I have an 07 CLS 550 and just got some 20" wheels with Conti 3's on them. The shop said that it would be a risk to install the tire pressure sensor on those tires because it could cause damage to the tires in the long run. Therefore we just ignored putting them on, but now we're having problems on turning off the tire pressure sensor because we were told by the dealer that the 07 is different from the 06 in that the 07 has the code "dialed in". Was hoping if any of you had any ideas on how to turn the tire pressure sensor off on the 07's...

...if you are talking about the active TPMS system: that can EASILY be switched off with stardiagnose (which every MB dealer has)...regardless wether it is an 06, 07, 03 or whatever else

See the thing is, that we took the tire pressures sensors off the car completely and they're not on the new 20's I got; therefore in my gauge the tire pressure light comes on and in my display it reads: "No tire sensors..." therefore I was wondering if there was a way I could disable that sensor so that light and message can turn off. I spoke to a buddy and he said that in the 07's its not as easy as in earlier models because the 07s have it dialed into the diagnostics, was hoping for some help...

in short: that buddy is full of *****...it is as easy to switch off in a 2007 as it is in any pre 2007...it requires stardiagnose and ONE person that knows how to operate that stardiagnose

May I ask what shop did you go to?



Steve is right, you can have any MB dealership to disable the TPMS. Whoever told you this is just

SUNILP

You'll have to disable it in the Cluster and probably the CGW or EIS. This will remove the error you have.

MBenzNL

just removing it in the IC already gets rid of that error...rest doesn't need to be recoded (as that will cause errors in the "system diagnose").

sell your wheels and get Aicona's! with my 20's, the wheels were designed to allow the use of the factory tpms system. I think they're the only ones that offer that for luxury wheels. So I don't have that issue of the annoying tire pressure message...

I went to a Mercedes dealer in Modesto, but if you have any recommendations let me know...? They also tried to lower the car there through the star diagnostics, but they said on the 07 its factory set so if you lower it, it will lower but when you turn the car off and then turn it on again the system resets to default settings and goes back to the original ride height? Any suggestions there as well?

Thanks for the help
