If you're experiencing error codes after servicing your Mercedes car, there
are several steps you can take to address the issue:
1. Check the Error Codes: The first step is to identify the specific error codes
your car is showing. You can do this using an OBD-II scanner or by taking
your car to a mechanic or dealership that has diagnostic tools for Mercedes
vehicles. Knowing the error codes will help you understand the nature of
the problem.
2. Verify the Service: Make sure that the servicing was performed correctly
and that all components were properly installed or replaced. Sometimes
errors can occur during the servicing process, leading to issues with the
car's performance or triggering error codes.
3. Reset the Error Codes: In some cases, error codes may persist even after
the issue has been addressed. You can try resetting the error codes using
an OBD-II scanner or by disconnecting the car's battery for a few minutes.
This may clear any temporary faults and allow the car's systems to reset.
4. Test Drive: After resetting the error codes or addressing any issues found
during servicing, take the car for a test drive to see if the problem persists.
Pay attention to any warning lights or unusual behavior and monitor for
any recurrence of error codes.
5. Seek Professional Help: If the error codes continue to appear or if you're
unable to resolve the issue on your own, it's best to seek professional help
from a certified Mercedes mechanic or dealership. They will have the
expertise and specialized tools to diagnose and repair any underlying issues
with your car.
6. Check for Software Updates: Sometimes error codes can be caused by
outdated software in the car's computer systems. Check with your
Mercedes dealership to see if there are any available software updates for
your vehicle that could address the issue.
By following these steps, you should be able to address and resolve the
error codes you're experiencing after servicing your Mercedes car.

of course. No repair works. The car only has 97,000 miles on it. The only
thing I did was to take the pan off, replace the filter, the gasket, the fluid
and the round looking fat electrical connector. That is all. I bought all the
parts from the dealer. I poured fresh fluid (also from the dealer) and made
sure the level is perfect using a MB dipstick and followed instructions. That
is all, but started experiencing these problems right after. Well after
servicing the transmission, I think the battery died so I had to recharge it
and then been dealing with these problems

It sounds like the issues you're experiencing with error codes could be
related to the transmission service you performed, especially since the
problems started occurring right after. Here are some possible explanations
and steps to address the issue:
1. Electrical Connection: Since you mentioned replacing the round electrical
connector, it's possible that there could be an issue with the connection.
Double-check to ensure that the connector is properly seated and securely
connected. Even a slight misalignment or loose connection could cause
transmission-related error codes.
2. Fluid Level: While you mentioned that you followed instructions and
ensured the fluid level was perfect, it's still worth rechecking the
transmission fluid level to ensure it's within the correct range. An incorrect
fluid level can lead to transmission issues and trigger error codes.
3. Battery Recharge: If the battery died and you had to recharge it, it's
possible that this could have affected the car's electronic systems.
Sometimes, resetting the car's systems by disconnecting the battery for a
short period and then reconnecting it can resolve certain issues. Try
disconnecting the battery again for a few minutes and then reconnecting it
to see if that helps.
4. Check for Faulty Parts: Even though you purchased the parts from the
dealer, there's always a possibility of receiving faulty components. It's rare,
but it can happen. Check the new filter, gasket, and electrical connector for
any signs of damage or defects.
5. Diagnostic Scan: If the error codes persist after checking the above factors,
it's crucial to perform a diagnostic scan using a professional OBD-II scanner
or take the car to a dealership or mechanic with access to Mercedes
diagnostic tools. The scan will provide detailed information about the
specific error codes and help identify the underlying issue.
6. Consult a Professional: If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own,
it's best to consult a certified Mercedes mechanic or dealership for further
assistance. They have the expertise and resources to diagnose and address
complex transmission issues.
By carefully inspecting and addressing these potential factors, you should
be able to identify and resolve the error codes you're experiencing with
your Mercedes car after servicing the transmission.
