I have a W202 1997 C230 K 5 speed electronic auto box. I have not used the car for 4 weeks and now it sticks in limp (safe) mode and the abs light is on. Could it be low voltage in battery? car starts normally on key.

Also how do i reset the box using the throttle & ignition as I have lost the instructions.

Thanks
Bruce

I would give the car a run the best that you can,,do check that the battery is giving over 12 volts, then try again

w202 gearbox problem & ABS light on

No It was not jump started I have not checked any fuses. Can you tell me what to check and where to find them.

Do you know how to reset the box from safe mode?
