Why does my Mercedes Benz CDI say start error?
A common issue with Mercedes-Benz diesel ( CDI) vehicles is the erroneous synchronisation between the engine control unit and the immobilizer system. This affects primarily the systems EDC15C0 (CDI1) as well as EDC15C6 (CDI2). If this is the case, the instrument cluster will indicate “Start Error” in older models, as well as in commercial vehicles.

Why do I get a start error message on my Mercedes?

Start the car and you should be able to get around 60 psi. When the engine is running and when you turn off the engine the pressure should stay steady. Always perform this test on a cold engine.
