In this final step in our series on the 7G ECU electrics plate, we will fill the transmission with fluid and test drive the vehicle.

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.

Connect the fluid exchange fitting to the drain / fill plug

Fill with 4 liters of Mercedes-Benz transmission fluid or until fluid begins to overflow past the fill tube.

Remove fluid exchange fitting, fluid should escape at a steady stream.

Reinstall fluid exchange fitting.

Using your iSCAN, monitor transmission fluid temperature. Start engine and allow to idle until transmission temperature reaches 45° c or 113° F.

Or for vehicle with an additional transmission oil cooler 90° C 194° F. This allows the thermostat to open and allow fluid into the cooler. Once temp is achieved, let cool until 45° c or 113° F, then check level.

Remove fluid exchange once temperature is reached. Allow fluid to drain until it escapes at a thin steady stream.

Install and tighten drain plug with new washer to 22 Nm
