Possible Causes

Defective integrated kWh meter in Mercedes-Benz wallbox, Communication failure between meter and control board, Calibration error detected by firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before accessing internal meter wiring.

  • Check meter display (if present): Some wallboxes have a visible meter display. Verify if it powers on and shows plausible readings.
  • Inspect communication cable: Inside the wallbox, locate the communication link (e.g., RS-485) between the meter and control board. Ensure connectors are secure.
  • Reset the unit: Power-cycle the wallbox to see if the meter reinitializes correctly.
  • Meter replacement: If the meter remains unresponsive or E17 persists, the integrated meter module may need replacement and recalibration by an authorized technician.
