Perform SCN Coding for Engine Control Unit
This is to notify you of an Emission Service Campaign launch to update the SCN coding for SCR and VGS on 3,704 Model Year (“MY”) 2009-2012 ML-Class, R-Class, and S-Class (164/166, 251, 221 platforms) vehicles. The vehicles will be visible and flagged in VMI as “OPEN” on December 12, 2023.
Issue
Mercedes-Benz AG (“MBAG”), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain Model Year (“MY”) 2009-2012 GL-Class, ML-Class, R-Class, and S-Class (164/166, 251, 221 platforms) vehicles, the coding for the engine control unit does not correspond to the specifications as part of the “BlueTEC update” diesel field measure (aka “Emission Modification”). This could result in the VIN number not being read out from the vehicle. This could affect the vehicle smog check.
What We’re Doing
MBUSA will conduct an Emission Service Campaign in which an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the SCN coding for the engine control unit on the affected vehicles.
