Mercedes SBC System Service Tool

This tool allows technicians to enable, disable, and clear fault codes on Sensortronic Brake Control (SBC) systems on E and SL Class Mercedes vehicles from the 2003 model year onwards.

Features:

The Mercedes SBC system incorporates various systems which have previously been separate, such as the ABS, ASR, BAS, ESP and ETS.
The SBC system can be "woken up" by opening a door, operating the central locking system, pressing the brake pedal, turning on the ignition, or operating the park brake. When this occurs, the system runs pre-checks which include a pressurization of the braking system.
If the brakes are either being worked on or are dismantled when these prechecks occur, it can lead to personal injury or damage to parts of the caliper and pad assembly.
The SBC tool allows the technician to disable the system during service and repair work, allowing a safer working environment.
With the SBC Tool, the Sensortronic System can be deactivated, allowing the brake pads to be removed safely for service. This also provides assistance in fitting new brake calipers and disks, as well as replacing wheel hubs, because the system is safely disabled.
When work is complete, the technician uses the SBC tool to reactivate the Sensortronic System. Then, the technician can complete a "clear codes" operation (after reactivation) in case any codes have been stored during service.
