Hello guys this is my first post in the forum!
I have retrofitted the steering wheel with the valve for parameter steering wheel and my problem is that im searching the schematic for the ESP module so I can connect the valve with the ESP without changing the hole wiring harness has anybody have it or know where I can find it?
Thank you!

Search the ///AMG forum.
you’ll need to upgrade/change the ESP module to +213 PML.

213 PML.

Good evening Manos. I'm interested in making my hanger electro-hydraulic. Can you help me with exactly what it takes to make it happen? IF I am not mistaken, I need an electro-hydraulic hanger, a wiring connected to the esp unit from the rack and a change of esp unit with the code 213. Am I in the right direction or am I missing something? And then of course coding with the diagnostic. Your every help would be invaluable to me. Thank you in advance. Andrew

Rather than going to all the trouble of retrofittibg parameter steering, your PS pump might just be weak. The PS pumps fitted to this era cars has a habit of losing pressure especially if it spent a lot of time at full lock. The pump has a bypass valve to divert pressure away from the rack when you're at full steering lock. That valve can get stuck permanently and then your steering becomes way too heavy. Even without parameter steering these cars didn't not have very heavy steering when they were new.

Early w203s (01-04) had 3.3 turns lock to lock. 05+ they got a quicker 2.8 turn rack. The parameter steering rack found on the w209 was 3.0 turns. I'm just retrofitting a 2.8 turn rack and a new ML pump (higher pressure).

Thanks for the answer tj. I don't have any issues with the pump. I just want to make this retrofit, cause driving in the city of Athens, Greece is a bit annoying with a hydraulic pump only. I drive other cars too with electric-hydraulic steering wheels and then getting to mine feels a lot heavier and in parking is way heavier than electrohydraulic steering. So this is the reason that i want to retrofit it.

Parameter steering isn't an electric assist. All the assists still comes from the hydraulic pump. The difference is it has a variable bypass built into the rack controlled by the ESP computer.

Ok. Thanks for the tip. That means that the steering has to be changed, right?

Hello Sunman and welcome back. I can't find something related with your nickname and this retrofit but here is my latest moves i made.
1. I ordered the steering rack and pinion with the valve.
2. Ordered the esp with the option 213pml
3. Ordered the wiring from the solenoid valve.
I understand, as I read here in another topic, that i am missing some wires with plugs that need to connect from the wiring of solenoid valve to the esp module. Do i understand right?
What needs to be programmed after these installs? Do i have to update sa card so that programming can be done? What needs to be programmed?

yes you are correct. You have to run two wires (I think) from the valve to the esp module. What year is your car? I’ll have to verify programming. What tools do you have to program? Doing it via the SA card route is easiest but most dealers will not update the SA card.

Pin 1 of the Valve needs to go to pin 44 of the ESP module.
Pin 2 of the Valve needs to go to pin 13 of the ESP module

This wiring applies to cars built after 08/01

Sunman, hello again. I am ready to install the parts. Everything is in order but i am looking to find out what is the procedure for programming. What are the things that i must program? Do i have to update the sa card for start or no? Do i have to update the part number of the esp module?

If memory serves me correctly, only EIS coding was required. I'm not even sure it was required at all.
