Coolant level indicator electronic switch
The coolant level indicator electronic switch
(S41) is integrated in the coolant reservoir.
Coolant level switch, taskTo record the coolant level:
Coolant level
in order
or
below minimum
Coolant level switch, design
The coolant level indicator electronic switch
(S41) consists of two electrodes which are
permanently cast to the coolant reservoir and
a connector with contacts which have an
electrical connection to the electrodes.
Coolant level switch, function
The two electrodes are either immersed or
not immersed in the coolant depending on the
coolant level. As a result the test current
changes via the coolant level indicator
electronic switch (S41). This change is
evaluated by the instrument cluster (A1).
An alternating current is used so that the
electrodes do not disintegrate.

Crankshaft Position Sensor DIY
hopefully this will help others with what appears to be a common stalling issue in the ML series.
Location:
--------
It's on the rear of the engine where the engine mates with the tranny on the driver's side. There are 2
types. Be sure to get the correct one
Here it is:
1) Get
CPS
at dealer, its a VIN specific part. $125 from my local stealer.
2) Tools needed: Socket screwdriver, Good lighting (portable) shop lights, size 8 outside torx socket,
maybe a ratche
t and extentions depending on your flexibility, magnetic part retrieval tool (skip this at
your peril), bath towel, and long sleeve shirt, step stool, blue thread locker (optional)
3) Open hood and remove engine cover, it just pulls off and on
4) Set wor
k light(s) toward back of engine, lighting behind drivers cylinder head
5) Set bath towel on front of ML to kneel on of your knees will die, wearing long sleeve shirt or your
wrists will be cut.
6) Climb up on towel and look behind engine from above and
right (see .jpg), finding torx attachment
holding your
CPS
.
7) Remove torx screw and pull out
CPS
, disconnect one way connector (wiring)
8) Replace with new (leaving wire detached for now)
9) This is the hardest step by far, and requires patience and fl exibility. Apply some thread locker and
insert screw and start the threads. Tighten with torx on socket screwdriver. This step took about 1/2
hour and numerous dropped screws and retrievals with mag tool.
10) Attach wiring to
CPS
11) Reinstall engine cov
er
12) Clean up tools, towel and lights and everything
13) Drink beer and toast yourself for saving yourself at least $100 and a day of your time dropping off
and picking up cars at shop
Hope this helps someone in the community.
