Mercedes-Benz: "check engine" "engine electronics"

You mean they have returned, or they simply persisted? You have to reset a
stored code (with a scanner) or hjave a dealer do it.

Those warnings came on one morning when starting. The dash glow plug
indicator continued to display indicating the real problem was in the GP
system. I replaced the GPs and now the GP indicator does not stay lit.
The other warnings are persisting.

I was hoping there would be a way for me to reset the computer without
losing a day dealing with a dealer.

tnx/pjs

then drive the car for a mile or two (to reset things). Sometimes a cold
reset will leave things scrambled at first, ie: the sunroof switch actions
seem reversed, "express" down on the windows will not work, etc. etc but
after driving a mile or two and then turning the car completely off (as in
remove the key), when it is restarted things will once again work and the
databases will continue to be rebuilt.

This will not alter the odometer reading nor the "miles to next service"
count.
