Sorry the high voltage was 16.8 not 18.8 volts in my previous message

 

the voltage regulator inside the alternator already controls the voltage.

the OVP relay only cuts off the excess surge or high current load.

 

Sorry, it was the regulator that I replaced that fixed the problem. I had over voltage on my mind when I first posted, that is why I called the regulaor an OVP.

 

very nice information paulsnop.
this will go to the FAQ in the future... highly recommended.

 

Have you been successful in finding a way to disable thr ASR ?? We own two 1992 600 SEL's and would love to shut them off.

 

No. I'm sorry to say that I haven't.

I had my tires rotated recently. Whenever I turned the ASR off, the car would go into limp mode after about five miles or so. I had to keep it turned on. After a while (I don't know how long) it started working normal again. I don't know what the tire guys did to cause that.

 

I had new brake pads installed and the ASR always goes into limp mode when the car(600SEL) is first started. Restart thr car and the ASR remains off for the rest of the day. I agree with Lugnut that the ASR is an outmoded contraption and REAL DRIVERS DONT NEED the ASR.

 

Please read carefully!!!
There is a micro switch under the gas/aceleration pedal.
Activate the switch! Keep it 'on' 'pushed' and you will never see the ASR light 'on'again. The traction control will still work though.
For those who will not find the switch will post photo tomorrow
Glad I could help!!

 

Sorry, but that's absolutely no help at all. The ASR light isn't the concern. You need to read more carefully.

Is this micro switch defeat the "secret" you were claiming to have earlier? Criminny.

 

I was refering/replying to the title'94 sl 600 ASR light/"limp" mode'...sorry for not readin' the story...
I am givin' my opinion ...no need to be so offencive.
