I checked and they all appear to be working. I then had the thought that perhaps the toe is so far out on the front that the wheel on that side is cocked out enough to where there is not a line of sure to the back sensor. Sure enough turning the wheel a little fixed that issue. For some reason I’m getting an error for the RF saying the toe transducer has a problem. That’s the error I was getting when I would block the eye, then that error would pop up for a second before going to the sensor blocked error. I’m done messing with it for today but I think what I’m going to when to do is just a straight 2 wheel alignment first to get the toe correct, then do a 4 wheel. Will see how it goes tomorrow. Otherwise I will take it down somewhere to have it done as I’m going to need to start driving the car week after next.
I might keep an eye out for a new set of sensor heads but the ones I found at the moment they are asking more than I paid for the whole setup. > On Oct 7, 2023, at 5:39 PM, MB list etc via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Can you open the sensor housings and resolder the connections to the LEDs > and sensors?
