Hi,
2 Yes. Any good OBD scanner tool should be able to reset your CEL (Check Engine Light). However it may come back on straight away if certain faults exist. You seem to have a scanner since you refer to a code later.
3 You can fit a different head unit and it will interface with the rest of the system. remove the existing unit and you will see the types of connection you require. the MB unit is a good one so it may be better to get it unlocked. All you need is the serial number of the head unit and a MB garage, or other places on the internet will for a fee, unlock it by providing the required code.
4. You do not need STAR. P0140 is a secondary Air Injection Fault. does the air injection pump and valve work?
Once again a good scanner should be able to pick up the datastream from your diagnostics plug and display it as a real time graph etc. This will show whether the O2 sensors are working correctly. Max/Min volts and cycle speed. I use a DynoScan (from Auterra) on my Palm PDA but there are many available for PC's etc.
5. Unfortunately I not familiar with the 38 pin plug but the more recent trapezoidal shaped one. The info will be on the net somewhere. Its just a matter of finding which pins are the ones you need.
Hope this helps.
Stuart

When the EC light is ON (Economy) the A/C is turned OFF.
So it appears that when you press the switch you can't get the light to go off. Correct?

Have you checked the fuses?
Have you tried bridging the switch?

ec light on ac board is still ON
the compressor won't work whenever this light is on.

it's either it detects low refrigirant pressure, erratic evaporator temperature sensor reading, or faulty refrigirant temperature sensor.

it must be deleted using star diagnosis or hht.
