Hello everyone!Please help me recalculate my original factory EEPROM file for a Mercedes W210 EGS52 TCU. The car is a W210 sedan, and I have installed a new rear axle with a 2.87 gear ratio.I tried to modify the AA 22 variant coding string manually in a HEX editor, but the TCU goes into a hard limp mode (stuck in 2nd gear) when the car starts moving. It seems there is a global checksum or offset mismatch.I have attached my clean, untouched, original factory EEPROM file (.bin) read via K-Tag on the bench. Could someone please modify this original file correctly for a 2.87 axle ratio and recalculate all necessary checksums so the gearbox works without limp mode?Thank you very much in advance!

What we see...
for changing it ro 2.87 , its changed in bytes (in red - ratio, near is for 2.87) , (blue - checksum , as can calc , its definately CRC-16-IBM , Reversed 0xA001)

So, you can just try full this string (BACKUP YOURS!!!) , or just simply modify yours . Read your long coding , find exactly same place bytes , change to "360B" , copy ALL string EXCEPT LAST 2 Byres (its checksum itself) . then re-calc it by CRC-16-IBM Reversed, past it to last 4 digits. You will get all your configs only ratio change .
Welcome.
