MB W221 S500 2006
W221 S500 A/C Problems

Hello all, I have W221 S500 2006 VIN: WDD2211711A005110 and I am having problems with the A/C system, getting code "9315 A9( AC Compressor) Pressure Control Valve Short Circuit To Positive or Open Circuit"

I have looked at the SAM on the driver's side and saw that there is only one wire going to the AC Control Valve Number 8, I have checked the wiring diagram and I see that there should be 2 wires coming to the valve, connected the number 9 wire from the SAM to the positive side of the Valve but still having the same message.


I went to my local garage which deals with A/C and they are telling me that MB uses only one wire for the A/C Compressor control valve and that he tested it and it seems good, now I am completely lost.

My first question would be if there should be 2 wires going to the A/C Control valve or only one?

Is there any way to test the Control Valve by resistance?

I also read that this could be caused by a blown diode which causes inductive currents from the coil in the valve of the a/c compressor to reach front SAM.

Thank you in advance for the help.

For me personally it was the solenoid, but changed to a new compressor cause old ones bearing was shot.

So a solenoid change is an option?

I see itvis very tight quarters

In my case it was a diode issue, you would need an oscilloscope to see it



All below 0 line is reverse current causing controller to stop signal and log AC copressor short circuit code
