2005 Mercedes ML 270 CDI Not Starting: P1617 EEPROM Error - No Harmonisation Version Number

Model: 2005 mercedes ml 270 cdi Fault Code: P1617 Posted: 2018-06-21 05:19

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble starting my 2005 Mercedes ML 270 CDI SE. The vehicle won't start, and I've pulled up the fault codes using an AUTEL scanner. The error code displayed is: - P1617: EEPROM or incorrect coded AT has been coded as MT - P1617: EEPROM contains incorrect no harmonisation version number I'm completely stuck because I can't find the equivalent STAR diagnostic codes for this issue. Since I don't have access to a STAR diagnostic tool, any help identifying what this error means and how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated. The car is currently not starting at all, so I need a practical solution as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your support!
