Check engine error codes P0170 and P0173

A common issue on Mercedes that set those codes is a defective Mass Airflow Sensor. You would need to connect a scan tool and look at the airflow the MAF is reporting to make sure. At idle you should see between 3.5 - 4.5 grams per second and between 8 and 12 g/s at 2500 no load rpm. Be careful of the lower cost replacements, very often they are out of spec as well.

Thank You. But car is running normally,there is no any change in the vehicle work,only codes.

Mercedes is one of the few companies that use those codes. They show that the ECM is pushing the fuel trim controls over the range they are supposed to operate in. They use a very narrow range compared to other makes. You may not notice the minor change in mileage they cause or other minute changes. However the computer sees them and sets those codes. The only real way to find the problem is to watch the numbers live.

Thank You for answer! Experts say different things o2 sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, Maf,inject, other say nothing do not worry it is dirty fuel problem, just add 100 ml 96% medical alcohol. who to believe? I want to know what the exact problem. I do not trust anyone. now put my pictures, I do not know what they mean, I captured when the car is off, something they say.

Hey JACKDOIT,

My wife has this car and I just went through a whole ordeal with a code that involved the intake camshaft problem, the bottom line is the car had a boot between the mass air flow sensor and the blower which I replaced. The codes kept coming up, I finally figured out that the adaptation of the computer needed to be cleared so the computer could "relearn" the engine again, have not had a problem since.

This cannot be done with a normal scanner and must be done with the mercedes tool with the appropriate program.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Hey Ken. Thank You!
I still have not solved the problem,I think it's all about Maf sensor,but there is no one simptoms about faulty MAF

Yep, if the MAF is not reading correctly it will cause problems but may not be enough to trigger a check engine light.

I wish you were close I have one right here you could try :)

Let us know.

Best, Ken

Hey friends ! The problem was solved.The reason was related to Intake Manifold Runner control flap.I saw with my own eyes,there is broken air flap repair kit.....
