Hello everyone. I hope you're doing well.
I am new to the forum and the smart fortwo ed ownership. I hope you dont mind if i ask you a couple of questions.
I recently bought a smart fortwo ed 2015 with dysfunctional battery with an other battery bought at the junk yard. My mechanic successfully installed the battery. Now i have an error code.
HV SYSTEM-> WORKSHOP.
I would like to know if anyone have been able to find a solution to their smart ED battery.
Any information would help.
Please let me know if you can point me in some direction. Thanks
Best regards.

Ibrahim, you need someone with a MB Xentry diagnostic tool scan and fault trace the codes that you are getting. May require them to recode the instrument cluster etc.
