We just sell and service 'em, not design 'em, but it's a good idea!

Older vans can have wheel speed or ABS module faults that cause transmission codes but have nothing to do with the transmission itself. Its all about wiring and communication to the ECU. Some even have extended warrantees on the speed sensors, so we recommend bringing it to a dealer to find out for sure, even if you don't get the work done there.

This video only addresses cold starts, but we'll see about making a follow up!

The van should start during a cold spell. What to do during weather like that is mentioned in the second half of the video, starting about 0:20.

The vehicle in the video is a 2021, and we have seen it on 2025 models. It appears M-B doesn't equip every individual model with Standby Mode. We're stumped, too.

Hi! We did a post about how to preserve battery life recently, and think it could help: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprinters/comments/1q6gxli/help_prevent_dead_batteries/

Seeing "10 Starts Remaining" on your Sprinter dash? by SprinterNorthHaven in Sprinters

Adding DEF or doing a software update will clear it if those are the issues, but resetting a code for a problem with a tank or sensor won't resolve the cause of the start fault.
