Re: Issue with lane assist in Mazda 3.

The owner's manual outlines many instances in which the lane maintain assist may not operate at optimal efficiency, along with the requisite parameters for effective use. Certain sensitivities appear to be adjustable in car settings. Is lane-keeping aid included among them? I cannot remember immedia...

Examine the topic for other posts regarding this issue, as it appears to be a prevalent worry. The majority of individuals adjust the time manually through the time/date settings.

Re: Enigmatic Transmission Complication

Indeed, that is the 5HP24 gearbox. Is there a method to inspect the solenoid, and where is it located within the gearbox? A connector may have become loose.


Thank you for your contribution!

Re: 2016 SL63 roof complications

I can not see how the baggage cover might influence anything apart from the roof function; yet, I question if the speed sensors or reluctor rings are deteriorating. During a R class session, I had a problem where the vehicle displayed a speed of 1500 kph when stationary and was inoperable.

Re: Optimal headlight bulbs

Consider investing in a headlamp cleaning kit.

Re: Optimal headlight bulbs

Replace original halogen headlights with halogen bulbs. Halogen, HID, and LED lights exhibit distinct illumination patterns, necessitating varied headlamps and lenses.

Re: Electronic Stability Program and Anti-lock Braking System absence of display The vehicle fails to start.

I would begin by inspecting the vehicle for electrical power at the ECU connections and any indications of damage. I would further attempt to scan the vehicle while it is in operation (disconnect to begin and then reconnect). My W211 indicates a lack of contact with the ABS unless the engine is oper...

Re: Electronic Stability Program and Anti-lock Braking System absence of display The vehicle fails to start.

Previously, when I had an ABS failure with absent speed values, the vehicle would still start and operate. It seems to me that this situation is more severe, akin to a short circuit in the loom.

What leads you to believe it is ABS?
