How to use Benz Star Diagnostic Platinum Edition to reset SBC?
When you select the SBC system, it will have an option, SBC RESET. After entering this option, you will see a special function. Enter it, and it will ask for the password. For this password, simply fill in whatever you want, then click the next step, then click OK, and then follow the prompt to proceed.
Proper steps here:
Connect the MB SD C4 multiplexer to the W211 and the laptop.
Start the Star Diagnostic software.
Select the chassis: SBC – Sensotronic Brake Control
Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the SBC brake.
Note
If you have Star Diagnostic software in German, follow the instructions here

This started like most of them …….
Like a request!!
So, it was a combination of a faulty SBC, common sense, A LOT of time, and GUTS to figure this out
Make sure the engine is running!!!
In developer mode, you need to access Entwickelingsdaten -> ansteueringen -> Gesamstliste aller Ansteuerungen
to see how many times the brake has been pressed, there is a line that says: Bremsenzahler (DJ_GetBrLive) or DJ_GetBrLiveTime
then 1 line down, you see Bremsenzahler aktualisieren und Lebensdauerzahler F neu berechenen -> click on it!
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
1 line further Bremsenzahler auf beliebigen Wert setzen (DJ_SetNBr) -> click on it
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
then scroll until you see the line:
Lebensdauerzahler F neu berechenen (DJ_CalcLiveTime)
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
Lebensdauerzahler F neu berechenen und schreiben (DJ_BuildAndWriteF)
Parameter uINBR = 0
then click F3
Log out of SBC!!
disconnect from the vehicle!!
let the engine run for at least 10 minutes or drive for at least 10 minutes
If no coil is damaged, the SBC error code is not current anymore
Note:
(Dj_setNBr) Here you set the new value of the brake counter to 0
(Dj_setNBr) uINBR = 0
Resetting the cut-off counter to zero is, in my opinion, not to bother with…..
every time SBC turns on, it checks itself each time
If there is a problem in the SBC unit with a valve, brushes, or anything else, it will cause an error anyway. that you will NOT be able to clear in Dev mode
If you turn on the ignition of a brand new MB with SBC and press the brake 300,000 times, it will enter this so-called “error,” do you mean SBC is broken then? without driving a millimeter?
No, it’s an indication to have the SBC unit checked by the MB workshop $$
Yes, it is true that MB must replace faulty SBC units for free
since the factory will pay for all the labor and parts there
But most dealers try to charge the customer for this procedure by claiming that the customer’s car does not have a dealer.
