i got a lot error codes related to SAM module

especially All 3 sam module have problem


i remember some symptoms

1) driver seat cannot be controlled. when i click the memory seat (button 1 and 2 work for the movement of main seat)

2) when i click the memory seat of passenger side number 1 or 2 , suddenly all ABC is down .

3) light sensor is not working ( i dont know if it has relation with sam but i bought new one that is not tested yet)

4) A/C is working . i cant get cool air .but heat is working well.

5) and so on... i dont remember.


car is made in 2003 , SL55 (WDB2304741F020031)

i also saw CAN BUS error . yeah...
when technician was setting SBC for the brake change, i saw the connection was lost often .

could you guess what happened to my car?

if possible please let me know all 3 SAM's P/N i am getting alot stress from my car...

technician couldnt solve the problem saying that it's first time to see all 3 SAMs have problem . so he is worrying change all 3 sams cuz of the price.

Get it on a diagnostic system, isolate systems to identify the problem area(s), then repair or replace as necessary. Do not just start throwing parts at the car.

PM me your email address.
