Part numbers

No fixed list for this unit — coverage is confirmed from the number on your module’s label.

FBS4 ESL units are married to the EIS — part number alone is not enough, so send chassis and symptoms too.

Common faults

  • B225409 — ESL motor circuit malfunction
  • B225464 — ESL communication fault
  • Water ingress on Sprinter W906/W907 — corroded PCB and connector pins
  • Intermittent starting that worsens in cold weather

Repairable?

// Bench verdict

Yes — repair from £200 with a 12-month warranty. Because FBS4 marries the ESL to the EIS and the car, a second-hand swap will not work: we repair your original, or virgin-program a replacement under our full original FBS4 licence — no dealer involvement.
