This guide will walk you through the process of replacing a faulty tire pressure sensor on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz C260L using Launch TPMS 5011 V2. Follow these steps to identify, replace, and program the new sensor, ensuring everything works perfectly.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to identify the faulty sensor (in this case, the FL wheel position)
- How to program a new Launch tire pressure sensor
- Activating and learning the new sensor
- Completing the OBD relearn procedure
- Verifying the repair by checking the instrument panel and conducting a road test if needed
Menu Path:
Activate to TPMS -> MERCEDES -> C Class- 2015/07-2021/05 (433MHz) [C05]
Note: If there are multiple menus for the same model year, try the 2014/10-2022/12 (433MHz) [G11/G12] if activation fails.
Operation Steps:
1. Activate the TPMS Sensors:
Choose [Active] to activate the four tire pressure sensors. The FR, RR, and RL wheel sensors will activate successfully. If the FL wheel sensor fails to activate, this confirms that the FL sensor is faulty.
2. Remove the Faulty Sensor and Check:
Remove the damaged sensor and choose [Learning]. Check the sensor part number or print number in the selected menu. Only proceed if one of the numbers matches.
3. Programming the New Sensor:
If it’s an original sensor, verify. If it’s been replaced with a different brand sensor, proceed to the next step.
Click [Programming] and choose [Auto]. (Alternatively, you can choose [Manual] to input the original vehicle sensor ID or [Copy by OBD] to copy the sensor ID).
Wait for the programming to complete.
4. Install and Inflate the New Sensor:
Install the programmed Launch tire pressure sensor on the FL wheel, ensuring that the tire is inflated to the standard pressure.
5. Activate the New Sensor:
Choose [Active] to activate the Launch tire pressure sensor at the FL wheel position.
6. Learning the Sensor:
Click [Learning], then [OBD Relearn], and proceed once the learning process is successful.
Verifying the Repair:
After successful learning with TPMS 5011 V2 Diagnostic Tool, the tire pressure light on the instrument panel will turn off, and the tire pressure value will be displayed correctly on many car models.
If the tire pressure value doesn’t show or the light remains on, perform a road test at a speed of 30km/h or above for 15 minutes. If there are no abnormal tire pressure warnings, the issue is resolved.
This guide ensures that the sensor replacement process is smooth and effective, providing clear instructions for both beginners and experienced technicians. With the Launch TPMS 5011 V2, you can efficiently handle tire pressure sensor issues on the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C260L.
