STAR Diagnosis Benz S280 an Alarm Fault Oil Repair
An owner of Mercedes S280 sedan with W220 chassis says: " It is very
ofen to see that engine oil is less than 2L on the car meter
multi-function display. "
When I took the car, I pulled out the dipstick to check the car's oil level height is normal or not with V2015.05 MB SD Connect Compact 4 displaying oil Ievel temperature oil position and temperature. After asking the owner, I got that the car has been diagnosed in several large-scale diagnostic repair shops and they say the oil level sensor is faulty. And the sensor has been replaced in the two repair shop. Then they regarded the issue resolved because of the change of the sensor, but before long the multi-function meter will display on the oil than 2L.
Given the previously encountered failure and the solutions of replacing the oil level sensor, I decided to replace an oil level sensor. I then add the right amount of oil to refit after commissioning; the multifunction meter still shows the oil is less than 2L. Apparently, the problem was not oil level sensor. At this point I had some doubts that the car's mileage is not too much, but we had to consider whether there are some problem in the oil level sensor to the line between the right of the ME control module group or not. So it was measured with a multimeter oil level sensor 7 to 3 lead right side ME computer, which three lines are brownish-black, gray-blue and red and green. The measurements showed that each of the wires are normal, no breaks in. Is ME computer will be a problem? Of course, we can only think so, but must put it in the end. To accurately determine the fault, I have made a measurement of the line, but I still found no problems. Then, I continue to check the oil level sensor connector between right and SAM, but I found no bent pin, or damage to the phenomenon. The test sensor supply voltage is normal, with an oscilloscope measurement signal normal.
At that time, I was puzzled because if there is any problem on the multi-function display, ME computer, or CANBUS, MB SD Connect Compact 4 Wireless Star Diagnosis should be detected; however, we considered maybe the line virtual access are with some problems.
So we put the wires on the connector pin with a multimeter block to measure the voltage change between the voltage sensor and the right side of the SAM. The results were also found no abnormalities. And when we will lead with a pin inserted into the line terminal, the findings on the MB STAR multiplexer （I got the 2015.05 verison）showed that flashing on the black box of oil position, temperature and quality of the sensor and multi-function instrument dashboard also from time to time. If we remove pin lead and plug it directly, the fault would appear again. If we sway it back and forth by hand, the harness fault appear sometimes. Therefore, we drew a conclusion that the three pins on the right side of the engine computer connected to the oil position sensor B40 in the gray-blue line sometimes occurred virtual connection. After we dealt with it, the fault completely ruled out.
Having ruled out of the car after the failure, I got that in fact line virtual access problems on all types of vehicles are occurred relatively common, but it is relatively rare, in the Mercedes-Benz W220 chassis of the car because the level of technology of the car could not really make this failure occur. And because STAR diagnostic misled that the back and forth motion of the harness make the plug hard to change sometimes, and our fault diagnosis brought some resistance. It also illustrates that, no matter what kind of vehicle, it is very necessary to have the conventional fault diagnosis and logical thinking.

Honda PCM code: HIM HDS or HDS IMMO PCM calculator -- OBD365
How do you obtain Honda PCM code (pincode), by using HIM HDS Honda Diagnostic System or HDS IMMO PCM code calculator? Of course, PCM access code should be read via software calculator by VIN.
To calculate a PCM access code you need to enter last 5 digits of VIN. PCM Code is required in cases when all car keys are lost or PCM/ECM Immobilizer replacement.
Honda HIM HDS diagnostic tool with double board is a comprehensive diagnostic/programming tool for Honda. HDS HIM supports read VIN and IMMO as well, but it CANNOT obtain PCM access code.
Honda HDS IMMO PCM calculator is able to:
1) Calculate old version HDS password 1 and password 2.
2) Calculate new version HDS PCM Code calculation.
3) Calculate Honda vehicle with 17 digit VIN number and Japanese produced Honda with 11 Digit VIN.
Obd365 here provides Honda HDS IMMO PCM Code Calculator free software download
http://down.obd365.com/honda-calculator.zip
Buy you need a USB dongle to plug into the computer to work with the program.
Both HIM HDS diagnostic system and IMMO PCM code calculator software will read VIN, but only PCM code calculator can read PCM access code. The better way is to read PCM code with calculator and then program key or program PCM with HIM HDS scan tool. Thus we offer the bundle package: Item No OB32 Honda HIM HDS + HDS immo PCM code calculator
How to use HDS IMMO PCM Code Calculator software?
1) Download the software in above link
2) No need to run software, directly run and use.
3) Connect USB dongle to calculate PCM code.
4) Open “HondaCalculator.exe”, it is this window as follows.
5) Manually enter the VIN when change your vehicle’s ECU/PCM. Your real VIN number may be different from your vehicle stored information.
Please note: PC date settings are must be correct because all of secret codes are calculating for the current day only.

Know about the MB Star Diagnostic tools
Anew Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe 2010 model owner was looking help
at obd365 customer service. Following questions and confuses he put
forward have been settled and will lead Benz MB STAR diagnostic system new beginners to a correct way.
Hey, I am new to STAR diagnosis field. I have been considering all of these questions:
1. All MB STAR system are look similar (Super MB STAR C3, MB STAR C3, SD Connect C4), are they all different?
2. Is the MB STAR diagnostic tool can operate on a Virtual machine? The shops sell Star tools with T30 and Dell 630 are running on Virtual Machine?
3. Can we order a MB STAR (C3 or SD C4) multiplexer + cables and install DAS/XENTRY alone (ie not buy everything HDD)?
4. What is the difference between MB STAR DAS and Xentry software?
That's a lot of questions, but it is difficult to find clear and precise answers. So I leave it to you! I’m interested in explanations, information, links etc, in French or English, Thanks!!
And following are the obd365 customer’s clear & precise answers:
1.
a. All STAR system shares the basic diagnostic software, like DAS, XENTRY, WIS, ST Finder etc. Super has much more software than other star diagnostic systems. Super MB SATR C3 has Develop Mode, Smart TAN code etc software etc that other Star tools does not have.
b. Super MB STAR C3 multiplexer can be updated online. MB SD Connect Compact 4 and MB STAR C3 do not support update.
c. MB SD Connect 4 is the newer and most respected Star tool for Mercedes models.
d. Best price MB SATR C3 version cannot support Benz trucks. Other Star multiplexers work both cars& trucks.
2. Yes, MB STAR external software HDD can be loaded on Virtual Machine. If you get T30 or Dell D630 format HDD, you can only loaded it on T30 or Dell D630 laptop. If you buy external HDD, you can install it on Virtual Machine. But internal HDD runs faster than external HDD.

3. If you need to buy Star Multiplexer without HDD, then go for this: Best quality MB STAR C3 without software HDD. The better suggestion is that you get the MB STAR SD Connect and Dell D630 laptop which software in pre-installed, you did not need to install software by yourself.

4.
MB STAR DAS: the automatically Diagnosis Assistance System
Xentry: New software released by Benz Company to diagnose new cars.
DAS in old software
XENTRY is newer software
The Star diagnostic tool it self determines which software you are going to use. That means STAR diagnosis will read your vehicle and enter into Xentry first, if your vehicle has to be done via DAS, it will go into DAS, otherwise it will stay in XENTRY)

Experience MB SD Connect C4 What Work
I've got a Chinese clone of SDConnect C4 and with a little effort managed to get to the level 9 authorizations (Very High).
Didn't try any fancy things like mileage/dpf removal since I don't need it, but switching heater booster to the water heater, enabling/disabling some cluster menus, enabling corner lights and integrating an aftermarket alarm and remote was like a walk in the park.
They are clear, I'm talking about the difference between the color temperature of halogen and xenon.
Something like 3700K vs 5000K. I was going to replace my cornering bulbs with some hotter LEDs, but then just got used to them.
Every time you turn the wheel, you get a reminder of how good was your decision to invest into xenon option.
Besides, I've done stuff like reset the adaptations on my transmission, drive-in adaptations on the transmission, and relearning of the throttle plate and sunroof. I had changed my battery and afterwards the sunroof would not go back smoothly. I went into the relearn function and voila it worked.
Plus, I can lower the suspension with Das-Xentry
Other than finding and reading faults, SDConnect C4 can be used to modify and adjust settings on control units (as well as add oem equipment) which are unavailable in the standard version, but the 'developer' version,
*Be careful in using in developer mode as you can seriously screw up all the controlling car-confusers and no dealer ever knows how, or wants, to fix it for you.
Someone asked "Does it allow one to update TCU/ECU programming to newer/latest versions (presuming you get a recent release)?" the answer is For this you have to have access to dealer-network to get the latest and greatest, which is highly unlikely with a Chinese clone system.
If it’s not broken don’t fix it, especially with complex stuff you are not sure what you are doing.
For the rest its an expense well spent if you are technically inclined and doing your own maintenance and/or repairs.
Some users recommend machine-specific hard drive with pre-installed and ‘authorized’ software, I.E SD connect C4 plus Dell D630 laptop, because they consider SD connect with external hard drive is not good at the following aspects.
External hard drive yes and no:
1) If laptop broke, you could just plug it into another machine.
2) It’s a lot slower than running it from disk, because of VMWare overhead. If you use it 2 or 3 times a year, a VM solution is perfectly fine.
3) Hangs off the machine and can be damaged as you move the laptop around. If you pick up the laptop, the USB drive unplugs, then it will fall to the ground and you’re cooked.
Internal Hard drive advantages:
1) Much faster, if you use it quite a bit then go External hard drive.
2) Internal is so much nicer because now I just have the multiplexer and laptop to carry to the car. Nothing to unplug or fall off.
To summarize, no one tool is perfect, which one to get, it’s up to your decision according to your needs and budget. http://www.mbstartool.com

Do you know Autel Maxidas DS708 does all keys lost
I got one Autel Maxidas DS708
at obd365. I'm going to enjoy it, making good money with it already.
So, I would like to share what I experienced with all of you.
The following parts record what problem I had and finally I solve the solution.
12th May, 2015:
I thought I would bump this up since I just got ds 708. I tried rewriting vin and pin to replacement immobilizer, type 2 Chrysler, no success. Said no communication. Had correct pin for replacement, pulled it with Spanish T300. I am not sure is it possible, and what I did wrong. Got vehicle running by inputting replacement immobilizer to PCM. But now have immobilizer and Pcm with wrong VIN.
Then I was advised to do:
Chrysler>>>body>>>misc. function>>>PCM or skim replace.>>> then follow the menu.
I followed his path above, but at skim replace, it decided to tell me it could not comm with the immo. Codes kept telling me vins were not matched, but the only way i could find to match them was to put replacement immo vin into existing PCM. I do not know if there have been some kind of lockout in replacement immo? I did have an hour lockout after pulling pin, maybe it was still in lockout? Left ignition on for over one hour. Car was in paint shop at auto body place today, I have one more crack at it tomorrow afternoon
Finally, I solve it by myself, and successful at programming key.
Ds708 did a 99 Nissan Maxima with DS708 work great, no problems programming keys.
Did a 2004 infiniti G35 all keys lost
I should have had this tool 5 years ago
Of course, it helped me sort out troublesome cars on many occasions, the tool was definitely worth the money.
FYI:
Ds708 first gen.
ds807 is clone unit
ds908 maxsys newest
The Autel Tool is an American Company Tool but, Made in China. Autel have its head office in China and in America as well. But all the tools are made from the same factory in China, see the address http://www.auteltech.com/CustomerSupport/413.jhtml

(Quote) too much info dedicated to MB Star
While searching for a fix for another member I have come across a blog dedicated to MB Star and
it has 8 pages of how to's images and tutorials, as well as common
problems with star units and how to go about fixing/updating them etc
Far too much info for me to copy and paste here so here is the link
Technical - http://blog.mbstartool.com/category/mb-star-tech-support/page/3/
Software - http://blog.mbstartool.com/category/mb-star-software-service/
The number 3 in the URL is the page number (last page at time of posting this is page 8), you can just change that to say 5 or 6 etc if you don't want to navigate through the "older posts" - "newer posts"
Around page 6-5 downwards it starts getting into tweaks for example a few are
gas tank mod
fan mod
lowering
seatbelt chime
tv/dvd while driving
SBC
Speed Limiter
Transmission
Telephone
TPMS
How to Chip your Multiplexer
the list goes on, it's a good read
* Mods if the link is not allowed on this site please remove this post
There seems to be quite a few STAR posts popping up so I hope this helps

MB SD C4 Connect Error OBD365 Technical support
Getting an error message when I try to connect to the vehicle. It
says "Initialization of diagnosis multiplexer failed...." [fault
(1.1)-1.501.9551]. I have only used the machine once and now this is
happening. Can you help me with this please?
Solution:
1) SETUP problem.
If you bought SD connect compact 4, please check the setup information. If IP address, WIFI setup all is ok. Please see the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql3vKstL_4k
2) Software problem.
If you bought SD Connect compact 4, you cannot use ordinary star software for c3/c4. SD C4 software only can be used on SD C4, cannot be used on other star, like c3, c4, super star c3. Other C3, C4, SUPER C3 software cannot be used on SD C4 too. Check if you bought the wrong software.
Do you install other software on the PC or HDD? Do you use anti-virus software on your PC? Another reason is your software is destroyed.
3) Firmware problem or connection problem.
Check your connection, if cable is connected rightly and tightly. Cable has problem? Cable is the right one?
If cable do not have problem. Check your firmware. If your software HDD is internal, then do the self test. star diagnosis

Buy OBD365 Ford pats incode/outcode tool
If you make many Ford's, I think the best option is newest handheld Ford Calculator FMPC001. FMPC001 supports 6 digits OUTCODE transfer to 4 digits INCODE for old Ford and Mazda.
In order to help Ford locksmiths know more details on Ford Calculator FMPC001, I include some questions and answers as follows.
Q: Is FMPC001 with Tokens as the old one that with USB dongle (SS23-2K)
A: No tokens limitation
Q: Any test 2014+ mondeo or Lincoln MKZ Dyzio?
A: Work for 2014+ new Focus3, 2010+ Kuga, 2014+ Mondeo, etc.
Q: How long take calculation with it?
I just program key for Ford Focus 2013 with zed full it take 5min so I wonder how far this function will work for that car too in this time
Q: will it work with x100?
A: should work with all tools
Q: How FMPC001 Calculator work?
A: I bought a couple of them and I tested on one of Ford Mondeo 2010 and it spitted out new code correctly while the old incode/outcode was NOT accepted. You need to select make-model and initialize the software before you proceed the key programming process, it seems to me that it talks to ECU/DASH/BCM and grabs some dump.
