To change the crankshaft position sensor on a Mercedes S500, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Locate the sensor, typically found near the crankshaft or engine block, and remove any necessary components for access. Unplug the old sensor, replace it with the new one, and reconnect any components you removed. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to ensure proper operation.
What year S500 and is it a sedan or coupe? sl 500 convertible
Yes it can!
There is a sensor in the accelerator paddle should be your first place to check.
behind the engine.. near to the windshield.
Probably the speed wheel sensor needs to be reset
Its In The Boot Of The Car And Should Be On The Side
Hire a mechanic.
The Crankshaft Position Sensor is located on the drivers side between the motor and the firewall. If it is faulty you may notice your car will not start, will turn off unexpectedly or will perform intermittently. I have provided a link to me replacing the Crankshaft position Sensor (CPS) on my 2000 Mercedes Benz S500. http://youtu.be/KTTM3VeJuA8
A faulty crank sensor would cause no spark and no fuel.
That range sensor is also the neutral safety switch, so the answer is yes.
The sensor is a hall effect sensor. Measuring resistance will not indicate a "pass/fail". You must test voltage of the sensor while cranking engine. You should see voltage change from 0.0v to 5.0v or see 2.5v on meters that have an averaging function.
To install a throttle pedal position sensor on a 2001 Mercedes S500, first disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Remove the panel covering the accelerator pedal and locate the old sensor, then disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the sensor from its mount. Install the new sensor by securing it in place, reconnecting the electrical connector, and reassembling any panels removed. Finally, reconnect the battery and check for proper operation.
