Problem:
Brake pad thickness warning message is displayed even if the pads are above specifications.
Cause:
The mathematical calculations made by the Condition Based Services Module (CBS) do not agree with the actual brake wear. The CBS uses inputs like vehicle speed, pedal pressure and rotor temperature to determine if the pads require replacement.
Correction:
Re-flash the CBS module with new software.
Knock sensors are mounted on the block near the base of the cylinder head.
The knock sensor is a piezoelectric accelerometer that acts as a microphone on the engine. It converts vibrations into alternating current (AC) signal. When the crystal inside the sensor is vibrated, it produces an AC voltage. The greater the vibration or shock, the higher the voltage and frequency.
Replacing a single coil might not be the best approach to curing an engine of a chronic misfire.
The TIPM is on the CAN bus, any issues with the communication between the ECM, ABS and BCM can cause problems with the TIPM.
EQ is the EV brand for Mercedes. It is the equivalent of Audi’s Etron or VW’s iD brands.
Here are 10 tips to follow during ADAS Calibration.
To resolve the issue, fully disconnect the negative lead from the battery terminal.
A power supply to keep the system voltage consistent is a required piece of equipment to perform a reflash procedure.
The transfer case is a rather unique design in the way that it operates a clutch pack mechanically, not hydraulically.
Direct injection pressure is measured with sensors, and you’ll need a scan tool to measure the signals
