W208 2000 - bas/ses / traction fault .

[Lipsylee]

Hello my clk has the traction light on , It had a replacement engine ecu and that had no vin number present which was sorted and now fine but the ses light is still on and when it was looked at that has no vin number assigned to it but it would not let us edit it so what do I need to do to sort this out ?

I looked at getting a second hand one but will that have the same problem ?

Your advice would be much appreciated

Thanks guys

Maybe the ECU needs coding to the car?

You cannot code an SRS Control unit once locked. They can be coded only once.

Youe options are:
1) Buy a new unit and have it coded by anyone who has a star system
2) Get yours "virginised" by one of the companies that say they can do this. I have not had much luck with these companies.

One for example.

Does that mean I can not buy a second hand one from eBay ect ?

You can, but as Jay said you need to get it 'virginised'
