What is SAM module?

The Mercedes SAM Module (also known as the Signal Actuation Module) receives data from sensors, switches and controllers, and can send data, start (activate) components, and monitor the system. Mercedes-Benz has been using SAM modules since the mid-90s.

SAMs come in many shapes and sizes, depending on their location on the vehicle. Some are part of a fuse box, some are separate modules, most Mercedes cars typically have between four and five SAM units, depending on the complexity of the vehicle and system.

Causes of Mercedes Benz SAM module

SAM receives data from vehicle sensors, switches and controllers, and it can send data, activate components and monitor systems on the Mercedes. Some causes of errors in this part include:

• Corrosion problem: This situation occurs when you repair the vehicle near the SAM location or the SAM module is not properly closed and sealed, leading to corroded SAM. The most noticeable sign is that the vehicle has intermittent electrical problems.
• Excessive Current Condition: If there is a module that consumes too much current, it can also cause damage to your SAM unit.
• Broken wire or short circuit: This condition leads to your SAM module being damaged due to excessive current draw.
• Incorrect SAM coding: The technician reprogrammed the new sensor but did not complete all the programming.

Signs that the Mercedes SAM Module is faulty

When the Mercedes SAM control box has a software error, you will notice some of the following symptoms:

• Fuel Level / Gauge not working
