I have a real mbz dtc reader which gives me codes for the op and ea/cs/sci systems but shows 'no ecu control or no data' for sfi, ezl and di systems.

If the replacement w/h wasn't compatible with your model, that would explain why . . . the PN is marked on the cable near the bend in the firewall.

Or possibly the correct w/h was installed incorrectly?

BTW, you have other threads going on the same problem. It's best to keep the info in one thread IMO.

When I rebuilt my harness, I noticed that the 92 harness was a different part number than the 93 harness, etc. In your earlier post, you mentioned that the new harness you have is for a 400e/e420. They are different part numbers. Could that be what is holding you up here?
