04 E55 AMG: Restore TPMS system
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2021 5:34 am
This car was built with TPMS but a previous owner removed all the sensors. However, my MB-II scantool cannot communicate with the TPMS module. All I've ever seen from the car is this on the cluster occasionally:
I wonder if the module is dead or missing. I need to pull the left rear trunk cover to find out. If it needs a module, they are cheap (about $63):

I am considering buying 4 new sensors if I can get to a state where I have comms with the module. Then I would hope to not have an antenna problem (each wheel well has an antenna which makes the system more complicated but also knows where each wheel is which is handy).
