How to remove PSE pump (central locking vacuum pump) - Mercedes S Class (W220)

[@IfixmyBenz]

If the video was helpful, remember to give it a thumbs up ! It is possible, after removing the pump, to open it and check the pressure at the turbine outlet. I explain it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6jPd5WnrJWoopY Good DIY ! 😉

Very clear, no bs straight to point video. A+++

The pump also operates the automatic folding of the rear headrests.

[@IfixmyBenz]

Yes, you're absolutely right ! Thanks for your additional information.

Good video! What if 20 fuse does not blow, but lock/unlock buttons don't work?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hi ! Check other pneumatic functions (trunk opening and closing, lumbar cushion). If they do not work, the problem is with the PSE pump. If they do work, then the problem is the locking function. There are many possible causes of the problem. The first thing to check is whether the lock/unlock buttons on the dashboard, next to the hazard switch, are functioning properly. If they work, then the problem is your key or the radio receiver. Try another key. In short, proceed by elimination. Good luck ! 😉

[@krzysztofgraban]

@@IfixmyBenz thank you. I already disassembled PSE. Motor burned out. Overheat signes on the plastic PSE cover. Next step will be to check if what was the reason of high temperature: motor or pump. Lot of fun 😀

[@ferhadsuleymanov4187]

Will the doors close after we take this out?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! If this pump has been removed, the door will not lock with your key fob. To lock the door, you will simply need to use the metal key (pull the metal key out of your key fob). 😉

[@michaelzandini3922]

Very well explained! 👌👌

[@armenvegas]

My fuse is fine but locks and trunk and headrest not working. Any suggestion

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! To begin with, sit in your vehicle and close the door to isolate yourself from outside noise. Check whether you can hear the pump running when you operate the central locking with your key. If not, check the electrical connectors connected to the pump...

[@armenvegas]

@@IfixmyBenz thanks I'll try that.

Bonjour, Pouvez vous nous donner la référence de cette pièce s'il vous plait? Ouù peut on se la procurer? Merci beaucoup et super video

[@IfixmyBenz]

Bonjour et merci à vous ! La pompe complète (la boite noire) est disponible en concession Mercedes, à un prix assez élevé, et la référence varie suivant l'année du véhicule. Cependant, quand cette pompe est en panne, il est souvent possible de la réparer soi-même. Pour cela, je vous invite à aller voir la vidéo suivante: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6jPd5WnrJWoopY et à jeter un œil à la description de la vidéo (en dessous de la vidéo), vous y trouverez des infos pour remplacer le rotor de la pompe... 😉

🙏 Thank you !

[@aaronson2540]

Thank you for video very helpful, question if seems like my fuse you talk about keeps blowing ( Short) would this pump cause this problem?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! Yes ! When the pump rotor is broken it usually prevents the motor from running and the fuse blows immediately when you put a new one in. This is the most common failure (see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6jPd5WnrJWoopY). However, you may have a short circuit somewhere or a blown motor and this would also blow the fuse, but this is much rarer because this pump is designed to electronically stop a function when the motor runs too long to prevent it from blowing.

[@sebastianmiczulski187]

Ho.After i fit new pump i need use Star diagnostic to clear faults?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! Be careful, if you install a brand new pump, a programming with STAR is necessary ! And it is not a simple fault clearing. This is why it is better to repair your pump and then reinstall it in your vehicle after repair. In this case, it's just plug and play ! 😉

[@sebastianmiczulski187]

I fix my Benz Hi thank you for reply!Can i ask how about used second hand pump?stil the same?i have star diagnostic..how to program the new pump?regards

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@sebastianmiczulski187 If you want to replace your pump with a used one, you should choose a pump from a vehicle with exactly the same options as yours, so you won't have to reprogram it.

Hi, my s320's battery is flat so cannot open the boot. The metal key does not work either, I don't know why. I suspect it could be the vaccum funciton pulling the boot shut, thats why I came here to find the location of the PSE pump. THen I see that the PSE pump is in the boot... that I can't get into..... lol Any ideas what I can do? I've looked at trying to find a way to jump the battery or give it enough juice for the remote key or button release to unlock the boot but I've tried few methods that don;'t match what I see for my s320 e.g. the passenger foot panel doens't have a cable that some models have to allow a jump. Note: your video is very high quality and can see all the bits clearly and informative

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hi ! The use of jumper cables under the passenger foot panel was indeed a good idea. Anyway, you should be able to get by with the metal key. However, its use is a bit confusing... It can be inserted both ways but only one way works ! Furthermore, once inserted the right way, it can be turned both ways, but only one way will open the trunk ! I suggest you look carefully at the direction I insert the metal key and the direction I turn it in the video. 😉

[@duge4268]

@@IfixmyBenz I've tried both ways (even tho I didnt think it should make a difference). I will try again!

[@duge4268]

@@IfixmyBenz I tried the way the video shows. tried again inserting the key both ways and turning both ways each time and it doesn't work :(

[@IfixmyBenz]

@@duge4268 The lock or the mechanical opening mechanism is probably a bit seized up. This can happen after a few years, because the metal key is hardly ever used. First check whether the push-button is not already blocked, pressed upwards, before the metal key is inserted. This sometimes happens. Then lubricate the lock with WD40 using the small hose supplied. Then insert and turn the key several times. If it still doesn't work, I would try removing the license plate light to see if it is possible to lubricate the mechanical opening mechanism by passing the WD40 hose. I've never done this but it might be worth a try. The mechanical opening mechanism operates a long metal rod connected to the trunk latch located below. Good luck ! 🤞

[@Sharpswordherald]

My motor is working just fine but I believe I have a leak in one of the lines, how do I remove each hose separately? I don’t want to accidentally break them, do I need to squeeze anything and pull it out? Or do I need a special tool?

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hi ! To disconnect a pneumatic line on the pump side, simply operate the tab located in the hole where the pneumatic line is inserted. No special tools needed ! 😉

[@briankarl6233]

I have a 2002 Mercedes S55 AMG with 170K miles. After I replace my suspension and PSE pump does the dealer need to re flash it with their software? Thanks

[@IfixmyBenz]

Yes, the installation of a new PSE pump requires programming. And just to clarify, the PSE pump is independent of the suspension. 😉

[@dev894]

mine seems to have a leak for the driver door, where can I find hoses or the little plastic piece that goes into the grey connector

[@IfixmyBenz]

Hello ! You can find plastic pipes and clutch simply at your Mercedes dealer. I will try to do a video on how to repair pipes.

[@mattl6110]

Excellent video

[@gcounter3815]

Is there any coding or software work needed to make sure the car recognizes the new pump? Or will it work right away when mounted?

[@IfixmyBenz]

If you install a brand new pump, programming using STAR is necessary after installation according to the vehicle options ! If you install a used pump, you must ensure that it comes from a vehicle identical to yours if you do not want to have to reprogram it. If you reinstall YOUR pump after repair, no programming is necessary. It's just plug-and-play !

[@MagmaMorph]

@@IfixmyBenz If I replace a used pump MOTOR ONLY from different model and solder to original PCB do I still need programming?

[@IfixmyBenz]

​@@MagmaMorph, If you replace only the motor, no programming is necessary. However, be careful to use an identical motor because the output air flow rate must remain exactly the same. Indeed, the pump uses the operating time of the motor to detect a system malfunction.

[@armenvegas]

How do you program a new one?

[@vornamenachname5589]

This is a very good step-by-step tutorial. But PSE stands not for Pneumatic System Equipment. Its short for the german phrase "Pneumatische SteuerEinheit" which means "pneumatic control unit".

[@IfixmyBenz]

👍 Thank you for this precision ! 😉

@@adamtaliat6139 Check the large electrical connector connected to the pump for corrosion or other damage, and make sure you have power at this connector. Is your replacement pump brand new? if so, programming is required.
