@@adamalami9625 Because removing procedure is a complex process that we developed for "in house" use. People can remove it different ways, but the safest and most reliable we keep as a secret so far.
@@ECUTeamCorp i finally removed it without damaging the module. Do I have to buy a new one and try to program it or should just buy the motor inside and put it back together . And I really appreciate you helping out people. Cuz dealerships are ripping ppl off left and right .
@@adamalami9625 Thank you for the reply and feedback. I appreciate that. Well, I'll be honest with you. Motor swap for this ESL is not really a good thing to do. Most of the time the actual chipset inside goes bad and even you install the motor, most likely it won't work. Even if you get lucky and it works in your case, be sure it won't last long. Because of the manufacturer design, it's made to break. That's why we offer much better solution. Steering lock emulator, that looks same a the actual lock. It won't lock or unlock the steering column, but I guess you don't even need this useless feature. If someone is planning to steal your car, they'll just tow it 😁😁😁 However this emulator works very well, never gives a problem. And you can keep driving without worrying about unsafe parts of this car. Let me know if you have other questions.
I own Mercedes Benz A180 W169.I have a strange ignition issue: I put thr key in and I can always hear the click sound.Problem is,I have no lights on the dashboard when I turn the key.If I keep switching eventually I get the dashboard lights and that’s how I know engine will start.Sometimes it takes 15-20 minutes to get the dashboard lights! I don’t know if councidence or not,but if I hit under the steering column,I get the dashboard lights on,but not all the time,sometimes without hitting and repeatetly switch on/off I can start the car.Its intermittent.What could it be? Is it the EIS module ,ESL module (the small motor inside) or just some wiring issue? It driving me crazy and I’m a bit afraid to start removing my column( I know I can set the ESL on unlocked position by turning ignition on and removing battery while its unlocked ).What is your opinion?
Hello! Thank you for your comment. Problem is with the steering lock, sounds like. The steering lock is about to die, that's why you are getting this intermittent problem. Also what year is your vehicle? You can send us your EIS + Key + Steering lock, we'll check it out for you. As said on the video, there is no "real" repair for this steering lock, that's why we offer emulator. It makes more sense to install emulator and never have this problem again, rather than put yourself in the same situation where Steering Lock can start acting up again. Please, contact us directly and we'll help you out. ecuteam.com/contact
ECU Team Corp hello,thank you for reply,it’s a 2005,Diesel SE.I just realised that knocking under the column doesn’t do anything,its enough just to turn ignition on/of repeatetly until dashboard comes on.The click sound I can hear absolutely every time I remove/insert the key,so I guess the lock works ok,so I’m thinking that my EIS is about to fail...hopefully it won’t be too expensive to fix/replace...I’ll save your link just in case,the most painfull part its the price probably :))
Question: Will installing their Emulator as opposed to the OE ESL Module give any error codes? You mentioned that it won’t communicate but it will start the car, so will not communicating will give any faults 🤔
Hi, great video, very clear explanation and useful info, thanks so much! It’s interesting that for me the factory ESL worked for 10 years, after which I had to change the ESL motor twice, within only 2 years. Also, the motors looked messy probably because of the carbon brushes wearing out. Why do you think the repairs only lasted a year each? Were the replacement motors already used or low quality, or did something break on the circuit board inside the ESL module after the first 10 years which now damages any motor you would install by overpowering it? Or is the overvoltage coming from outside the ESL? For example wires being wet, corroded or a grounding issue. If someone knew the exact source of the problem maybe it could be repaired for good. Thanks!
Hello! Thank you for your feedback. It helps a lot. You got very lucky that 2 motors in a row worked. Normally it's a problem with the actual computer that is inside of the ESL. When the ESL goes bad, the chipset inside of it stops working and no matter how many motors you are going to replace, it won't work. That's why I said you got lucky. New motors are not reliable because they are made in China, not Germany. That is why we suggest ESL Emulator, it is much more secure and reliable solution.
hi I have a 2011 MB C300 I need to send in my key switch (EIS) to get programmed to a new key fob the company that will be programming the key switch (EIS) to a new key fob need my key switch (EIS) I need to disconnect my battery because I need to remove my key switch (EIS) for at least two weeks. Does any one know if I will have problems with all the computers on board this car being that the battery will be disconnected for that long as I heard that Mercedes cant be with out power for a log time. pleased help thanks to all in advance.
Hey , I have this same problem, I took out to esl module and unplugged the blue connector from the esl module, but in the process the white connector also got unplugged, any tips on where the white connector plugs into
Hi! 90% of the time it is the ESL problem, sometimes it might be the key or ignition switch as well. We will need EIS, key and the ESL in order for us to determine your actual issue. Go to ecuteam.com/ for more info!
Question about my W204 C300. I believed it was the ESL because it would say “take key out of ignition” as soon as I put the key in and obviously it wouldn’t start but then I realized the steering wheel is free and does turn in both directions. Does anyone know what it could be or could it still somehow be the ESL?
@@ECUTeamCorp i already had requested a quote for the ECL but I was just waiting on that. I’ll send another an email over to see if we could find the issue
Hi. Watched the vid 2x. I think you skipped over the "programming" portion, for obvious reasons. Question I have been searching HI and Low for. Can these emulators be programmed with FACTORY MERCEDES software? IE like the dealership mech shop techs would be using.... Thanks
Hello! With Mercedes and BMW we always go with what we got in the facility and that is the original DEALER scanning tools. Unfortunalety it cannot be programmed using the dealer scanner tools there are other tools for this purpose.
This might be a coincidence I would say. Sometimes it happens when couple things goes bad at the same time. Ignition System has nothing to do with the ESP. And it could be 2 different things. ESP module as a separate unit (older Mercedes models) or if you are driving something newer than 2004, ESP module is integrated into the ABS Control Module, just replace it with the brand new one, because used one you can't program. And I don't thing anyone can do something like this.
Nice.I had lately same problem and I removed this part and put emulator instead and there will be no problem in the future.But question is why the factory not do this right at the factory????
We don't have this video on our channel yet. However you can try searching this info, I'm sure you can find the solution for that. Also if you think you don't want to mess with it, send us the entire steering column, we'll take it out for you. Thank you!
@@ECUTeamCorp One more question. I take out steering lock module and write eis data, but it starts 3 times and then no longer. Programmer says it's faulty again... Eis is click and not turn properly. Must I replace EIS also?
it would appear the little closing lid thing, is actually a switch. for when it gets dirty old and worn out, pulling the key out no longer immediately activates the steeringlock :P but wiggling it with your finger does :P it would also appear that when it's all screwed completely the car sometimes still starts if you ram the doors open button on the key a couple of times before inserting it. (even with all the rest of the central door locking stuff broken, it does somehow seem to pick up on the key being near it after pressing the button a few times in front of it ;P oddly enough. (ya know. those locks and keys only last like 400000km or so after which they start to develop 'key inserted but won't turn on dashboard and won't turn' 'nothing happens' scenarios :P oh the magic of a fleet of 10 year old sprinters. lol :P can't they simply replace it all with just a start/stop button (you know. an actual switch. none of that modern stuff ;P like on hmmvees :P LOL. way better. noone is gonna steal your old sprinters anyway (not anyone in their right mind unless they have a death wish :P LOL.
no idea why they don';t simply have a switch 'conversion set'. people simply leave the keys on the wheels outside anyway (which i'm sure doesn't improve the lastability ;P LOL. noone cares if they get stolen. they just have to work :P lol. (but then again. maybe simply telling drivers to only turn it on in the morning and just keep it running kinda helps with the lifespan of the ignition locks and keys :P lololololol. like not switch it off at every stop lol :P the whole thing is actually a fairly unreliable construction. compared to dudos and 602's cauzing more problems than it solves. :P sure it won't get stolen like it would with a switch or just a bosch key but if someone steals one. well. ya know. you got some 20 more cars doing the rounds. someone will catch them lol :P
the w124 system also wasn't without it's problems (car not returning key and not starting either, that sorta thing ;) but nothing 'weird' like this. lololol.

German Engineering.
So the only way to do it is to send you the original EIs ignition switch? You just can’t buy the emulator by it self
Yes, we need the EIS and key so we will be able to make a ESL emulator that would fit your car.
