Five Fault Codes

I had gotten both sides of cylinder head resealed less than 1k miles ago. Today CEL came on scanned it with my scanner and stumbled on to five codes P002177, P002477, P030022, P030700, and P06DA00. Anyone have any experience with this on their W222? This is for a 2019 S560 4MATIC. I know the first two codes are related to the camshaft in bank 2. I don't notice it running any differently than normal, so if it wasn't for the CEL I wouldn't notice anything wrong. It is not running rough, no ticking noise, not misfiring or anything. Coil and spark plug was changed on cylinder 7 before the reseal and have already seen these three codes stored P030022, P030700, and P06DA00. The only new codes that I have not seen before is regarding the camshaft. I also read somewhere P06DA00 if no issues with low oil pressure they just connect a "dummy oil pump solenoid" and go about their day instead of replacing it since it is a costly repair. I have had the P06DA00 stored for about 6 months now and don't believe it is the cause for the CEL. I did clear all codes and going to be driving it a bit to see if the CEL comes back on and scan it again when it does.

The oil pump solenoid is the main cause of the CEL in this car. Not all MBs will throw a CEL but the S Class is one of them plus 2019+ model year cars.

This. I disconnected my oil pump solenoid in my '19 S450, and the car immediately lit the CEL. I have connected a 'dummy', cleared the code, and all was good again.

I’m guessing this was everything unplugged when you had the reseal….just clear and monitor. If your oil solenoid is disconnected, that code will stay.

Yes. Seems like they changed something for 2019 model year vehicles since CELs are usually emission related. Although lots of pre-2019 S-Class also throws a CEL when unplugged regardless.

I also recommend manually checking the oil pressure for good measure.

Get it back to the shop that did the head reseal. Those camshaft codes point to a timing issue or damaged parts from that repair. This isn't something to drive on; it needs immediate professional diagnosis. The other codes are likely separate, but the cam codes are the critical issue.

Yes they botched the job, the "cover" is also what holds the camshafts in place but they should not have had to mess with them.
Could be anything from excessive use of sealant now plugging oil channels to something dumb they did that they did not have to do (like completely removing the camshafts or removing and then re using a tensioner).

Actually my apologies, please ignore this post I didn't read the original post properly, other forum members' reply makes more sense.

Can't it also be the oil pump solenoid valve causing false code since it does function with the camshaft? Reason I say this as well it seems people who actually experienced the fault codes related to the camshaft in my post say they experience a rattling noise on startup along with other stalling issues which I do not have. Regardless will get it checked out once the CEL comes back. I have cleared the codes and driven 200 miles without the light coming back. The misfire and oil pump code have come on and off the car for the past 6 months causing the CEL to come on.

Where did you place the "dummy" solenoid? Going to get this done on my next oil change. Or by chance do you have a link of getting this done?

I zip-tied it to a cable beside the oil pan, passenger side.

Just use the same part number as the solenoid inside the engine but plug it outside and ziptie it somewhere safe from moving components and the elements. Just keep in mind, it will get hot as it is meant to be cooled by the oil.

Thanks for the response. I asked as my indy shopped had asked me as they have never done it before. How many miles have you been driving it like that for?

Both the wife's E350 (M276 NA) and my S450 (M276T) have been disconnected.

The wife's for about 20k miles, mine for around 15k miles.

Did you go with an OEM one or aftermarket? Part # shows as 2781800415 for the S class. Also when you installed the "dummy" solenoid did you also install a new wiring harness or just used the one already on the car?

I bought a new solenoid from FCP Euro to use as the dummy. I then disconnected the actual solenoid and connected the solenoid cable to the dummy. Then I zip-tied it to a convenient cable running alongside the oil pan and that was that.

I'm betting that all of the solenoids are the same, so any one should do.
