Quick diagnosis and repair of Mercedes W221 2006 320cdi airmatic suspension driving over bumps often resulted in the activation of emergency mode in the suspension error 5060 vertical acceleration sensor right side
Thanks for good video. You made it looked so easy. Glad you got the problem fixed. I have the same warning in the panel and the front wheels stay raised up. I believe it is either the compressor or the valve block. But will check the cables first before getting to the compressor and the valve block.
@@gsxr1000k8black For my case, I had to replace the compressor. The compressor's job is to pump air into four air shock and it normally goes out around 100k miles. It is different from the air conditioning compressor. I hope you figure the problem. Good luck to you.
The best is Mercedes Star Diagnosis I use Maxiecu it is comfortable to use but less functional it works well for quick diagnostics you have a link you can check maxiecu.com/en/products/functionality-search/
What is the name of the wire sensor that you replaced. I am having the same issue with my S550. My air suspension is good and the car is maintaining height. I changed both of the plug in units and now I would like to attempt this process that you have done in this video. I just need the identification.
I have the same error on my W220, with an error on the front right level sensor. I bought an acceleration sensor and it did not change anything. Do you think it's a faulty connection or can the fact that the level sensor is faulty make the acceleration sensor faulty? Thank you.
This solder water, I love it, it's great for soldering wires and connectors www.reichelt.com/de/en/soldering-fluid-nr-1-v-50-ml-stannol-1v-50ml-p288981.html
You can name them all. Then you will surely find the right one :) First you need to connect the computer and read the errors only then you will be able to say something more because the possibility is many and the problem does not have to be related to the sensor
I have this same message but it seems like the right front is the only one side that is slightly dropped. I’m hoping it’s just the leveling sensor & not the compressor or some other costly issue. Almost 50k miles on my 08 & been replacing a lot of things lately
@@aidanmarks2114 your timing is crazy, I just got the car today from the shop 😂. It was my right front air strut, it had a leak. New strut and everything is as good as new. You can diagnose yourself if it’s the compressor or just the strut, if you try to raise the vehicle and all other sides except the faulty side raise then you know it isn’t the compressor. A bad compressor won’t have it raise at all. Hopefully yours is a simple fix!
@@issacbrown7485 wow that's crazy man 😂, and I thought it was my front right strut so I bought a replacement lol. Hopefully it's just that, thanks for responding man!
@@aidanmarks2114 bro do you wanna know what’s even crazier??? So the new strut is great But my lower left control arm is going bad now!! I hit a pothole and I thought my wheel was gonna fall off 😂. I took it back to the shop today & they confirmed that’s what it was 🤦♂️. Hopefully this is the last of my problems for a while, I’m broke now 😂😂.
My interior lights are short timing. I have it set to stay on for 30 seconds and they cut off before I even get out of the car sometimes and at night when I unlock the car they shut off almost immediately after they turn on. Now when I had issues with the date remaining once I set it, I did a reset from the Settings and that resolved that but is there a reset for the interior lights or is there a module that needs to be replaced.
Honestly, I have no idea, I have never had a similar problem here, it would be best to connect star diagnosis and check the interior lighting I know that there are problems with the watch in w221 maybe it's a related problem is solved by a software update
I got the airmatic logo and malfunction on the speedometer and the springs became very hard, a colleague read out the error in the acceleration sensor on the front left and deleted it, after that everything was fine 1 month later, the airmatic became hard again but no malfunction display on the speedometer. Should I just replace the acceleration sensor? Please help me
Got a similar issue on a w219 , getting a SRS fault due to frontal acceleration sensor short to earth or short to positive ( 9024 code I think) . The sensor seems to work, if I unplug it I get a Visit workshop message come up, any idea on how I can narrow down the issue?
Yes, I have an idea how you can check it :) Erase the errors and swap the sensors, if the error appears on the other side, the sensors are to blame, if the problem is not in the wires or the plug. if you have a multimeter, you can measure the sensor supply voltage. pin 3+, pin 2-, pin 1 signal from the sensor. The voltage between pin 3 and pin 2 should be 5V
Dude since u had this high milage car i need to ask you what is the cost of ownership for this car ? And how many kms u had it for ? And what parts did u replace ?
That's a difficult question. The maintenance costs of such a car can be low or very high depending on how it is used and serviced. For me, the costs are much lower because I fix almost everything myself, I also have a cheaper part. But it is safe to say that saving on Mercedes is very expensive. Parts must be of good quality, services must be performed correctly, filters and operating fluids must be changed regularly. Negligence often leads to serious and expensive repairs because these cars are Strong and complicated. The engine is also very important. Diesels are often expensive to run, but the gasoline engine can be problematic "M272 M273", so it is impossible to clearly define the cost of owning such a car
In W221, I serviced the right airmatic shock absorber, Gearbox and engine suspension, front wishbones, of course, all filters and operating fluids, Minor repairs to electric cables and a fan on the radio, Driver seat heating, Main battery but very little ride this car much more I drive a W164 and there were repairs most of the fault of the previous owner who destroyed almost the entire drive, Converter, gearbox, differentials, drive shaft bearing, almost completely destroyed the engine driving without oil (there was only 1.5l of oil in the engine) This is an example of extreme stupidity
@@mymercrepairs1097 thank you for your reply , when you mentioned (gearbox and engine suspension!) did u mean the engine and transmission mounts? And as to what u listed in repairs the car is good to u. Btw from how many kms did u own it as it is 280000 kms in odometer or did u buy it new?
@@zuhairsalman4385 Yes I meant mounting the engine and gearbox. The previous owner also replaced the converter. As for the mileage, I did about 10 thousand miles, but I very little drive this car in w164, I made about 35 thousand miles I bought a used car and I am satisfied, but as I wrote, Mercedes can be expensive to use
My 2007 s550 has been saying Malfunction for a few years. I replaced the air shocks, I replaced the compressor. Mercedes said it's something on the passenger side as it's taking too long to fill up, so I replaced the compressor. Not sure if it's an air leak. Ride is very bouncy. Help please
@@MonroeHandyMan the filter is at the end of the pneumatic conduit supplying the compressor, read here mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w221/604086-replacing-airmatic-pump-suspension-air-filter-w-pics.html
Dziękuję za słowa uznania :) Owszem wiązki w Mercedesa nie są najlepsze ale muszę przyznać że ja osobiście bardzo rzadko miewam z nimi problem ale niestety od lat widze bardzo duży spadek jakość wykonania tej marki trochę mnie to smuci bo zawsze dążyłem Mercedesa sympatią a zamieniają się w opla gniją na potęgę sypią sie silniki napędy maglownice slabo to wygląda
@@GhostI967 The photo was from some Mercedes information guide about airmatic or a list of errors I do not remember exactly what. If you care about it, I can try to find him
@@mymercrepairs1097 it's okay, cause I thought it was from a program or some thing cause during the test I got some codes and I removed them so I tried to find more about them but I couldn't such as 90B1 it is for night vision
In the final stage, yes, but the computer error was pointing to the sensor. Therefore, you should not always blindly trust a computer !. When diagnosing, we have to think for ourselves
error on the clocks the suspension enters the emergency mode is very hard but the same symptoms may be caused by other faults first you need to read the errors
Can’t find anywhere what are the symptoms for this sensor when it fails..My computer tells me both are bad but I don’t see any difference in my car besides front driver side bag lower than my passenger when park
It's a shame so many problem with Mercedes I'm having very hard time myself with airmatic suspension I will never in my life buy another mercedes you couldn't give me these junk cars for free I have a e55 and it's a pure nightmare
I understand you, I was going through the same thing, so I learned to take care of my cars myself Mercedes is a complicated vehicle requires a lot of knowledge and proper service, unfortunately hardly anyone can service these cars properly, even an authorized service station
