TPS & BAS ESP Issues
Short backstory I believe the BAS/ESP light was on prior to me buying the car & changing my TPS sensors and factory wheels/tires but I cant remember (Possible YAW sensor?). Yes I've done the BAS/ESP reset multiple time.. anyway back to the TPS (What I think is the fault with the BAS/ESP because my unit is probably detecting no sensors so low tire pressure?) So originally I went to a local tire shop, purchased rims, tires, and sensors. I cant remember what they told me because it was so long ago, but either they couldn't connect to the unit to program, or couldn't connect to the old sensors or both.. anyway I told them install new sensors (this was before they realized they could not connect to the TPS) Im assuming they didn't have the right equipment as I was investigating similar situations on the site. Basically now I'm left with 4 tires, no sensors, and no access to the old sensors to possibly clone. Where do I go from here can I purchase new sensors with the right MHZ frequency and can another shop possibly program these correctly? If I call around what tool would they need to do this?

Your BAS/ESP light has nothing to do with the TPMS. Use the search feature at the top R/H corner of the page.

Ditto. The BAS/ESP lamp will light up if any fault is found that would/could effect your braking (BAS) or traction control (ESP). Tires that are under inflated, or are triggering a "low pressure" warning from the TPMS system in theory will affect braking and traction, hence your BAS/ESP lamp coming on. I had the same thing occuring while all the time having my "low pressure" lamp on. After replacing all the sensors when purchasing new wheels, all the warning lamps disappeared and have not returned. You may want to hook up an OBDII reader and check for any codes if you can. This is also very helpful in troubleshooting. |

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
Replaced the break light switch for the hell of it since they're known to go bad, didn't help. Is there a way to scan for the codes my buddy up the street has a really high end snap on scanner just curious because it throws no engine codes etc.

I saw your other post it was scanned as a Crossfire. Have him scan it as a 2004 SLK 320 and see if it can read the BAS/ESP module. (if it didn't read it the first time)

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
Back down the rabbit hole... I just got the ESP system scanned and it through a bunch of codes 10 to be exact. Can someone please give me some guidance? Is this BCM related, it seems illogical to have all these issues at one time, but I have zero signs of a bad BCM from the typical posts around here. Can someone please try to decipher all of this mess?

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
What scanner did you use and what did you scan it as?

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
Well, actually it is a 2004 Mercedese SLK320 with a Chrysler body. Chrysler scans don't work too well.

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
I would try as those codes make no sense.

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
If the guy can't tell that this car is no Chrysler, perhaps you should not be going to him at all. I lived in the small-ish town of Cumming, GA and went looking for someone to bleed brakes on the Crossfire and change the pads. I noticed that "Glovers Garage" was staffed by some middle-aged brothers and their sons, and an SLK320 was often in the parking lot. I stopped in and told the guy what I wanted done. His response, "Sure, we can do that. Now, ya know, this car is a Mercedes..." I knew right away I'd found the right shop. Find one like that.
The '320 was this particular guys' wife's daily driver, he'd already learned about the RCM issue and the "sticky key" problem........... Glovers is not a "German Auto SHop" but may as well have been. |

Re: TPS & BAS ESP Issues
this thread started with BAS/ESP question. The codes show above relating to that problem are 1860 1875 and 1160.
1160 relates to the ESP/Yew rate sensor in the center console. That sensor is wired directly to the CAB Control Anti-lock Brake. Check all connections and wiring for continuity. Basic resolution to the code is clear all codes, start car for a couple minutes; turn it off and check again for codes, if no codes then drive car and see if code returns. Code still there replace yew sensor. 1860 is Shift Lever Assembly SLA, CanBus problem between SLA and CAB 1875 is SLA Can C Bus between Transmission Control Module That 1040 PCM CanBus code should be corrected before assuming a SLA problem. The 1040 code refers to the SLA CanBus connection to the PCM at connector C4 #1 and #11 ( those wires run through a connector at the TCM and a splice in the engine bay) All codes point towards the SLA, but check that canbus at the PCM first. With all the problems you are having with your car I suggest going to ebay and purchase a Crossfire Service Manual. It comes in three volumes and you need all three. It would be money well spent! |
