Hey all ,

I am new to mbworld , I have recently purchased a 2007 clk63 cabriolet from a friend of mine and I must say i love the car . My CEL has came on and the description of the code is something like intake camshaft solenoid open circuit . I do not have the code number unfortunately . I am wondering if anyone has came across this in the past and what the have done to resolve it . I am located in Long Island NY . I tried to go into my local mb dealership and talk to the service advisor who had helped me in the past but they showed no interest in helping me out .I am currently going to a great mechanic as well but he told me if the care was to come down with major issues he would be unable to help me . I have also seen that people have changed the "magnets" or something to do with the sensor but I am unsure if that will resolve my issue . I am not a mechanic or DIYer for the car but if someone can lead me in a direction it would be highly appreciated !!!

Thanks in advance ,

GT

Open Circuit could be as simple as a blown fuse or the cam sensor/wiring.

Attack the simple problems first. Search the Black series forum here as well

Thanks for the reply Gator . I agree try the small stuff first . Let's see what happens , hopefully dropping it off Monday

So , I picked up the car tonight and the CEL was off . I spoke with my mechanic this afternoon he said he went over wiring and everything was fine . There was not an open circuit current . So he hooked everything back up and cleared the fault , drove around and the light stayed off . Finally I thought it was a glitch , but on the ride home the light came back on . I don't know if I should go to the stealer ?? I looked back at previous service records from the previous owner and I saw they changed both camshaft valves on the right side part number 156-050-14-65 The previous code I has was for the left side . Should I just change both camshaft valves for the left . Open to opinions ! Thanks

I konw ECU and TCU but what do you call MCU ?

I believe she said mcu I think she said motor control unit . Or emcu . Now you have me second guessing myself . Haha . Good thing is my extend warranty is picking the tab up . She said the piece has to be made to order by the vin of the vehicle . Maybe that is some help

Electronic module control unit maybe ??

Tex5

Engine Control unit (ECU), perhaps
The unit is located near the fuse box under the hood

I was able to get the car back a few days ago and the light is off ! Let's hope it stays that way ! .
