Anyone know what a "U1454" code is on a 2014 MB 350. No difference on how the car runs but several conflicting descriptions from a google search include an exhaust leak in the car. Haven't smelled anything but I can't smell for s**t anyway.

TIA

I can ask the guys at work. 350 what? ML? E class?

Variable Cam Timing Over-advanced (Bank 1) The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the VCT position for an over-advanced camshaft timing.
The test fails when the camshaft timing exceeds a maximum calibrated value or remains in an advanced position. Cam timing improperly set No oil flow to the VCT piston chamber Low oil pressure VCT solenoid valve stuck closed Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit) U1454 DTC is a check of the VCT unit.

To check for an open circuit, trace along the length of the transmission control circuit, checking for breaks in the wiring. Repair any broken wiring and make sure all connectors are fully seated and locked.Pay close attention to connectors, looking for corrosion, bent or broken pins, or moisture in the connector. Repair any connector issues even if they are not specifically part of the transmission control circuit as they may serve a function in providing power to the transmission control circuit.

Not as good as VGs into but hope this helps.
