TRANSMISSION 722.6 in MODELS 129, 140, 163, 170, 202, 208, 210 

  Electronic transmission control (ETC), diagnosis, previous knowledge   AD27.19-P-2000A 
  Troubleshooting     
Complaint  Possible cause  Note  Remedy 
Hardness 2 → 1 stationary downshift
  • Transmission adaptation (adapting of ETC)
  AD27.19-P-3000-04A 
  • ETC software dating
AD27.19-P-5006-01A 
  • Freewheel F1
Hardness 3 → 2 stationary downshift (occurs again after new adaptation) Clutch K3 all models with engines 119, 120 to transmission end no. 27083 AD27.19-P-5006-05A 
No or delayed upshift Different tire sizes mounted to the front axle.   Mount standard tire sizes to the front axle.
No upshift 3 → 4 and 4 → 5 at fast-of), only in transmission mode "S" Upshift prevention at dynamic driving style Inform customer  
No upshift into 5th. gear at full throttle or kickdown Upshift 4 → 5 always takes place at full throttle or kickdown just before the engine breakaway speed is reached. Very powerful vehicles under these conditions don't shift into 5th gear until 250 km/h. Inform customer  
No upshift from 1st gear (transmission mode "S") and 2nd gear (transmission mode "W") at n < 5000 RPM -1, cold. Fault cannot always be reproduced Gear recognition switch (S16/10) and/or ETC   Send part for diagnosis to VSE/PB
Engine runs away when shifting from 2 → 3 and/ or has a hard downshift from 3 → 2
