I work on Mercedes on/off. One of the question I have before purchasing this tool is whether the Maxisys Elite supports programming the SRS control module for an '03 Mercedes R230 SL55. Vehicle was built in March '03. I have to possibly replace the SRS module with either a new one or a used one as it is faulty.
Thanks for your help.
Anyone can help me that has used the Elite for SRS programming specific to this model year? Autel Support??
Appreciate your help. This will help me in my decision to purchase or not or if you have any other feedback.
Thanks Emmanuel89. I'm planning on replacing the SRS module as it has a B1000 code on it. Tried clearing it, but it just comes back.. The code is basically a bad module. Vehicle was never in an accident.
I'm planning on replacing the module with a new one, but will need to code the VIN onto it. Wasn't sure if the Elite had the capability with this model year. This is one of the incentives of buying the Elite for future projects or not. But, Autel Support seems to be minimal to none on this support forum and that causes me great concern.
I'm curious about what you said in regards to buying a "used" module and sending it in for reset. I'm assuming the module is hard coded with the original VIN. Some people say as long as you get another one that is the same year, manufacturer, and/or options, it should be plug and play assuming hasn't been into an accident in which you would send it in for repair. Just wondering if it will work with the hard coded VIN... Hmmm......
