Mercedes B Klasse Engine Issue Resolved

My 2015 Mercedes B Klasse gasoline engine vehicle is showing a check engine light, engine overheating, and coolant leakage at 254435 km. Diagnostic scans say there's a control unit communication error. Could a defective cable or plug connection be the cause?

Whoa, sounds rough! I had something similar happen with my B Klasse. The ECU was throwing a fit and the CAN bus was going nuts. Check the data link connector, might be corroded or something. Is the engine fan running constantly?

When you mention ECU trouble, do you recall any specific diagnostic trouble code, and was it related to a software glitch or solely a hardware issue like a faulty connection?

I don't recall the exact code, but it definitely pointed to the control unit. I messed with it for a while, but honestly, I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it out quickly. Saved me a ton of headache and potentially messing things up further.

I appreciate your insight. I followed a similar path and had the connections inspected. Indeed, a faulty plug was identified and repaired. The communication error is resolved, and the system is functioning correctly now. The repair cost was 95€.
