Thumbs down I checked the Merc Book...

1996 is a MEFI 2 case with MEFI 1 software..
1999 is a MEFI 3 case..

The pins are in different locations...
So I am saying NO...

First: The cases are different...
Second: Pin placement are the same on 1 and 2 but different on 3...

MEFI 1 has 9 fault codes
MEFI 2 has 16 fault codes
MEFI 3 has 23 fault codes

MEFI 1 is 1993 GM software
MEFI 2 is 1996 GM software Merc didn't use till 1997
MEFI 3 is 1999 GM software...

Pros and Cons: All three systems work on speed density. The more fault codes the easier to diagnose a problem.


Any other questions..
