In this article & video we will be Coding & Programming on the 7G transmission. See part 4 for the remainder of the procedure, filling the transmission with fluid.

Mercedes-Benz 722.9 transmissions, also known as the 7G tronic, have been in production from model year 2003 to present. This 7 forward speed transmission with 2 reverse gears has been known to have some common problems that require servicing of the internal, valve body and ECU electrics plate. Please be aware that the ECU plate is a theft deterrent part on vehicles fitted with this 7G transmission, and a locksmith license (LSID) will be required when purchasing Theft Relevant Parts (TRP).

When a fault occurs in the ECU electronics plate also known as a conductor plate, fault codes for the Turbine Speed Sensor may be present along with symptoms like; improper shifting, Limp Home Mode all accompanied by a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). For a complete description and list of possible fault codes please refer to our help document or contact support.

  • Error Code 0717 – The signal from component Y3 / 8n1 (turbine speed sensor (VGS)) is unavailable.
  • Error code 0718 – The component Y3 / 8n1 (turbine speed sensor (VGS)) is defective.
  • Error code 2767 – The signal from component Y3 / 8n2 (Internal speed sensor (VGS)) is unavailable.
  • Error code 2768 – The component Y3 / 8n2 (Internal speed sensor (VGS)) is defective.

Attach a suitable vehicle power supply to the vehicle.

Working at the right side of the transmission at the electrical connector, plug in the old part ECU electrics plate.

Then attach a ground strap from the ECU electrics plate to chassis ground.

Next the data is read using your iSCAN.
