Rain sensing wipers not working
Hey guys, seems that my rain sensing wipers have stopped working on my 2011 E550, wipers still work manually. If I recall correctly, there was a toggle to turn it on or off in the driver assist section of the gauge cluster, can’t find it now. Can anyone confirm the toggle for me to confirm I’m remembering correctly. Also, has anyone run into this before?

It needs to be worked on or exchanged.

Scan it and you will probably get the DTC that the Rain and Light sensor has malfunction.

Simple "Chassis Reboot" is effective therapeutic for these car's unstable electronics, indulge.
Transient fault clearing good too .

My 2015 E400 sedan has the rain sensor DTC B221D49 (Internal electrical fault) as shown by my Launch Elite. I just tried CaliBenzDrivers solder fix last weekend and unfortunately it did not resolve the issue. I am still showing the same error after reinstallation. Light sensor working and showing no codes.
I am curious if anyone here has done an actual calibration with Xentry or their Launch, and if its self explanatory. I looked through the Launch adaptation menu and it doesnt seem intuitive. Id rather spend $77 for a new sensor then try and go the used route and face possible failure soon. I can get my hands on a xentry but would like to at least know its straight forward to calibrate.

First you have to make sure you buy the right module, they come preloaded based on features on your car. Next, when installing, in Xentry, you go to the coding section and the only thing it asked me for was the type of windshield that was installed which was basically choosing its color/tint. For simple install, there was no calibration procedure, just option selection if that makes sense. Easy peasy
