Mercedes Injector Coding
Injector calibration and ECU mapping
What Is Mercedes Injector Coding?
Mercedes injector coding is introducing the calibration/IQA-like values printed on an injector to the engine brain. The goal is for the ECU to know the exact characteristic so each cylinder gets the correct fuel amount.
On many common-rail diesels (and some direct-injection gasoline engines) it is recommended or required after an injector replacement. Skipping it can increase the risk of rough idle or cylinder imbalance.
This is different from general option coding; mercedes-adaptation may be needed afterward.
Entering the wrong code can be harmful. Use the VIN-appropriate menu with mercedes-xentry or a supported diagnostic tool.
Typical Workflow
Menu names may vary by version
Read the Code
Read the calibration code on the injector body accurately.
Write to the ECU
Write to the relevant cylinder channel; check the fault memories.
Adaptation
Learning steps if needed (mercedes-adaptation).
Verification
Idle check and road test.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it required on every engine?
It depends on the engine family and injector type; rely on the service information.
Which tool is needed?
Xentry+SD Connect or an aftermarket tool that supports injector coding.

Injector Coding — Workshop Notes
Check the calibration code character by character. A single-character error can cause cylinder imbalance.
The learning/adaptation steps after coding vary by engine family; do not skip them.
On common-rail systems, fuel quality and pressure can also be the source of complaints; do not focus on the code alone.
