The MN034 Fbs4 Personalization Expert license from Abrites is a powerful tool designed for professionals working with FBS4 modules in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This license enables comprehensive personalization of all virgin FBS4 modules, allowing for seamless module replacement and configuration. It offers the flexibility of reading FBS4 data via OBD or an internal CAN-Bus connection, and performing personalization with or without pre-existing FBS4 data. This functionality makes the MN034 an essential asset for any workshop specializing in modern Mercedes-Benz repair and maintenance. Crucially, the MN032 DAS Manager for FBS4 vehicles license is a prerequisite for utilizing the MN034.
Comprehensive FBS4 Module Coverage
The MN034 license supports a wide array of FBS4 modules found in various Mercedes-Benz models, encompassing both longitudinal and transverse engine configurations. Here’s a breakdown of the supported modules and their functionalities:
Transmission Control Units:
-
VGS4-NAG2 (0 and 500): Read FBS4 data via OBD, eliminating the need for module disassembly. Resetting to a virgin state requires ABPROG or SET088 (MN035 and MN032 licenses are necessary). Personalization can be performed with or without existing FBS4 data using an internal CAN-Bus connection. New, unused units can also be personalized. Config, SCN coding, EROTAN, and EHS data can be read and written via OBD. (DSM is used. Longitudinal engine config)
-
VGS-FDCT/VGS2-FDCT (FBS4): Read and write FBS4 data via OBD or internal CAN-Bus connection. Virgin state reset requires the ABRITES Distribution Box Set (ZN151) and MN032 license. Personalization is supported for both used and new modules via internal CAN-Bus connection. Config, SCN coding, EROTAN, and EHS data are accessible via OBD. (Installed in transverse engine configurations)
-
VGS NAG3 (9G-Tronic): Read FBS4 data via OBD or internal CAN-Bus. Reset to virgin state with the ABRITES Distribution Box Set (ZN151) and MN032 license. Personalize new and used modules via internal CAN-Bus. Read and write Config, SCN coding, EROTAN, and EHS data via OBD. (No DSM used. Longitudinal engine config)
-
GT-DCT – AMG GT/AM Vantage: Read FBS4 data via OBD or internal CAN-Bus. Read and write Config, SCN coding, EROTAN, and EHS data via OBD. (Transaxle config)
-
8 DCT: Read FBS4 data via OBD or internal CAN-Bus. Supports personalization. Read and write Config, SCN coding, EROTAN, and EHS data via OBD. (Transverse engine config A-Class and derivatives)
Engine Control Units:
- All Engine Modules: Read FBS4 data via OBD or internal CAN-Bus (MN032 required). Perform extended or standard personalization with or without previous data for various ECU types including MED17, EDC17, and CRD3. Resetting to virgin state is possible via OBD (MN032 required) for specific ECUs (MED17, EDC17, SID310, CRD3 families). Other ECUs (MED41, MRD1, MRG1, CRR2 up to 2021) require the ABRITES Distribution Box Set (ZN151) and MN032 for virgin state reset.
Hybrid and Electric Vehicle ECUs:
-
Hybrid ECUs (INV20EM01 and derivatives): Read FBS4 data and reset to virgin state via OBD or internal CAN-Bus (MN032 required). Perform extended or standard personalization.
-
Electric ECUs (EM01, EM02): Read FBS4 data and perform extended or standard personalization via OBD or internal CAN-Bus (MN032 required).
Other Modules:
- DSM (all types): Read and write FBS4 data, reset to virgin state, and personalize with or without previous data via internal CAN-Bus connection (MN032 required for reset and personalization). (Installed in VGS4-NAG2 (7G) cars)
Hardware and Software Requirements
The MN034 FBS4 Personalization Expert license requires an active Annual Maintenance Subscription (AMS) to function.
Conclusion
The MN034 license offers comprehensive FBS4 module coverage and advanced functionalities, making it an indispensable tool for specialized workshops dealing with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Its ability to personalize a broad range of modules, coupled with flexible data reading and personalization options, significantly streamlines the diagnostic and repair processes. Remember that the MN032 DAS Manager license is mandatory for utilizing the MN034.
