Mercedes-Benz TPMS Wheel Sensor Missing
If the tire pressure monitor sensor battery becomes empty or the sensor gets damaged or missing, your Mercedes-Benz might display the TPMS “Wheel sensor missing” message and dash lines through the designated tire sensor.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
TPMS helps us have a safe ride and travel efficiently. However, the tire sensor battery occasionally tends to run out, and the sensor has to be replaced. The average battery lifespan of a tire sensor is around 7-10 years. You can’t usually replace the battery itself, so you must replace the tire sensor completely.
These are some possible causes why the Mercedes-Benz TPMS light is on:
