G'day Folks,

I thought I'd post up this nugget of information in a separate thread.

Coming from a simple / old fashioned vehicle / diesel background I've been struggling with KE CIS systems.

User supercow sent me a whole load of information that I diligently read. Reading the foot notes I came across this =>



So on SOME W201s and W124s with Bosch KE fuel injection systems there's a Hall effect sensor on the output of the MECHANICAL speedometer cable.



Number 5 in the picture above.

So if like me you have random stalling and fluctuating revs and you've mistakenly thought the operation of your mechanical speedometer was not important - think again!

Note also =>

Error codes for road speed sensor B6 are not stored in the "computer" as usual. Switch off the ignition and they are gone!

Drives me effing mad this KE ****...
