Where does the Mercedes Benz crankshaft position sensor come from?
I pulled out the crankshaft position sensor and showed them the original equipment part number of 0261210170 was manufactured by Bosch. This long time German parts supplier still makes a lot of electrical components for Mercedes-Benz automobiles.
What happens if the crank position sensor fails?
Failed crankshaft position sensor can also impact the idling, the acceleration, or even your transmission shifting. In some cases, it can cause your transmission to go into limp mode. You may also notice an increase in engine vibrations. The check engine light is usually illuminated on your instrument cluster.
How much does it cost to replace the crankshaft position sensor?
Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost? While the prices vary based on your location the average cost of replacing the crankshaft position sensor at an auto mechanic or the Mercedes-Benz dealership vary between $250 and $400.

How to change the crankshaft position on a Mercedes Benz?
Unplug the electrical connector from the CPS sensor. Squeeze the connector and pull it away from the CPS sensor. This opens in a new window. Remove bolt. Remove the crankshaft position sensor. You will have either an E8 or E10 bolt that holds the CPS sensor in place.

What happens when the crank sensor does not work?
When the crank sensor completely fails the obvious symptom is a no start condition. Stated in a different way, the engine cranks around fine, but it doesn’t fire up. In fact, there is not even a sputter like it’s trying to start. This is because the main computer control module isn’t receiving a crankshaft input signal.
When does the crank sensor on a crossfire fail?
When the crank sensor starts to fail it often sets a diagnostic trouble code that points you directly in that direction. On the Chrysler Crossfire I pulled a check engine light code P0335 from the computer. Nevertheless, when the crank sensor fails altogether you can pull up the crankshaft data stream.
