E240 known faults

[moss1]

Does anyone know where I can find out known faults on the year 2000 model.

I have noticed numerous dashboard fault lights appear for no apparent reason.

As an example th brake assist, ESP and ABS light come on when driving intermittently but go off when the car is stopped and restarted.

Cruise does not work intermittently and air con buttons on thecentre console do not always work.

The car is 18 months old and has covered 11000 miles

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi Moss,

The problem with the BAS light is almost certainly a faulty brake light switch. After that you are wasting your time. With out looking at the fault codes in the ECU, then  NO CAN DO. We then had to clear all the faults and start from the begining.  The problem then is if the fault is very intermittant.

Good luck
Andy
When the car is stoped and restarted. The vehicle will reset all faults and the light will go off. Until it senses that fault again. The faults are all stored in the ECU.
Back to your dealer I am afraid. Or your local specialist.

PS, If you take it into a specialist. Make sure they have the correct diagnostic computors. We had an E240 Estate which came in for some problems. It had been into another specialist. The faults which came out where many and varied. It was obvious that they had just pulled things of in a vain attempt at locating the fault.
