Through constant innovation by automotive brands, today’s vehicles contain an enormous amount of conveniences that are controlled by one or more electrical systems.
At the same time that brands improve, so must the rest of the companies that respond to the possible and common errors that these modern electrical systems usually generate.
Currently we have been able to detect several common errors depending on which brands. Errors that usually appear over time or due to faulty installations, and by fixing them, time and money can be saved.
Mercedes-Benz problems
The most common errors of the German brand are usually related to the EZS and ELV modules of the vehicle.
The EZS is the ignition switch that controls the immobilizer system and the key recognition module, that is, the vehicle security system. The ELV is a steering lock system that is paired with the EZS and which, when we insert the ignition key, sends the unlocking information and if it is correct it allows us to start the vehicle.
Therefore, if you have a Mercedes-Benz and the key does not turn, turns but does not turn on, or turns but gives you errors, it is surely a problem related to these two modules that we have explained.
At Rigau we are specialists in its repair and we will offer you the fastest and most economical solution, since a new module is much more expensive and we can usually fix these errors without problems.
