Hello, I have a 2012 SLS Roadster and have the same exact issue. Have you repaired yours since this post? Thanks

 

Same issue here with my 2011 SLS - Went to Mercedes and they wanted to charge me +10k to fix it!

 

Hi All,

I just had the advisory message "Engine oil Pressure Control, see owners manual." From research I believe this is due to one of the 2 oil pressure sensors showing a different value to the other. oil pressure is guaranteed it says in the manual.....thankfully.

Has anyone tried to replace these switches? its a shame it doesn't let you know on the OBD reader which sensor is giving the issue as from looking at the sensors, one may be possible to change by DIY, yet the other is buried behind pipework and will require removal of the A/C compressor to access it.:frown.

is there a way to test the sensor I can access whilst fitted to the car as I can remove the plug, im not sure of the wiring on the sensor part number A 008 153 0028??

if I remove this sensor to replace will it require an oil drain first or can I remove and replace with minimal oil loss?

Does anyone have access and can attach the Mercedes technical bulletin Li15.18-P-054061 as im told it may be related to this message.

Many thanks for any help in advance.
All the best

Where in the manual did you find that oil pressure is guaranteed, please?
Do you have a page number, please?

thank you so much!

 

Hi all,
I have 2010 SLS with exact same issue. Is it safe to drive? And has anyone found a sensible fix?
Thanks very much

 

Seems a common issue then. Annoying.

 

Any advice appreciated!

 

Anybody care to elaborate on how their problem was resolved? Appreciate any advice!

 

Quick update (good news). Last week we changed the 1 oil pressure sensor that was somewhat readily accessible. It's about a $100 part. The other of 2 sensors looked to be a nightmare to access. We didn't change that one. After changing the 1, we hoped it would resolve the problem, but the oil pressure sensor warning message stayed on, even after disconnecting/reconnecting the battery. Ugh. We figured that either we either needed to still change the other sensor (hopefully not), or needed the factory computer/software to reset the warning message.

Today - took car to my authorized MB dealer - their computer system could read and clear any error codes/messages within minutes. The warning message did not come back on! In addition, their computer could read both oil pressure sensors simultaneously, in real time, through different rev ranges to confirm all was within spec. Drove home about 20 min and no warnings!

Had the other sensor been the bad one, that would have been an expensive proposition in terms of labor to get to it, and put things back together.

 

Hi, I have the same problem on my 2011 SLS. Can you please let me know the part no and a site where to buy the sensor. I hope to have a same luck. Thanks so much

 

Thanks for feeding back. Bet they l loved plugging that car in, what a treat.

 

Same message just came up and was told by dealer to follow TSB and do the wiring mod before replacing sensors. booked in next week and see what happens.

 

Have a 2012 SLS AMG roadster and experiencing same problem occasionally. How did the wiring mod work out. I plan on changing the easier sensor to replace 1st and see what happens but what was involved in the wiring mod ?

what was the final solution to this warning message ?

 

may I ask what was the cost

 

I would like to know the costs as well since I'm getting the same advisory message on start up.

Well I finally had this issue fixed at the dealership and the cost was about $4300

What dealer did you go to ...ive just been quoted $9500 by the dealer for the same thing

Many thanks … pity MB here still are insisting it’s a $9500 job . I’ve contacted an independent MB service repairer and they are more aligned with the cost you are suggesting

 

For all who got the same problem. First step is to replace the Wiring harness ( there is a set at the dealer just for the Oil sensors). If thats not fix the issue than replace both Oil Pressure sensor. You can check them with Xentry. Engine not runing they should have exactly 0.00. (One is jumping to 0.00-0,1 or so)
