Replacing the electronic steering lock ESL/ELV with the "DAS Manager"

Mercedes Interface Classic Keys / Immo Advanced ⏱ varies 10 steps

The Electronic Steering Lock is probably the trickiest module to deal with among Mercedes-Benz control units. Replacing it means virginizing both the ESL/ELV and the EZS, personalizing the EZS with the Abrites data, personalizing the ESL and programming a key.

Required licences

Hardware / cables

  • AVDI
  • PROTAG
⚠ WarningTo carry out this adaptation the EZS must be taken to virgin state as well: if you personalize the EZS with the Abrites default data all previous keys are lost and new keys have to be programmed. Virginizing requires an internet connection.

Procedure

  1. Start by reading the ESL/ELV in the "DAS Manager".
  2. Virginize the ESL/ELV: this part requires an internet connection.
  3. Wait for the ESL/ELV virginizing complete message.
  4. Read the EZS/EIS.
  5. Virginize the EZS/EIS.
  6. Personalize the EZS with the Abrites data.
  7. Read the ESL before personalizing it.
  8. Personalize the ESL/ELV.
  9. Program a key with the PROTAG programmer, following the key programming procedure in the "DAS Manager".
  10. With the key programmed, activate the ELV by turning the key to the "ON" position.
