How do you reset your C 280 transmission that has gone into the limp home mode?

1. Turn off the engine and wait for it to cool down. This is important to prevent damage to the transmission.

2. Locate the transmission control module (TCM). The TCM is usually located under the hood, near the transmission.

3. Disconnect the TCM's electrical connector. This will reset the TCM and clear any stored trouble codes.

4. Wait 10 seconds and then reconnect the TCM's electrical connector.

5. Start the engine and shift the transmission into gear. The transmission should now be out of limp home mode.

If the transmission is still in limp home mode, there may be a more serious problem that needs to be addressed. In this case, you should take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.

Here are some additional tips for resetting your C 280 transmission:

* If the transmission is in limp home mode due to a low fluid level, add fluid to the transmission and then reset the TCM.

* If the transmission is in limp home mode due to a faulty sensor, replace the sensor and then reset the TCM.

* If the transmission is in limp home mode due to a mechanical problem, have the transmission repaired and then reset the TCM.

By following these steps, you can reset your C 280 transmission and get your vehicle back on the road.
