Update Engine Control Module Software

This Service Campaign has been initiated because Daimler AG (DAG), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter vehicles, has

determined that humidity can enter the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve which may cause an electrical short circuit. As a result, the feedback

signal from the valve to the engine control module (ECM) may fail. As a consequence, the EGR valve may be switched-off and the vehicles will

experience a loss of power and enter a limp home mode. In addition, certain software parameters in the ECM may not respond properly to brief

control deviations of the EGR valve position. Under certain circumstances, this ECM programming can cause an unfavorable response which can

deactivate the periodic cleaning function of the EGR valve. If the control deviation occurs twice within two consecutive driving cycles the MIL will

All Warrantable Model Years

Diagnostic Verification for Valve Body/Conductor Plate Replacement Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC will begin Diagnostic Verification for 722.9

NAG2 Transmission Valve Body/Conductor Plate replacements starting on Monday, April 18, 2011. MBUSA has posted a Diagnostic Verification

form for transmission replacements which can be found on: NetStar -> Service -> STAR -> TekInfo -> Diagnostic Verification Proj. -> NAG2 Valve

Body/Conductor Plate

Under this program, replacement of the Model Year 2004 through present Model Year 722.9 (NAG2) Transmission Valve Body/Conductor Plate

will require verification that a replacement is necessary prior to replacement in accordance with the program terms summarized below.

^ The technician shall conduct an accurate assessment and complete documentation of the problem by submitting a Diagnostioc verification request

through NetStar -> Service -> STAR TekInfo -> Diagnostic Verification Proj. -> NAG2 Valve Body/Conductor Plate.

^ Upon completion of the form, click on the "submit" button to send the form to Dealer Technical Support(DTS). A Diagnostic Verification case

number will be displayed upon submission. Supporting documentation (e.g. Short Test, Control Unit Log, Freeze Frame Data & pictures of

damaged parts where appropriate) must then be sent to diag-ver-valvebody@mbusa.com with the case number in the subject line as a reference.

Once the form and supporting documentation are received, the case will be reviewed. After review, you will be notified via e-mail (to the address

listed on the form) if the diagnosis is verified. Warranty Services Group will also be updated when the diagnosis is verified.

^ Once a diagnosis is verified, the replacement part order will be processed automatically via Paragon Replacement can then be performed.

Warranty claim can then be submitted. When the claimed part is submitted, the claims processing system will validate that verification has been

obtained. Failure to submit the required paperwork with the claim will result in automatic debiting. Returning a claimed part without a Diagnostic

Verification will result in automatic debiting of the claim.

^ If the QEC inspection does not confirm the diagnosis as stated in the Diagnostic Verification case, the warranty claim is subject to debit.

Please refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to specify parts accordingly and refer to Paragon to check availability of the specified parts. If you

have any questions with specification or availability, contact the PAC.

Vibrations in vehicle.

The vibrations are vehicle speed-dependent and occur as of approx. 40MPH.

Note:

Speed-dependent complaints also occur when the clutch is disengaged and in selector lever position N.

Cause:

The vibrations can be caused by the following:

1) Radial force variations and/or imbalance in the front wheels are transferred to the vehicle in the form of vibrations.

2) The propeller shaft is damaged or the propeller shaft centre support bearing is installed under stress.

Note:

Modifications, bodies and tire replacement affect the vehicle characteristics and can cause a complaint.

Tires not recommended by Mercedes-Benz can aggravate this problem.

Remedy:

The complaint must be reproduced by means of a test drive.

If it is not possible to reproduce the complaint, contact the customer. Otherwise, process the following points one after the other.

1) Check wheels for damage and tire inflation pressure. Replace any damaged, unusable wheels. Correct the tire inflation pressure. If the deviations

are greater than 0.5 bar, correct them and perform a test drive.

2) Check radial force variation (RFV) of the front wheels/tires on a suitable balance machine. Match mount the wheels/tires if necessary.

3) Balance wheels on wheel balancing machine.

4) Mount the wheels. Ensure that they are seated centrally and tighten the wheel studs/wheel nuts finger-tight in a crosswise pattern, then tighten to

the required tightening torque.

5) Perform test drive. If the problem is still present, continue with step 6).

6) Check the propeller shaft (GW) for external damage.

7) Check whether the propeller shaft centre support bearing is seated under stress.

8) Perform test drive. If the complaint is still present, contact the contact person at the national representative office.

Cause:

Before starting repair work to rectify leaks, carefully check what type of leak is present at the affected major assembly.

Page 94

Moist areas from which no fluid is dripping off or draining away do not represent cause for complaint. These are caused by the phenomenon of

"sweating" (see attachment).

This "sweating" cannot be avoided with the current state of the art and does not have any negative effects. This sweating may also be caused by

pregreasing of the pinion sealing ring.

Remedy:

Repairs due to sweating only produce an aesthetic improvement and are not justified.

To perform a precise check, clean the affected area thoroughly with a cloth and monitor over an appropriate period of time (approx. 1 week or max.

1000 km).

If necessary, check the rear axle oil level and the housing ventilation up to the frame crossmember.

If fluid is dripping or draining off visibly, a leak is present which must be eliminated by performing appropriate repair work as described in WIS.

If a leak is present, also replace the standard oil drain screw with a magnetic oil drain screw A 000 990 58 17.
