Hi all, after only 30 mins of picking up my CL63AMG AM am now stuck in a bus stop, 5 miles from the dealer after the dash suddenly showed "Drive to workshop without changing gear". At this point the gearbox started jerking badly and I had to pull over, in a bus stop on a hill, so thought it best to put the car into P. Well it wasn't till I whipped out my phone to check the forums that I found this was the worst thing to do. Car won't start, its dark and I'm marooned. :evil:
Called the AA who came and they've checked both batteries (inlcuding the one in the boot behind the rear seat) which were low voltage. AA plugged in their Bosch dial computer and got the following codes:
Engine control - 47C / Motronic ME 9.71433 - CAN signal from electronic selector-lever module.
Error Message : No communication.2017 - CAN interface.
Error Message : signal not in range.1405 - .
Error Message : Unknown fault.1373 - Brake control unit.
Error Message : No communication.trans fault low voltage, unable to start vehicle. Advised req investigation. Rec to garage if suitable.
AA guys believes the jerking gearbox are because the cars been sat around for weeks with very little use, therefore alternator hasn't been charging the batteries hence why the gearbox warning came on. I'm now waiting for my car to be trailered back home 35 miles away to get to to my local Indy. AA guy reckons alterntor is probably gone hence batteries low. He couldn't test the condition of them because the car wouldn't start.
Looking at the evidence and fault code do you agree or is the ISM knackered?
Am so pee'd off. 5 miles into cl63 ownership and the damn thing is dead by the roadside.
