@@MLM111I do own a 2003 E240. ALL SBC from the early production years got a 25 year warranty on it. Even if the shop will charge $350 to get a $2,000 SBC unit - that would be still a good deal.

[@Deej_jeffs]

This obd need to program to. Cuz IL try my mom benz doesn't work e 500 2005

[@geovannivillegas6511]

Thanks !! U got 👍🏼

[@muhammadmuzammilkhan6256]

I have Mercedes sl350 2009 r230 this device not working on my car what should i do? Same code my car have (service threshold reached)

[@sailingyoumeandjosapea6770]

I got this tool because of this video and it hasn’t worked it went through the process and no different

[@seanoneill4042]

I bought the item but nothing happens when I use it.

[@letashiastephens8749]

Thank you!

[@MLM111]

I bought that but unfortunately it didn’t work for me 😢sent it back

[@jaybo107]

I thought that was under a lifetime warranty

[@Breal1969]

depends on the years

[@cannabuds3019]

25 year I believe

[@chris1958]

Why would you do that when the warranty for SBC brakes is 25 years and unlimited mileage?

[@rickyu1978]

the 25y is only in usa, no where else.

[@stephenperrone8694]

Already had my SBC replaced for free from MercedesBenz on my E500 Wagon when brakes went out and got the ominous Red warning light on the instrument panel. Now have to bring in my E55 for same "Brake" malfunction message. Brakes are working fine but aince MB will replace the SBC, I think that os better route than eventually having the brakes go out. That was quite a dangerous occurrence on the E500 but i was only going 2 mph when it happened so no tragedy. Mercedes will even reimburse you for work done by your own mechanic as long as you provide all documentation that the work was done correctly and then bring the car in to MB to let them inspect the work. Must bring receipt for the genuine Mercedes SBC unit installed and installation fees paid.

[@stephenperrone8694]

Mercedes NA extended the warranty on theciriginal and subsequent new units because of a class action lawsuit against them in U.S. They didn't really want to do it out of the goodness of their Teutonic heart. In other countries I guess they feel they can get away with any potential liability issue because people in other countries aren't nearly as litigious as in U.S. If one American died from failure if the SBC, MB would have been found liable and been forced to pay out not millions, but billions. Gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

[@palmviewlobos15]

I highly doubt billions. Toyota didn't pay that amount for the unintended accelerations or GM for the faulty ignition switch that did actually take more than 50+ lives and it was still not in the billions.

[@kidbk347]

Is it drivable after doing this?

[@MLM111]

No 😂 come on man….

[@mftwohill51]

Using this tool is ignoring the recommended service interval of the SBC pump. It is no different than resetting your service interval and not changing the oil and filter and carrying out, other service items that are required.

[@whlawson5812]

From other U tuber the reservoir pressure supposedly to be up to 120barg, pretension pressure suppose to be 70barg. At brake pedal depression of 18mm the outgoing brake fluid pressure is about 8barg. At 23mm it goes up above 17barg. I borrowed a low end OBD2 which shows only 3 readings for outgoing brake fluid pressure and brake pedal depression. The same resetting tool as this I bought are a dud. Had to get a workshop to reset. The SBC block number starts from A 004? Then yearly at A 006, A O07, A 008 and to the last one A 009........denoting year 2007?. 😂😂😂

[@XFiorentti]

Good video only problem is you skipped some parts...such as where to find the OBD2 connector for all Mercedes...I have a 2011 GL450 and so your video doesn't really help

[@modernlooks7041]

This video is not meant for you… SBC was only available on 211, 230 and 219.

[@vitek924]

OBD2 connectors for all Mercedes are underneath the dash on the steering column under section side, look for it sometimes they have this little door that you must unclip and exposed the OBD2 connector sir.

[@shadymac8387]

NOTE THERE IS A 25 YEAR UNLIMITED MILE FREE MANDATORY REPLACEMENT FOR THIS ISSUE MAKE THEM FIX THERE STUPID IDEA THEY GOT SUED

[@RobertoMetodiev-b3u]

I bought the same device, I did everything as in the video, it has no effect, I would be glad if you can help me.

[@gawievermeulen6591]

I have also purchased this tool, no effect. The green light start blinking it d9es not burn constant as on the video, why is this?

[@AS.MA_]

​@@gawievermeulen6591 Because your error is not that code!! U have to scan it first and see the error code

[@giulianocolman3826]

What happens if you hit the 100% button

[@bigdaysout5882]

I did that but is not clearing

[@GK7GARAGE]

Did you scan codes to make sure you have the threshold counter code

[@col145]

RUBISH !!
