You’re overthinking this... The “codes” or errors are snapshots of faults that have occurred in the past or are currently present. The system will continue to operate properly in most cases, even with a fault code present.
Some faults are “soft” in that if they only happen a few times and don’t reoccur they go away. This would be like the CEL you get if your gas cap isn’t on tightly, for example. Faults that meet or exceed a frequency thats not deemed acceptable are “hard” faults that don’t go away on their own and need to be cleared by the SDS. And example of this might be powering up the car while the airbag is disconnected, which results in a hard fault in the SRS system. It may mean that device or system is no longer functional. -D > On Jun 26, 2019, at 9:25 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <[email protected]> wrote: > > It did show that 3 shift solenoids had errors and I cleared those but I guess > there are more deeper in there.
