A SAM is a signal acquisition module this box takes in all of the components on the car. The car needs to know what it has, and right now it thinks that it has all of those faults as the Can Bus cannot communicate with those items that are giving warnings

It best to find an indie with STAR and it will confirm the fault

Without sounding patronising:

Indie - Independant Mercedes Specialist

STAR - Diagnostic Machine (Essentially, it also does other things but can identify a broken SAM and tell you other things about the car).

Hello thank you so much I looked up my local indie and they reset everything using the STAR computer and all is now solved no more alarms.

It happened because when I purchased the car the battery was flat, anyway all ok now

thank you
