Photo DIY- Crankshaft Postition Sensor R/R M113 Engine 2004 G55

Well, I must say, this is the first "Serious" Failure I've had on this truck in 10 years/99,000 Miles. Silly things like Window Regulators and Door Handles? Yes, sure... but this was a REAL Failure. In fact, out of the whole "Fleet", this was the first time I've had a CPS go bad.. and two of the higher-mileage vehicles are 166K, and 162K miles.

I was out in the "Back 40" doing my Weekly Differential Work-Out... Blasting my Music.... when I noticed I wasn't moving any more.. WHAT THE!!!???

Engine was OFF! Tried to re-start, to no avail. I waited 5 minutes, and the truck started. "AHHHH", thinks I... "Classic CPS!!"

Wa able to make it into the garage, hooked-up the Quickie-OBDII, which confirmed my Diagnosis.

Sean at Eurotruck got me a very attractively-priced Bosch CPS, very QUICKLY! Thanks!


I must say, this Job is about as easy as it gets!! A 10-Minute-Special!

In fact, it was soooo cheap and easy, I am going to Pre-Emptively change the CPS's on the older cars.

One Caveat... Use GREAT CARE for this job while the engine is Hot, you could get a Cooked Extremity!!

To be perfectly Honest... I'm not sure what the Outcome would be *IF* you don't Re-Adapt the CPS with the STAR/Procedure.



(and I hope Harald appreciates my Change in Color/Font... I did not want to cause him a Neuro-Optic Embolism. He's got enough Rehab on his Plate.... )

Perhaps a bit of heat protection would make these last longer?  These only seem to fail on the V shaped engines.  The inline engines have the exhaust far away on the other side.

I'm not sure about your theory. The two "High Mileage" vehicles have M112, and M119 engines, both are V shaped. Granted, those engines also have better "Diaper" systems, so perhaps there is better Air-Flow, and Cooling around the engine/components.

I don't think there is any spot on a G where things "Flow" smoothly.. Ha Ha! The Aerodynamics of a Toaster Oven...

In Europe they compare the aerodynamics of the G to the Vienna Hoffburg.

I've replaced mine on the 2000 G500 without re-adaptation. No problems.

G-AMG,

Excellent post. Thank you for your contributions to the G Community. I have my replacment CPS in the tool box waiting to install. This post really cleared up some questions. Good tip on releasing hood and magnetic pick up tool.

Thanks

Search is your friend. Thank you G-AMG for another awesome DIY with pics. Don't see this post in the DIY section. It should be added to that section.
