Hi, hope to find some help with this.... 2000 CL500 with 65,000 miles... One morning would crank over normally, but would not start....
In order this is what I have done, with no fix..:
1. Changed the fuel filter.
2. Changed the fuel pump. (with a "VDO" parts store did show the pump was a direct replacement)
3. Recharged battery... ( Not because of low charge, just in case )
4. Pulled a "0110" error code... ( Temp. Circut malfunction)????? Wiring looks fine..
5. Removed and "cleaned" the Mass sensor.... used alcohol. Let dry for 1 hour... placed mass sensor on air intake (no housing).... nothing...
6. I have checked fuses between each of the above......
7. The car has a Brabus lowering module wich has been blinking 2 short, 3 long flashes??????
8. Suspension looks okay. Although height switch has two leds lit and sport switch is also on.....
..
If I was not getting spark, would I not get a error code?
...
Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks

I replaced the crankshaft position sensor,, now the cl500 starts....
..
But now the auto trunk closing and both windows (auto "final closing" is not working properly....
..
Also a ABC warning is on display ( suspension control ) ?
..
Anyone have any ideas?
..
Thanks for any suggestions

Hi,
Another update:
Car does start and now runs fine.
Mass error code caused by bad connection @ sensor. ( My error )
Trunk issue caused by low battery charge. ( recharged battery )
Brake error codes were removed by turning wheel completly left and right.
.....
It is evident that whenever one does this type of repair a organized approach must be followed. ( I will try to remember )
.....
I am still working to get rid of the ABC trouble code. I have checked the fuses and switched the height & sport switches on and off numerous times. This I believe cycles the system.
The car does have a Barbus lowering module. During the above problems, the module was removed and again hooked up.
The ride height looks even and normal... Maybe I caused a problem when I jacked up the car to RR the fuel pump?
...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
