Thanks for sticking with it. Your videos on this car have been great! I am learning a lot and the comments seem to have a number of suggestions. Keep up the wonderful work.
Hey man, I just found out about your channel, so far I like what you've been doing. As a mechanic who owns 2 Mercedes ( 2006 E55 AMG and 2010 GLK 350 ) and the STAR diagnosis scanner, I'm kinda impressed by your little scanner. You really shouldn't worry about all the fault codes, even my 2010 has plenty lol. A little comment based on the couple videos I've watched, I found it quite annoying how you seemed to like talking about money you make, money you don't have, money you borrow, money you need to fix things, etc. Seriously, keep your finances out of UA-cam, focus on the cars and repairs, that's what we like!! You've got yourself a subscriber!! I own all the Mercedes related software, if you ever need instructions or whatever about the car, don't hesitate to PM me the VIN and I'll do my best to help you out! Thank you & good luck.
I know of disagree I think it's quite refreshing that he talks about how much he spent on the car. It's like Hoovies garage I think one of the major appeals is the honesty. Obviously, he should only say what he feels comfortable with and if he isn't comfortable saying something he should hold it back. With regards the scanning tool I agree for a Mercedes this is very impressive for 250 bucks. However, as someone else said this might not be able to remove the codes. Also, alot of these codes don't seem that serious you seem to have really lucked out on thus car. When I seen the first video I was gutted for you when I seen the abc fault as you were si excited. But, as it turned out it was only low fluid. This is a great channel I'm glad I found it. Oh and as other's said make sure the spheres are working correctly.
My 20 year old w168 ha many fault codes to, never had a problem with them, okey my seatbealt pretetioners have a problem according to the computer, but its okey.. :)
Pull the fuse for the door lock pump for 5 minutes, then reinstall it. The pump has an internal cutoff if it runs too long. Pulling the fuse resets that. If that does not get the pump running, I suggest pulling it and inspecting it. If you remove the left side trunk cover, it lives in a foam box almost directly above the LR tire.
Randy you need to look at the PSE Pump. it feeds air to the seats, door locks, headrests and soft close, remember to label all the air lines and inspect. its located at the left side of the boot.
Check for rodent damage to the main wire harness where it passes through the firewall and other hidden locations. Usually such electrical issues are attributed to that on many cars that have sat unused.
The engine appears to be missing the driver side engine snorkel. Highly recommend to install a new one because hot air going to the engine will surely make it loose Power.
Neighbor who works on cars says B1867 air bag check as follows. Disconnect battery. Remove left door panel. Look for small black box, air bag. Unplug and check for corrosion in plug. Spray with contact cleaner. Re-attach plug, re-attach battery. Clear code. If it comes back need airbag module. Ebay sells some under $100. Common problem, moisture gets in door.
Hi i have a CL500 and had issues with the central locking, windows and seats. Ended up replacing the wiring in the doors and bought a new seat controller - they were the issues.
Hey I have a 2004 S600 V12 Benz and I replaced the ABC shocks with spring shocks and I'm wondering if you knew how to and where to bypass the ABC system on the power steering pump
If you still have this car pull ABC fuse out of both fuse boxes under hood passenger side the fuse will be in a gray holder driver side you'll have to look it up
The central locking, head rest. Etc trunk is related with the pneumatic pump in the trunk left side have to full the carpet off from left and it’s located there
Hey, for you door locks, trunk, door soft close and headrest not working you should check out the PSE Pump. Since you already checked the fuse and it is good than your PSE pump that handles all these components must be bad, it will located in the trunk on the left side behind panels
Yes that is the correct sensor if you're having a problem where your (EVAP) Fuel Gas Shut Off Valve Vapor... Before you buy one test the sensor what a ohm meter check also for brittle hoses.
Your airbag problem is likely the clock spring. The squib is by definition a small fire cracker. This is the igniter for the airbag. This code sets when there is no, high, or infinite resistance between the 2 ignition wires for the squib circuit. This is a supervised circuit. Typically there is 2 squib circuits per airbag. A primary and secondary so there is a redundant firing mechanism to help guarantee successful airbag deployment. The clock spring is the thing between the steering wheel and the column that allows the wheel to turn while maintaining and electrical connection to the static components. Static components being defined as components that are not supposed to move.
Ahhh, if it's in the seat then it might be unplugged or have some corrosion on the wiring. Those usually suffer a broken wire in the harness though. Not too difficult to repair. If it's in the headliner then probably a broken wire. Check resistance on the airbag packages themselves. If there is a low resistance, say 50 ohms or less the package is fine. Then likely a broken wire or corroded connector.
for the airbag as i said last on the last video its the airbag in the DR door but lucky you once i see a circuit high (high resistance) it is 99% the airbag is faulty but seeing that the SRS flashes its not as you move its As the door moves there is a wire damage near the door hinge. the purge solenoid is what you pointed to get it from a junkyard all Mercedes from that era used the same part. as for the rest of the code most of them are STORED except the HRA which you should ignore. try to clear the codes on ignition on and turn completely of while clearing as stored code should be go already. it they are not i hate to say it but your scanner might not be able to remove them and dont worry about them.
R12/20 is the airbag in the drivers door. Since the light flickers when you move I would check the wiring in the door jam for breaks. Also you can unplug the airbag itself and replace it with a 2 ohm resistor for testing, if the fault clears and stays cleared then you know the airbag itself is faulty. Let me know if you need any diagrams for the system I can send them your way.
The door locks and trunk release (and probably a lot of the other bells and whistles on the car) use vacuum as their power source. The car has a separate vacuum pump normally located on the driver's side of the trunk hidden behind the trim. It is common for these pumps to go out and they are expensive to replace. Hopefully its just a leak in the system.
The thing you thought it’s some thing radars is your parktronic and on a Mercedes you have to hold those buttens for three or four seconds that also goes for the key too .for the trunk
Yes that is he purge valve you pointed at,it fits on many different mercedes so you might be able to get it off a different Benz just look up the part number on it on eBay and see what it would fit on
your p2026 is the Mercedes Benz Purge Valve Solenoid which collect gas tank vapers and burn them in intake. you need to locate the solenoid and check it connection or replace it. im not a mechanic try it i hope it helps
Just bought a CL600 with a bad ABC pump, $348 not bad a pain in the ass it seems to get to the rear bolt, but the alternative would be paying $2600 for a shop. I believe replacing the suspension with an aftermarket coil over system would make the pumps last longer, they seem to go out every 30k miles.
The SRS light was flickering when you where moving the steering wheel. Clock spring or clock spring ribbon cable maybe? Also, for for your hazy headlights, O’Reilly sells an awesome and inexpensive headlight restore called “Wipe New” I highly suggest using that, you’ll be amazed! Awesome job figuring out the ABC system too.
I just want you TO MAKE A PROFIT for the patience and hard work you have put into it. The world can not lives on and on imitation and cheating report that hurts and serious injuries or deaf to innocent people
I wonder if maybe, just maybe, somewhere down the line of that "recommended maintenance" the ABC filters were changed & some fluid lost but then not topped back off? After all, if the genuine fluid costs that much there's a significant bonus for the less scrupulous tech/dealer in billing for a filter change/fluid top up and getting away with leaving the level a bit low. Perhaps the car never even "realised" until it got lifted about with a flat battery upsetting the levelling...
Sorry for any confusion I might have caused with the radar detector when you got this car. I was on the wrong track as I couldn't see anything that looked like a radar detector in the car. That item isn't Mercedes factory fit, as radar detectors are illegal in a number of US states they wouldn't be able to get approval to sell the car in the US if it came, or could be ordered with, a factory fitted radar detector. So someone has had that unit fitted, and probably paid a lot for it as it's a very neat installation that looks pretty much factory and is almost unnoticeable from the outside...
Think I would pop the trunk open and pull the wire connecter to the electric release, put a meter on the wires and see if the readings change when you activate it to release. Best I can do for you on this car. From there you can put an alternate power source to the release and see if it works. Suspect fouled wiring junction in the line moving forward as you follow it.
When you're working under the hood instead of using the stick on each hinge each side there's a little tab to push to hold the hood vertical push the tabs lift the hood straight up and down Mercedes Benz service Hood position
Hey I had the same problem with my S Klasse in Germany. All the things are Air Powered ! you find the air pump in a Black box in the Trunk on the left side. the air pump is very likely dead. BUT ! the question is way ! it is likely you have a Air leak some wear. By the way ! you can NOT by any W220 Air Pump you have to buy one with the same set up for extras as yours or you will not have all the functions. greats from Germany
If the SRS light comes and goes as you move around in the driver's seat then that suggests something with the seat occupancy sensor. Those sensors can fail, but most of the time going under the seat and disconnecting and then reconnecting the wiring loom connectors under the seat will sort the problem out. Of course each driver has the seat set for them and, unless the vehicle has multiple drivers, the seat doesn't move until the car gets sold and a new driver takes it on. With this one having sat for some time apparently, it could be that moving the seat when you bought it has slightly upset the connections. I've seen this a fair few times on older cars with driver's air bags and each time having a fiddle with the loom connectors under the seat has cleared it up. What seems to happen is that as the vehicle is used the connectors accumulate general muck, and having the car detailed can add a bit of corrosion to the muck, so when the seat gets moved for a new driver the connector pins move slightly into a position that causes an intermittent connection due to the muck and potential corrosion but releasing and reconnecting the connections will clear the muck and some of the corrosion and re-establish a good connection...
With the fuse issue I would say replace the fuse anyway, with the fuse box being mounted low down the fuses can corrode so although the fuse looks fine it could be it isn't passing enough current due to corrosion on the spades or on the fuse box terminals...
dude i had the SRS light on my car too. it is really nothing and it will be so cheap to fix as well. it is just the air bag has a silk like cover that goes around the steering wheel and it gets cut every now and then by the movement of the steering just replace the air bag on the steering wheel it is a so easy fix.
The fuse - if you can find out which fuse you were supposed to check, I suggest you trace as best you can the wiring from that fuse to the point where it splits to the multiple devices impacted - like as not there is a break. As for the fx4000, I bought one recently to reset SRS on my volvo C70 but it couldn't communicate with any of th car's modules - not one. I sent it back.
When a circuit has a "too high" resistance, the circuit is damaged or triggered. Mercedes uses fine melting circuit, so when they are triggered, they have to be replaced and u have to search, what was the reason for that to high current that causes the circuit to break. Im a German bachelor of Electrity. Regards
I think the SOS system required a subscription however, based on the year I doubt it is currently available as it was for an original analog, not digital cell phone.
alright as far as the headrest the last video u made showed the switch in the back seat works tge headrest so that means I with hace a wiring issue or u need new switches
The suspension hydraulic fluid will go down if an accumulator sphere goes bad... probably on the front left where it was way too low. Will ride harder than normal w a blown sphere, but no fluid will leak out.
Those bluish head lamp can easily taken care by using 1200 sand grid polishing and finished with 1500 sand grid. check with others youtubes post on brighten up head lamp.
Auto Auction Rebuilds thanks for the motivation man. The CL500 was my dream car back in the day and I can't believe I can actually afford one these days. Keep up the good work with that Merc man.
You need one program its name is star finder, i think i have it somewhere if you want i can look for it. It contains names of those components and their location
Replace all the accumulators "balls" in the suspension. There are 4. 2 unique ones (lr and rf) and two of the same one, rr and lf. Purge valve for ABC? Don't worry about he purge valve. Do a rodeo to reset the suspension, and see what output the tandem pump is pushing out. Fuse isn't blown, thermal protection kicks in and fuse has to be removed and replaced, then the pump will work again.
Since you had damaged wiring due to pack rats...I would check the wiring to your headlamps. They probably chewed through some wires there as well...causing that open circuit code. Pack rats are a problem here in the desert and I've seen first hand how much destruction they can do to electrical components in vehicles.
Bro I had an 03 s500 few years ago with sport package like yours. Best advice is 🏃 RUN fast these cars are cheap now for a reason once things start breaking it never ends. U avoided a huge hit with the suspension that could have been a 5k fix once the suspension breaks completely the car falls on the floor it gets so low u can’t even drive it cuz the wheels rub. That V12 is another disaster just sell it fast. And don’t even think of an 02-07 bmw 7 series that’s even worse
i'm not so familiar with mercedes cars, i'm a bimmer, and the last code related to A/C is linked to the AAC sensor you repaired, basically it's an automatic control of the air circulation inside the car, regarding the level of CO2 outside (that's why it's under the hood) i had the same issue with my E60 For the blowing seats at the rear, i had the same issue on my e87, it was an air distributor leak (cracked gaskets), some silicone did the trick, if somehow the whole system is a closed circuit that might me be solution, (if the motor has not fried in the process tho). For the headlight, take it out and check the wiring (maybe pinched ?) or eaten by the rats ? water damage ? Good luck ! Nice car BTW
sasuke1018 this kind of scanner will give you ECU codes related to a check engine but it won't go in depth and scan all the other modules like the Ancel used in the video. I agree though it is definitely enough for a begginer. I'd even suggest a 20$ wifi OBD2 dongle with a cellphone app such as Torque.
*Pair of hood struts and blow out the acorns and you're good now. Squib is an explosive they use in movies, that code may mean bthat it detected that your airbag module has a short in it and wouldn't fire in an accident. that's my guess. These European cars are a complete guessing game for me.(didn't want to say they were completely foreign to me, my pun game is stronger than that) did you not wash the engine with the car running?if all of those headrests and trunk lock and such are all connected and not working i would start checking the relays*
Looks good. Id change both headlights. Might even go to 2006 the year they are clear. Not a fan of the non trans lights look dated That way they are both even. Its hard to change 1 headlight
Looks like my gut feeling was right after all! The [STORED] means that the error occured in the past but is not present at the moment. It would say [CURRENT].

Thanks for sticking with it. Your videos on this car have been great! I am learning a lot and the comments seem to have a number of suggestions. Keep up the wonderful work.
Your quirks are things that need to be fixed and Doug's quirks are unusual designs. Love it.
LOL
You like Chris fix know a lot about cars and brings us great content. Thanks man!
Hey man, I just found out about your channel, so far I like what you've been doing.
As a mechanic who owns 2 Mercedes ( 2006 E55 AMG and 2010 GLK 350 ) and the STAR diagnosis scanner, I'm kinda impressed by your little scanner. You really shouldn't worry about all the fault codes, even my 2010 has plenty lol.
A little comment based on the couple videos I've watched, I found it quite annoying how you seemed to like talking about money you make, money you don't have, money you borrow, money you need to fix things, etc. Seriously, keep your finances out of UA-cam, focus on the cars and repairs, that's what we like!!
You've got yourself a subscriber!!
I own all the Mercedes related software, if you ever need instructions or whatever about the car, don't hesitate to PM me the VIN and I'll do my best to help you out!
Thank you & good luck.
Thank you so much. My email is a1title42@gmail.com
Would be cool to find something for my Benz :) any chance to share email buddy?
I know of disagree I think it's quite refreshing that he talks about how much he spent on the car. It's like Hoovies garage I think one of the major appeals is the honesty. Obviously, he should only say what he feels comfortable with and if he isn't comfortable saying something he should hold it back. With regards the scanning tool I agree for a Mercedes this is very impressive for 250 bucks. However, as someone else said this might not be able to remove the codes.

Pull the fuse for the door lock pump for 5 minutes, then reinstall it. The pump has an internal cutoff if it runs too long. Pulling the fuse resets that. If that does not get the pump running, I suggest pulling it and inspecting it. If you remove the left side trunk cover, it lives in a foam box almost directly above the LR tire.
The code for the headlight is for a motor that moves the headlight up when going up hills to keep them level
Ahh!! Thank you.
Randy you need to look at the PSE Pump. it feeds air to the seats, door locks, headrests and soft close, remember to label all the air lines and inspect. its located at the left side of the boot.
Check for rodent damage to the main wire harness where it passes through the firewall and other hidden locations. Usually such electrical issues are attributed to that on many cars that have sat unused.
I agree, those open circuits and high resistance faults may just be broken wires.
The engine appears to be missing the driver side engine snorkel. Highly recommend to install a new one because hot air going to the engine will surely make it loose Power.
Already ordered one :)
Neighbor who works on cars says B1867 air bag check as follows. Disconnect battery. Remove left door panel. Look for small black box, air bag. Unplug and check for corrosion in plug.

Awesome!! Thank you so much!!
I had a fuse that tested and looked good but I replaced with a new one and it worked. Worth a try.. good luck
wsgriffi I was about to say the same thing, always worth to try
Yup! Same here.. fuse looked good but I replaced anyways and it worked.. I would give it a shot as well
i hat to , or look for corosion
I've seen it myself as well. Good point!
The guy from Legitstreetcars might be able to help. He was a benz technician
Hi i have a CL500 and had issues with the central locking, windows and seats. Ended up replacing the wiring in the doors and bought a new seat controller - they were the issues.
It’s “Felix” from reck it Ralph. “I can fix it” keep up the great work
You need to replace the door lock module in the trunk on the drivers side. itll fix soft close doors, locks etc...
That is tomorrow's video! Don't spoil it LOL.
Hey I have a 2004 S600 V12 Benz and I replaced the ABC shocks with spring shocks and I'm wondering if you knew how to and where to bypass the ABC system on the power steering pump

The central locking, head rest. Etc trunk is related with the pneumatic pump in the trunk left side have to full the carpet off from left and it’s located there
Usually airbag light up, is the safety belt fuse ( blowed ) or check driver seat below control box. Please check and you just check.
You got a good deal on that S600. It is worth investing a few dollars to fix the minor issues that the car has.
Hey, for you door locks, trunk, door soft close and headrest not working you should check out the PSE Pump. Since you already checked the fuse and it is good than your PSE pump that handles all these components must be bad, it will located in the trunk on the left side behind panels
good to see you have revived this beast
Yes that is the correct sensor if you're having a problem where your (EVAP) Fuel Gas Shut Off Valve Vapor... Before you buy one test the sensor what a ohm meter check also for brittle hoses.

Thanks for the info. This code is actually for the side airbag.
Ahhh, if it's in the seat then it might be unplugged or have some corrosion on the wiring. Those usually suffer a broken wire in the harness though. Not too difficult to repair. If it's in the headliner then probably a broken wire. Check resistance on the airbag packages themselves. If there is a low resistance, say 50 ohms or less the package is fine. Then likely a broken wire or corroded connector.
Test the fuses out of their holders with a DMM and also check for micro fractures that only show up when the fuse gets warm.
Good point!
for the airbag as i said last on the last video its the airbag in the DR door but lucky you once i see a circuit high (high resistance) it is 99% the airbag is faulty but seeing that the SRS flashes its not as you move its As the door moves there is a wire damage near the door hinge. the purge solenoid is what you pointed to get it from a junkyard all Mercedes from that era used the same part. as for the rest of the code most of them are STORED except the HRA which you should ignore. try to clear the codes on ignition on and turn completely of while clearing as stored code should be go already. it they are not i hate to say it but your scanner might not be able to remove them and dont worry about them.
Glad the abc is fixed, wish I knew more about these cars!
Is it fixed? Adding fluid is not a permanent fix. Where did the fluid go? It didn't evaporate.
Can't wait to see the finished product, way to go Randy! Keep up the good work
Awesome that the abc system is working. Glad it was all it was.
For now anyway lol.
R12/20 is the airbag in the drivers door. Since the light flickers when you move I would check the wiring in the door jam for breaks. Also you can unplug the airbag itself and replace it with a 2 ohm resistor for testing, if the fault clears and stays cleared then you know the airbag itself is faulty. Let me know if you need any diagrams for the system I can send them your way.
Thank you a million. Can you email me at a1title42@gmail.com?
Is there a lock-out button for the trunk, in the glove box?
As for your radio working there is a fuse on the amp next to the CD changer in the trunk under the cover replace it and you should be good.
The door locks and trunk release (and probably a lot of the other bells and whistles on the car) use vacuum as their power source. The car has a separate vacuum pump normally located on the driver's side of the trunk hidden behind the trim. It is common for these pumps to go out and they are expensive to replace.

Scott Pardee Proper way to do it is to sand and polish then put UV protection on them like they had from factory.
MrCarGuy20 I had done my wife’s 2 years ago and they still look brand new. To each Their own I guess.
I just want you TO MAKE A PROFIT for the patience and hard work you have put into it. The world can not lives on and on imitation and cheating report that hurts and serious injuries or deaf to innocent people
For the airbag code its a corroded connector for the charge that sets it off

radar is for collision detection warning and distance control....how illigit can that be?
does the car have suspension spheres? they full up with fluid when the go bad. a bet thats where the fluid wen't
kenneth croll I agree with you, I just replaced the spheres in my CL55, overhauled the valve blocks and flushed the system. Now she runs like a champ.
Yup, that's where the fluid went. They suck to change, and they're expensive. Try www.pelicanparts.com Pay attention, ABC cars use different ones.
Think I would pop the trunk open and pull the wire connecter to the electric release, put a meter on the wires and see if the readings change when you activate it to release.

As for the fx4000, I bought one recently to reset SRS on my volvo C70 but it couldn't communicate with any of th car's modules - not one. I sent it back.
Dang I'm sorry to hear that. This thing has worked with all of my cars once I learned how to use the thing. It's not the easiest.
When a circuit has a "too high" resistance, the circuit is damaged or triggered. Mercedes uses fine melting circuit, so when they are triggered, they have to be replaced and u have to search, what was the reason for that to high current that causes the circuit to break. Im a German bachelor of Electrity. Regards
i am thinking it's an ABC Hydraulic Ball issue. when they go bad it makes the system show low on fluid.
I think the SOS system required a subscription however, based on the year I doubt it is currently available as it was for an original analog, not digital cell phone.
True. MB no longer works with this old cellular technology. Nobody does as far as I know.
alright as far as the headrest the last video u made showed the switch in the back seat works tge headrest so that means I with hace a wiring issue or u need new switches
Check your door lock actuators and wires and check your trunk lock actuator and if its falty
The suspension hydraulic fluid will go down if an accumulator sphere goes bad... probably on the front left where it was way too low. Will ride harder than normal w a blown sphere, but no fluid will leak out.
That is the purge valve check the rubber hoses they can be brittle around it
Thanks!
Your hard work is appreciated !!
Those bluish head lamp can easily taken care by using 1200 sand grid polishing and finished with 1500 sand grid. check with others youtubes post on brighten up head lamp.
Randy that bloody ABC is what keeps me away from buying a decent CL500 for about £2500 here in the UK.
It's all doable yourself man. Just dive in! Used or rebuilt parts are cheap.
Auto Auction Rebuilds thanks for the motivation man. The CL500 was my dream car back in the day and I can't believe I can actually afford one these days. Keep up the good work with that Merc man.
That is a fact!! So many parts EVERYWHERE!!
Um, it's pretty cheap. I replaced the accumulators for $250 and I use $2.69/quart snowplow fluid. Filter was $40.
I paid $5K for one with 53K.
Hi and thanks for the great mercedes videos check this first about the srs light/srs light seat occupancy sensor/you can buy some bypass modul as well
SRS light might just be the sensor plate. Check under the seat.
Sounds like a short in the wire for the airbag.
Ordered a good one today.
You need one program its name is star finder, i think i have it somewhere if you want i can look for it. It contains names of those components and their location
Try to clear coat or change the head light glass . It will be a game changer in look department.
Have you thought about getting on the computer & going on line & doing a little research on that Mercedes & finding out about those codes ?
alarm siren behind the front driver side wing plug and play staff easy change
Large resistance usually means open circuit/blown fuse.
I'm trying to find a way to clear the fault codes since I've got rid of that stupid airmatic system
You can counter telly those report with the Mercedes service agent and compare with those report you gets from Copart.
Replace all the accumulators "balls" in the suspension. There are 4. 2 unique ones (lr and rf) and two of the same one, rr and lf. Purge valve for ABC? Don't worry about he purge valve. Do a rodeo to reset the suspension, and see what output the tandem pump is pushing out. Fuse isn't blown, thermal protection kicks in and fuse has to be removed and replaced, then the pump will work again.
Did the fork lift loader do any damage to the underside when they had brought it to you on your other vlog?...just curious..?
I just realized now that you most definitely remind me of a shoenice that fell in love with cars instead of pounding bottles lmao
Since you had damaged wiring due to pack rats...I would check the wiring to your headlamps. They probably chewed through some wires there as well...causing that open circuit code. Pack rats are a problem here in the desert and I've seen first hand how much destruction they can do to electrical components in vehicles.
Bro I had an 03 s500 few years ago with sport package like yours. Best advice is 🏃 RUN fast these cars are cheap now for a reason once things start breaking it never ends. U avoided a huge hit with the suspension that could have been a 5k fix once the suspension breaks completely the car falls on the floor it gets so low u can’t even drive it cuz the wheels rub. That V12 is another disaster just sell it fast. And don’t even think of an 02-07 bmw 7 series that’s even worse
ive been seeing temps on your dash of like 111 F or 138 F. is it really that hot where you live? or just a glitch?
i'm not so familiar with mercedes cars, i'm a bimmer, and the last code related to A/C is linked to the AAC sensor you repaired, basically it's an automatic control of the air circulation inside the car, regarding the level of CO2 outside (that's why it's under the hood) i had the same issue with my E60
For the blowing seats at the rear, i had the same issue on my e87, it was an air distributor leak (cracked gaskets), some silicone did the trick, if somehow the whole system is a closed circuit that might me be solution, (if the motor has not fried in the process tho).
For the headlight, take it out and check the wiring (maybe pinched ?) or eaten by the rats ? water damage ?
Good luck ! Nice car BTW
Wait what happened to the 1 on V12 on the engine?
Why didn't you try to buy some headlight cleaner at o Relly's, the car does look great, can you buff it out too
Yes that looks like the purge valve to me
I HAVE A CL 600 2002 SAME AS YOURS. AND HAVE WORKED ON THIS SYSTEM. ITS VERY COMPLCATED
My Tele-Aid draining the battery. That destroys the battery. Take to shop to get reset. Deleting might be a pipedream.
I love this v12 benz stuff, i have an 08 s600, i love it
Check the glove box for an on off switch for the trunk
yes that is the purge valve
If it anything like the ‘E’ series the door locks trunk and head rests are Pneumatic controlled by vacuum. Google MY to research... good luck
Do your ancel machine works on all cars I am a beginner? Thanks
Pretty much, yes.
Lol thanks I just got too the end of the video and u said everything about about the ancel thanks
sasuke1018 this kind of scanner will give you ECU codes related to a check engine but it won't go in depth and scan all the other modules like the Ancel used in the video.
I agree though it is definitely enough for a begginer. I'd even suggest a 20$ wifi OBD2 dongle with a cellphone app such as Torque.
*Pair of hood struts and blow out the acorns and you're good now. Squib is an explosive they use in movies, that code may mean bthat it detected that your airbag module has a short in it and wouldn't fire in an accident. that's my guess. These European cars are a complete guessing game for me.(didn't want to say they were completely foreign to me, my pun game is stronger than that) did you not wash the engine with the car running?if all of those headrests and trunk lock and such are all connected and not working i would start checking the relays*
Ordered the hood and trunk struts, the purge valve, the side air bag.
oh you were able to determine that it was a bad side airbag? sounds like you're well on your way man. good deal.
Looks good. Id change both headlights. Might even go to 2006 the year they are clear. Not a fan of the non trans lights look dated That way they are both even. Its hard to change 1 headlight
Ohh that lock unlock is a electric motor I had to replace on my cl and it cost me $1200 to replace at the dealer
I had the 2001 s500, and it gave so many issues that i had to sell it, wanted to keep it but it was way to expensive.
Hi I like your video I'm sorry that I came late but I was doing some stuff but keep up the good work man.
Thank you.
12.99 a quart.... 30 per liter? Isnt that about the same? 26$ compared to a oem brand 30$? Or am i looking at this wrong?
If you go to the W220 facebook group, you will find everything you need for that sweet S600!
AAC sensor is also known as sun sensor.
Looks like my gut feeling was right after all! The [STORED] means that the error occured in the past but is not present at the moment. It would say [CURRENT].
Ahhhh gotcha!! Thanks for pointing that out for me.
You're welcome, Randy. 😀
i wonder if this could help it could be to do with the telephone not connected Central Control Module: All Technical Service Bulletins
