94 E420 LED Code 6 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Hi folks,

I was graced by the check engine light today. Pushed the button on the LED device, and got 6 flashes back.
I need to make Arthur's code reader gadget now, don't I?

What realm of electrical magic does this code 6 point towards anyway? The car behaves "normally" so far, the only thing worth mentioning is that the last few months it's been a little hard to start when warm.

Thanks!

-Larry

EDIT: See Arthur D's comment below

BTW: Is your car equipped with ASR?

Incorrect info...stick to ebaying the tool..

Larry,
Your car has 38 pin and you want to start by going to EA/CC module and see what is there at pin 7... do 17 while you are there.
Clear the CE for now..

I'm sorry, Arthur is correct. I thought you had an E320, not 420. My bad.

I suppose that I could blame a subdued panic on my part, for not checking further for more codes.

Pushing the button to show the LED codes revealed two more codes: 17 and 26.
(I haven't gotten to the Shack yet to build the reader gadget)

I also noticed a noise that seems new to me. It is a medium high pitched "wheeeeeeeeee" and it seems to be coming from the intake area - does the air mass sensor make any sort of noise?? Also, I am pretty sure I smelled gasoline - not copious amounts, but enough to be definitely noticable (while I was looking/listening for the noise).

I cleared the codes today - I'll see if they come back tomorrow.
