(Solved) Mercedes W203 EDC16C2 ECU problem not crank and not read on BDM

This post begins with Mercedes W203 EDC16C2 ECU problem that MPC556LF8MZP40 wont crank and ecu not possible to read on BDM, and finally solve the problem. To know how to solve this problem, go on reading.

Car model and year:
MERCEDES W203 EDC16C2 ecu 0281012451 A6461504091.
IT HAS EXTERNAL EEPROM EXTERNAL FLASH AND MPC.

Problem:
Ecu has problem with MPC556LF8MZP40.
It wont cranck untill you heat mpc little bit. Around 20C.
Also ecu is not possible to read on BDM. It cant recognize it.

What tool used to test?
Tested with FGTech Galletto and BDM100 ECU programmer

Detailed problem description:
So I found DUMPS on forum readed with DIMSPORT.
Because i am not sure that dumps are ok, i have to program them in to another same cu from W211 so i can test it on mercedes w203.
After programming W211 ecu with BDM100 in dimsport software i use external eeprom from W203 ecu and program it in w211 ecu.
I test it on car and everything went fine. Car start and no fault (checked with DAS).
After testing i use GALETTO and read w211 ecu and save files. So i have files that work.
Then i start to searcH for used MPC556LF8MZP40, and i found it in FORD FOCUS EDC16 working ECU.
I resolder it from ford ecu and re-ball it and solder it on mercedes w203 ecu. I connect it with GALETTO and finally i can connect it.
When i look better i saw that eeprom PROGRAMM and READ options are disable.
So i was thinking ok that was wrong dump inside MPC and i start with programming MPC. After programming MPC i restart the ecu and same problem.
OK i have to program also external FLASH and MPC. Maybe that could be the problem.
After programming MPC and flash i have still the same situation. Not possible to read and program external EEPROM.

Finally, Solved!!!
Problem was bad mpc. When i heat it littlebit i get access to the eeprom. i replace new mpc and now cor run smootlhy.

What’s the difference of the VVDI 2 and VVDI Prog?

Xhorse Tech has newly released two powerful OBD tools: VVDI Prog and VVDI 2. What’s the difference between VAG Vehicle Diagnostic Interface VVDI2 and VVDI-Prog?

Xhorse VVDI 2 VVDI II Key Programmer
Xhorse VVDI prog Super programmer
Major difference:
(detail comparison, please check table below)
VVDI 2 is the update version for VVDI (Item number SV30), it inherited VVDI all features, mainly used to diagnose, programming ECU and keys and so on. VVDI2 added other features:

VVDI 2=VVDI options + BMW Multi Tool options+Porsche options+J2534(free)+ Tango(free)+Remote control generation(free).....more other function

While VVDI prog is a newly developed ECU programmer mainly for EEPROM ECU, MCU programming and pin code calculation.

VVDI PROG=(BMW ISN READ)+(EERPOM read)+(mcu read MOTO 9S12,5M48****)+PIN Code Calculation(more pin coder Algorithm ,than 40 type)

In short, VVDI 2 is a comprehensive OBD tool for diagnose and programming (program ECU and program keys). VVDI Prog turns to be an car ECU programmer.

2015 Original Xhorse VVDI PRO VVDI 2 VVDI II

Original Xhorse VVDI 2 or VVDI PRO—the second generation VVDI (VAG Vehicle Diagnostic Interface) is available in obdexpress.co.uk.

VVDI2 inherited all VVDI features& functions. What’s more, VVDI 2 newly developed some advanced features that make it a more powerful OBD tool.

VVDI2=VVDI options + BMW Multi Tool options+Porsche options+J2534(free)+ Tango(free)+Remote control generation(free).....more other function.

VVDI 2/VVDI PRO Top features:
1) Including all VVDI functions, improved and more stable
2) More vehicle coverage, multi Immo functions
3) New added plug-in function and reserved connectors to include all VVDI functions
4) VVDI PROG includes all the VVDI functions, The function of Tango, Remote control generation and chip identification is improved, And also the coil’s stability has been enhanced.
5) Do not need to connect VVDI Pro with computer to identify chip or detect remote frequently.
6) Add more vehicle models
VVDI supports diagnostic function only for VAG groups, But VVDI PROG has achieved multi brand vehicle diagnosis and supports part of vehicle immo programming function and software online upgrade.

VVDI PROG can replace lots of customized devices. Users do not need to purchase specific OBD tool for specific vehicle makes which will save you a lot.

7) Plug-in function, reserved connectors
VVDI 2 can act as a multifunction programmer to connect plug-ins, and read & write IC and CPU data.
Can read and write Benz IR key, Can program key for old and new Mercedes–Benz, Can connect BMW plug to realize OBD function, And meanwhile reserve some connectors for further uses.
The core function is to detect the remote control frequency;
Automatically identify chip type
Support multi-function on VW vehicles
Read BMW ISN
Key programmer
Remote control programmer
J2534 compatible adapter

VVDI II Functions:
1.Detect key frequency, automatically identify chip type
The test result can show on the main unit display, no need to connect computer
2. Support VAG vehicle diagnostic function
Read & write Immo4/Immo5 system
Learn key
Program BCM remote
K-Line instrument immobilizer box
Correct odometer
Program control unit
Unlock Immo1/Immo2 firmware protection
Support data manipulation tools

3.Support OBD functions on BMW vehicles.
Correct odometer
Generate key
Unlock Key
Fix CAS4 EEPROM key programmer
Generate specialized chips
Immobilizer data processing tool
Other key tools
Generate remote control

4. Pass-thru J2534 Function
With built-in switch matrix, it supports third-party diagnostic software including: ODIS, Toyota TIS techstream etc. To perform VVDI2 diagnostic function, third-party diagnostic software should be compatible with J2534 function.

VVDI2 example in action:
VVDI Program Porsche key
VVDI PRO key programmer program Audi key

How to lower Jaguar X350 air suspension with JLR mangoose SDD

Here is the inscription on resetting air suspension value for Jaguar X350 with Jaguar and Land Rover JLR mangoose SDD diagnostic system or Ford VCM II IDS / SDD for Ford, Jaguar and Land rover.

NOTE:
Before re-calibrate air suspension value, you need to fit some longer rods to the height sensors and some shims under the mounting brackets of the height sensors.
Equipments:
JLR mangoose SDD OBD II diagnostic interface or Ford VCM2 IDS / SDD for Ford and JLR
A laptop running Win XP home
Instruction:
Well install Mangoose SDD software
Connect the mangoose cable with vehicle via OBD socket
Wait the SDD to read VIN automatically and display vehicle information
Run an though scan of the car, and go to "Service Function" program
Locate "Air Suspension calibration" option on the list

Turn ignition OFF
Turn ignition ON and start the engine
Wait the SDD levels out and adjusts the suspension, the SDD software will pops out "Air suspension leveling in progress" notice. The compressor will run and the shocks fill and bleed. Finally, it will level out the correct ride height.

Measure the distance from the centre of each wheel to the apex of the each wheelarch in millimeters using the ride height gauge 204-484 For example:. Front at 386mm and the rear at 373mm, write down these numbers.
If the car is not sting at this height, it needs to be calibrated to the factory settings. If it is correct set, you can start calibrate the suspension.
Follow the picture below to measure the ride height

If you do not have this tool, you can measure the ride height using tape measure from the inside edge of the wheel arch, this is not the same as the outside edge. Remove the center caps from the wheels. The growler has a line exactly in the middle if you turn it 90 ° which makes measuring easier.

The Ford IDS will prompt you to enter the front left ride height value in mm, to add the amount that you want to lower the car compared to the factory setting.
Example, if you want to lower the front by 15mm, to 371mm, and the front is actually at the factory height of 386mm, then enter 401mm into the VCM IDS. Measure the other side and add the same amount. After you measure 4 corners , the car will go through a leveling cycle and adjust to the new height.
Continue to measure all four corners follow the same procedure above.
Once again you have to enter values ​​into the IDS, by adding the amount you want to lower the car.
Follow the above reference, you should now be measuring 371mm, add 15mm to it & enter 386mm (factory value).
The IDS will report "The air suspension unit has calibrated successfully" when is completed.
Have a check of your car
Exit JLR SDD or VCM2 IDS / SDD software program.
Disconnect mangoose cable or Ford VCM2 for Ford and JLR diagnostic system from vehicle.
