So i took the car to an indy shop and the codes p0720 and p0500, the mechanic said i need to change the output shaft sensor. Ive been to 4 parts stores and no one can help me. Does anyone have any suggestions ? I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Do you mean crank position sensor? That is a very common problem with these cars. My 2000 S500 a few years ago had this problem. Good luck

It's not really clear what your issue is - the one described early in the thread, or just pre-safe, or...

If it is the earlier problem from the thread:
Start the engine. Turn the steering full left, then full right, then back to center. Turn the engine off, wait for a minute, start the engine.
Did the warnings go away?

There are a lot of things on the W220 that need resetting occasionally, especially if your battery is marginal.

If you still have warnings, start your own thread.
Use a descriptive title (NOT something like "Need Help"!)
Give a full description of your car: (Model S430,S500, S600); Year; Market the car was built for; 4Matic or not; Anything special.
Give a FULL description of what the car is and is not doing. The more information you give, the better your chances are of getting a good guess from the Forum.

If the problem happened after a dead battery you simply need to reset the systems .
