Reason for change
Remedy edit for clarity
Reason for block
Complaint:
FC 2783 (Friction power of torque converter lockup clutch is too high) or FC 0741 (Actuation of torque converter
lockup clutch not possible) stored in transmission control unit. One possible additional customer complaint could be
"poor acceleration" e.g. due to engine intervention.
This can affect all NAT2FE+ (7G-TRONIC PLUS) vehicles as of production month 04/2011. The two fault codes can
also occur in combination with rpm sensor faults (see also LI27.50-P-049710). The rpm sensor fault is not connected
with this complaint.
Cause:
Cause for TRANSMISSION 722.9 from ID 03.318.709 to ID 03.979.899 or from ID 07.019.944 to ID 07.247.699
The cause of this may be a rough microsurface of the journal at the transmission end.
Cause for TRANSMISSION 722.9 with ID higher than 03.979.899 or 07.247.699
Possible small internal leakage at sealing ring between transmission input shaft and torque converter lockup clutch.

Remedy:
Remedy for Vehicles with M271 with TRANSMISSION 722.9 from ID 03.318.709 to ID 03.979.899 or from ID
07.019.944 to ID 07.247.699 and transmission software (see attachment):
If the installed transmission software is one of the versions listed in the attachment ("M271 - NAG2FE+
Getriebesoftware_transmission software"), an update of the transmission software must be performed. Erase the fault
codes in the VGS and reset the lifecycle data of the torque converter (see below for instructions).
If none of the transmission software versions in the list is installed, proceed as described under "Remedy for Vehicles
without M271".
Remedy for Vehicles without M271:
Disassemble the transmission and the torque converter and then sand the transmission input shaft with a 15 µm microfinishing film as described in the attached instructions (use the finishing film/strip once only). The finishing film/polishing strip can be ordered as a consumable from the GLC.
Replace the torque converter (please order as per EPC). Observe the following when replacing the torque converter
(the flex plate must be installed):
1.) Clean torque converter mount in crankshaft using brake cleaner.
2.) Remove fretting rust from torque converter mount in crankshaft using suitable emery cloth (grain size: 120).

3.) Again clean torque converter mount in crankshaft using brake cleaner (compressed air if necessary).
4.) Grease mounting pin of torque converter with multi-purpose paste A 000 989 80 51 10 before installation.
After replacing the torque converter for any reason, the lifecycle data of the torque converter must be reset as follows:
Access via XENTRY: VGS - Fully integrated transmission control (Y3/8n4) -> Teach-in processes -> Reset of adaptation values -> Torque converter -> Confirm torque converter replacement with Yes -> Confirm reset of adaptation data
with Yes
Access via DAS: Electronic transmission control (722.9 7G-TRONIC) -> Transmission adaptation -> Reset of adaptation data (torque converter lockup clutch) -> Confirm torque converter replacement with Yes -> Confirm reset of adaptation data with Yes
