ECU failure OM613 320 CDI - BarryD - 02-11-2015

Hi there, i'm new here and trying to find an answer on my problem.. hope you can help me out.

At the moment we're building up an 320 CDI OM613 engine for in a boat.
We are now so far that the engines runs well. BUT.. the original ECU unit has an error with the automatic (transmission).

Does anyone know how to get rid off this error? What do I need to do? And how?

I will try to upload a video of the engine so you can see what we are talking about:



Regards, Barry

Tidy looking engine, Does the ECU have a Park or neutral switch/sensor? 

A little more detail on the issue would help identify the problem.



RE: ECU failure OM613 320 CDI - BarryD - 02-11-2015

Yes, according to the ECU's scheme there is a neutral switch..

Few questions. Are you using the key and eis from the original car? What car is this from? Do you have a shifter hooked up and the tcu?
Basically you probably can ignore the transmission errors. Unless you have the tcu installed then what you need to do is remove the tcu. From what I have seen you need to send traction data for how fast the car is moving over the CAN bus. This is what allows the engine to rev up past the soft rev.

Yes, the original key and EIS is used. This engine is from a 320 E-class 2002.
No shifter and tcu connected.

OK, can you tell me how to send the traction date over the CAN bus? Is there a special module for?


RE: ECU failure OM613 320 CDI - whipplem104 - 02-11-2015

No you would have to write code to a module that would do this. I have been working on some stuff for some projects of mine but I have not implemented anything yet. Waiting on a piece of hardware software that should be coming out in a while to make things easier.
How did you get it to start without the shifter or tcu. It should require a neutral safety release from the tcu or shifter to even activate the starter. Did you just jump the starter with the key on.


RE: ECU failure OM613 320 CDI - BarryD - 02-12-2015

OK, unfortunately. Please keep me posted about that..

Does anyone else know somebody who can modify the software of the original ECU?


RE: ECU failure OM613 320 CDI - Turbo - 02-12-2015

I might know one
pm me and I give you information
