Mercedes-Benz service codes, including the frequently encountered “AK” code, can initially seem perplexing. AutoExplain.com is here to demystify these codes, providing a comprehensive breakdown of what they mean and how they impact your Mercedes-Benz maintenance schedule. With a clearer understanding of Mercedes service scheduling and maintenance schedule intervals, you’ll be better equipped to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
1. Decoding Mercedes-Benz Assyst Plus Service System
The Mercedes-Benz Assyst Plus system is an advanced service management system designed to inform drivers about required maintenance. It has evolved over time, transitioning from simple A/B service indicators to more complex alphanumeric codes. Let’s dive deeper into understanding this system:
1.1. Evolution of Mercedes-Benz Service Indicators
Initially, Mercedes-Benz vehicles used a straightforward “Assyst” system indicating either an “A” or “B” service was due.
- A Service: Minor service, including engine oil and filter change, and a minor vehicle inspection.
- B Service: Major service, including engine oil and filter change, pollen filter replacement, and a major vehicle inspection.
In addition to these services, there were “Additional Service Items” based on age or mileage, such as air filter replacement, fuel filter replacement, brake fluid change, coolant change, spark plug replacement, and gearbox oil/filter change.
1.2. Introduction of Assyst Plus
The “Assyst Plus” system was introduced to account for time and wear-specific maintenance items, along with any special equipment relevant to maintenance. This system was first seen on models like the 211 E Class, 251 R Class, 164 ML Class, and 169 A Class.
The service indicators expanded to include letters up to “H,” such as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H. However, this caused confusion for many accustomed to the simple A/B servicing.
1.3. Alphanumeric Service Codes
To address the confusion, Mercedes-Benz models from around 2008, such as the 204 C Class and 212 E Class, adopted a system where numbers or letters were added after the “A” or “B,” indicating when “Additional Service Items” were due. This resulted in combinations like A1, B1, A5, B5, A3, AK, AC, and B0.
This alphanumeric system also aligned with the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz Digital Service Book (DSB) around the same time.
1.4. Accessing Workshop Codes
Each service item is numbered, and a “Workshop Code” accompanies the letter and additional number/letter combination. To access the workshop code, you need to enter the workshop menu on the instrument cluster. On most cars with a 12-button steering wheel, this can be achieved by:
- Turning the ignition to position 1.
- Ensuring the overall mileage is displayed.
- Pressing and holding the call answer button.
- While continuing to hold the call answer button, press and hold the OK button.
1.5. Examples of Service Codes
- The service code for an “A” service is “505,” which includes service item 1 (minor inspection) and service item 3 (engine oil and filter change).
- The service code for a “B1” service is “E0E,” which includes service item 2 (major inspection), service item 3 (engine oil and filter change), and service item 4 (brake fluid change).
Based on these examples:
- Service item 1 indicates an “A” service.
- Service item 2 indicates a “B” service.
- Service item 3 (engine oil and filter change) is typically required on every service.
Mercedes Benz Instrument Cluster
1.6. Common Additional Service Items
Here are some of the common additional service items:
- Service 4: Brake fluid change
- Service 5: Combination filter (additional filter on some models)
- Service 8: Air filter replacement (sometimes differential oil, depending on the service sheet)
- Service 10: Sunroof guide rails clean/regrease
- Service 11: Fuel filter replacement
- Service 12: Replace spark plugs
- Service 13: Engine coolant renewal
- Service 14: Main coolant circuit (possibly cooling system for hybrids)
- Service 15: Towing hitch lubrication
- Service 20: Gearbox oil change/filter renewal
- Service 24: Cambelt replacement/water pump replacement
It is crucial to cross-reference these items with the service sheet for your specific vehicle, as there may be important details that you need to be aware of. Service sheets can be found via WIS (Workshop Information System) or platforms like Autodata.

- Diagnostic Scan: Performing a diagnostic scan to check for any stored fault codes in the vehicle’s computer systems.
- Underbody: Inspecting the vehicle’s underbody for signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks.
3.3. Service Item 3: Engine Oil and Filter Change
This is a fundamental maintenance task essential for engine health and longevity. The process involves:
- Draining the Old Oil: Removing the used engine oil from the engine.
- Replacing the Oil Filter: Installing a new, high-quality oil filter to ensure proper filtration of the new oil.
- Refilling with New Oil: Adding the correct type and quantity of new engine oil as specified by Mercedes-Benz.
- Checking for Leaks: Ensuring there are no leaks after the oil change.
- Resetting the Service Indicator: Resetting the service indicator on the dashboard to reflect the completed service.
3.4. Service Item 4: Brake Fluid Change
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to reduced braking performance and corrosion within the brake system. A brake fluid change involves:
- Testing the Brake Fluid: Checking the moisture content of the brake fluid using a test strip or electronic tester.
- Flushing the Old Fluid: Removing the old brake fluid from the brake lines, calipers, and master cylinder.
- Refilling with New Fluid: Adding new, Mercedes-Benz approved brake fluid to the system.
- Bleeding the Brakes: Bleeding the brakes to remove any air bubbles from the system, ensuring optimal braking performance.
3.5. Service Item 5: Combination Filter Replacement
Some Mercedes-Benz models are equipped with a combination filter that combines the functions of a cabin air filter and an activated carbon filter. This filter helps to remove dust, pollen, odors, and pollutants from the air entering the cabin. Replacement involves:
- Locating the Filter: Finding the location of the combination filter, which is typically behind the glove box or under the dashboard.
- Removing the Old Filter: Removing the old, dirty filter from its housing.
- Installing the New Filter: Inserting the new combination filter into the housing, ensuring it is properly aligned.
3.6. Service Item 8: Air Filter Replacement

3.11. Service Item 14: Main Coolant Circuit
This service may involve additional checks and maintenance of the main coolant circuit, especially in hybrid models, ensuring all components are functioning correctly and efficiently. This can include inspecting hoses, connections, and the water pump.
3.12. Service Item 15: Towing Hitch Lubrication
If your Mercedes-Benz is equipped with a towing hitch, it is important to lubricate the moving parts to ensure smooth and reliable operation. This involves:
- Cleaning the Hitch: Cleaning the towing hitch to remove any dirt, debris, or rust.
- Lubricating the Moving Parts: Lubricating the moving parts of the hitch, such as the ball mount and locking mechanism, with a suitable grease.
3.13. Service Item 20: Gearbox Oil Change/Filter Renewal
The gearbox oil (transmission fluid) lubricates the gears and other moving parts in the transmission. Over time, the oil can become contaminated and lose its effectiveness, so it should be changed periodically, along with the filter. Replacement involves:
- Draining the Old Oil: Draining the old transmission fluid from the transmission pan.
- Removing the Transmission Pan: Removing the transmission pan to access the filter.
- Replacing the Filter: Replacing the old transmission filter with a new one.
- Cleaning the Pan: Cleaning the transmission pan and magnet to remove any debris.
- Reinstalling the Pan: Reinstalling the transmission pan with a new gasket.
- Refilling with New Oil: Refilling the transmission with new, Mercedes-Benz approved transmission fluid.
3.14. Service Item 24: Cambelt Replacement/Water Pump Replace
The cambelt (timing belt) synchronizes the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft, ensuring the engine’s valves open and close at the correct time. Over time, the cambelt can wear out and break, leading to serious engine damage. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine to prevent overheating. Replacing the cambelt and water pump involves:
- Removing the Old Belt: Removing the old cambelt and water pump from the engine.
- Inspecting the Components: Inspecting the pulleys, tensioners, and other components for wear or damage.
- Installing the New Belt: Installing the new cambelt and water pump, ensuring they are properly aligned and tensioned.
