Mercedes P051300 DTC EEPROM / DFLASH File Repair for FBS3 & FBS4 7G-DCT Transmissions, Plug & Play Mercedes P051300 – Start Enable Not Issued can occur when the FDCT transmission's stored drive-authorization data becomes corrupted, commonly after low battery voltage or power loss. ARMHEX provides a specialized Mercedes FDCT transmission EEPROM/DFLASH file repair service for supported FBS3 and FBS4 7G-DCT applications. Instead of replacing the complete transmission control module, technicians can read the original transmission data, send the file to us for repair, and write the repaired data back to the same unit. We support w176, w177 A-class, w117, w118 CLA-class, w156, w157 GLA-class, and w246, w247 B-class vehicles.
Repair Mercedes FDCT Transmission P051300 File – Fix "Start Enable Not Issued"
DTC P051300 – The start enable was not issued is associated with the Mercedes drive authorization system. On affected FDCT transmissions, low battery voltage or power interruption can corrupt data stored in the transmission module memory. When the required drive-authorization information is no longer valid, the vehicle may fail to receive start authorization. Common technician/customer complaints include:
P051300 DTC: Start Enable Not Issued
Start authorization missing, FBS3/FBS4 authorization problem, FDCT drive authorization fault
Transmission/gearbox issue following battery voltage loss, weak, or discharged battery
The repair is performed using the original binary data read from the FDCT transmission module. We process the file to repair the affected FBS3/FBS4 drive-authorization data associated with P051300, then return the repaired file for writing back to the original transmission module.
After writing the repaired data, turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds, then restart the vehicle. The transmission should return to normal operation, restoring engine start authorization and proper gear shifting.
Start Enable Not Issued and FBS3/FBS4 Authorization Problem
Drive Authorization Data Restored and File Ready to Write Back
After processing, you receive a repaired binary file prepared for writing back to the original FDCT transmission module. The service is designed to address:
This file repair is intended for supported Mercedes 7G-DCT FDCT transmissions using FBS3 or FBS4 drive authorization.

P051300 indicates “The start enable was not issued.” On affected FDCT applications, the problem can be associated with corrupted transmission drive-authorization data.
Low battery voltage or a significant power interruption is one known situation associated with corruption of the stored FDCT data and subsequent drive-authorization problems.
Not necessarily. If the problem is caused by repairable EEPROM/DFLASH drive authorization data, the original transmission module may be recoverable without replacing the complete transmission.
No. This service repairs the binary EEPROM/DFLASH data. It does not repair mechanical clutch, hydraulic, bearing, or internal transmission damage.
Yes, supported FBS3 7G-DCT applications can be processed.
Yes, supported FBS4 7G-DCT applications can also be processed.
No. This particular repair solution is for supported 7G-DCT applications and does not support 8G-DCT.
You need the original FDCT EEPROM/DFLASH binary data, typically around 128 KB for the applications covered by this service.
Yes. A FLEX read may appear as int_eeprom.bin.
No. Read and securely save the untouched original transmission data first. Previous coding or repair attempts can modify information needed for this repair.
Successful repair cannot be guaranteed if the relevant original data has already been changed. The best candidate is an untouched original read from the transmission before other repair attempts.
