Mercedes Diagnostic Report

In this scenario, the vehicle arrived with hybrid Mercedes juddering when the electric drive switched to petrol. A road-test confirmed the symptom. A diagnostic scan revealed fault code P06E900 (“Start motor for combustion engine has a malfunction”). Initial serial-data readings returned clear. A visual inspection of the starter motor uncovered arc and burn marks, which is evidence that the starter was causing the fault. Wiring checks confirmed the motor and wiring were the root cause rather than unrelated systems. The starter motor was then scheduled for replacement.

Mercedes Repairs

Repair work involved removing and replacing the starter motor unit in the hybrid Mercedes. After the starter motor replacement, all fault codes were cleared and another road test was conducted. During the test, transitions between electric and petrol drive were repeated and the juddering ceased. The vehicle then underwent final inspection and verification of smooth transitions.

Resolution

After completing the repair, the hybrid Mercedes juddering issue was resolved. The transition from electric to petrol drive became smooth, the judder and bursts of acceleration disappeared, the fault code (P06E900) remained cleared, and the vehicle was returned in full operational condition.
