How to Reset Mercedes Brake SBC Threshold Counter - Warning Light 

Thank you sir! I have a 2006 e350 with this issue… so I ordered the device off of Amazon… I just got my device, I did what you said and it worked immediately! For some reason it didn’t reset while my car was off, so I turned it on and it worked Thank you❤

Great info bro

Thank you!

Hi thnx i just brought a used 2005 c320 & this is on the dash. Very helpful will try after i try replacing brakes 1st. Thnx

I will try again thank you very

Great video with heaps of great info, but how can you live with that diesel sound?

It is sad that in South Africa, where I live, Mercedes never extended the warranty on the SBC units. You have to pay for it yourself. My '05 E240 is on blocks because the replacement units cost a fortune.

Thanks !! U got 👍🏼

I’m not sure about outside of the US but in the US Mercedes has extended this warranty for 25 years / unlimited mileage. I would suggest people check with a dealer for free service before doing this reset as that may effect if Mercedes replaces the sbc pump or not.

Do u press and hold till u hear a beep or press once and let go? Thanks

iT IS EXCELLENT INFORMATION IF IT IS TRUE

Is this one time use or can it be used for several vehicles.

Sorry on typo......does the A 009 on SBC block denote it is made in year 2009?.

Does tool comes with cable, i got same problem in my w211 e270 cdi

I have a 2006 Mercedes e500 4matic is there a link so that I can find that part to reset my SBC

You don’t need to flush the brakes or anything? And is it safe to do this

Do you have the link to that I'm looking for 1 to scan my e500

Will it work on a 2004 e500?

do you have still that car ,wont ask if your sbc still work fine

Will it work for c2131 on e500 2003.

In US MB will change the SBC for free. I guess till 25 years from cars production date. Just ask your local MB workshop. The reset you did can become dangerous because the SBC might lose its function without warning. So you are left without break force increase. You still can break but much slower and in case the SBC loses its function in the wrong situation you are screwed...

I have a 2005 E500 with a torn break line im sure i should replace the break line and refill the fluid before doing this correct?

This obd need to program to. Cuz IL try my mom benz doesn't work e 500 2005

I got this tool because of this video and it hasn’t worked it went through the process and no different

I bought the same device, I did everything as in the video, it has no effect, I would be glad if you can help me.

Turn the ignition where all the lights turn on or turn the engine on before doing this

I have Mercedes sl350 2009 r230 this device not working on my car what should i do? Same code my car have (service threshold reached)

I thought that was under a lifetime warranty

Is it drivable after doing this?

I tried to do the same but don't work

I bought the item but nothing happens when I use it.

I bought that but unfortunately it didn’t work for me 😢sent it back

Why would you do that when the warranty for SBC brakes is 25 years and unlimited mileage?

Mercedes NA extended the warranty on theciriginal and subsequent new units because of a class action lawsuit against them in U.S. They didn't really want to do it out of the goodness of their Teutonic heart. In other countries I guess they feel they can get away with any potential liability issue because people in other countries aren't nearly as litigious as in U.S. If one American died from failure if the SBC, MB would have been found liable and been forced to pay out not millions, but billions. Gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

Good video only problem is you skipped some parts...such as where to find the OBD2 connector for all Mercedes...I have a 2011 GL450 and so your video doesn't really help

Already had my SBC replaced for free from MercedesBenz on my E500 Wagon when brakes went out and got the ominous Red warning light on the instrument panel. Now have to bring in my E55 for same "Brake" malfunction message. Brakes are working fine but aince MB will replace the SBC, I think that os better route than eventually having the brakes go out. That was quite a dangerous occurrence on the E500 but i was only going 2 mph when it happened so no tragedy. Mercedes will even reimburse you for work done by your own mechanic as long as you provide all documentation that the work was done correctly and then bring the car in to MB to let them inspect the work. Must bring receipt for the genuine Mercedes SBC unit installed and installation fees paid.

Don't do any of this. Almost every part of the SBC system is covered under an extended 25 year warranty. Get it professionally fixed for free at any Mercedes dealer.

Using this tool is ignoring the recommended service interval of the SBC pump. It is no different than resetting your service interval and not changing the oil and filter and carrying out, other service items that are required.

From other U tuber the reservoir pressure supposedly to be up to 120barg, pretension pressure suppose to be 70barg. At brake pedal depression of 18mm the outgoing brake fluid pressure is about 8barg. At 23mm it goes up above 17barg. I borrowed a low end OBD2 which shows only 3 readings for outgoing brake fluid pressure and brake pedal depression. The same resetting tool as this I bought are a dud. Had to get a workshop to reset. The SBC block number starts from A 004? Then yearly at A 006, A O07, A 008 and to the last one A 009........denoting year 2007?. 😂😂😂

What happens if you hit the 100% button
