If my ETA went bad, I would consider looking for the dealer who would sell a new one at the lowest cost. By the time you wait for someone like 4mercedes to rebuild it, and then take the chance that the rebuild is DOA (it happens), it's probably not worth the down time.
I will pull the codes....

The only thing i did (maybe wrong) is to rotate the gears inside by hand to check for functionality/cleanness/lube....etc.....other than that, everything looks fine?!

is that what caused this?
