ABS inoperative followed 1/2 hr latter by Tyre Ran Flat sensor inoperative as well

[JFCC]

Just to share and see who else has had similar experience. Was driving home last evening 2 days ago when I felt a small but a few quick kickback of the brake. Felt strange but then a message appeared that ABS is inoperative. 1/2 hr later, another message appeared to indicate that ran flat tyre sensor is also inoperative. Don't think they are related? Was travelling than at a relatively slow speed during peak hr. Car is W221 @ 2013 model with some 25KM done. Hopefully not a major problem. Car now in Wkshp. Will see and update. Anyone has similar issues? Thanks and cheers.

mine same problem. diagnosed as ESP module damaged. Changeout whole ESP/ABS module. Damage $2900. 

If yours is just the brake/ESP sensor issue, then cheaper ard $300-400

Hopefully mine is a case of the latter then!

 

I hope anyway it cld be considered a warranty case as I have one more yr to ran on the warranty? Thanks

Had that ESP/ABS/Tyre RF alarm, settled with C&C after replacing Sensor.

An update. Prognosis was sensor failure on one of the front wheel. As the sensor comes in pair, replacement of both front wheel sensors was made. (a rare "bonus" when comes to car maintenance esp so when warranty period is still in placed...!!!). Cheers.

Very "lucky". My turn. 

 

ABS and ESP inoperative

Run flat inoperative

Cruise control and speedtronic inoperative

cannot brake hold anymore - did you guys have this problem?

 

Anybody got any workshop to recommend? And what's the rough cost?

 

thanks much!

Yottokame - sorry to hear of yr case. My experience as noted earlier did not involve the brake being inoperative. It was still possible to drive and the brake was actually working as normal after the initial few "" kickback" just b4 the 2 error messages came on.

[Yattokame]

JFCC thanks for the reply.

 

yeah it's kind of frustrating not to be able to brake hold. nonetheless the car drives normally and I don't recall having any "kickbacks" or whatsoever.

[MBENZ]

Sounds exactly like my symptoms.

My damage 2.9k

Your car need to go for dignosis first

Hopefully your report shows a less problematic sensor issue only

Very "lucky". My turn.

thanks for the reply.....may I know which workshop u sent your car to?

Hi newbie here. after servicing CNC called to inform that my car was diagnosed with steering angle sensor fault. when I was driving back from cnc, esp, RF and cruising errors all appeared on dashboard.

Did a steering wheel reset (full steering wheel full left lock to right turn) and all error messages miraculously disappeared.

Very "lucky". My turn.

Yeah is my turn.  ABS, ESP and EBV inoperative all at once.  I remember afew months ago c&c issued a letter to recall the vehicles to fix this?

 

I also lost power steering.

 

But strangely after I went home and restarted the engine, everything is normal and has been fine for afew days now.

 

M not sure whether I should send the car in now.  I read in some forums simply restarting engine or adjusting steering wheel lock may solve the issue.

Darkseid, perhaps it is best to have it checked it. In my case, the messages came on after restarting. A friend's car showed a similar symptoms as yours but 2 weeks latter it has to been serviced as the messages came on "permanently"! Cheers

[Darkseid]

Ok tks I will do that then.  That helps a lot.  BTW how much did it cost to fix the issue? I assume its just replacement of faulty sensors?  Tks

[JFCC]

If it is just the faulty sensor then I believe the cost is couple of hundreds as someone indicated above, If done at CNC it will cost more. Did mine under warranty (as car is < 3 yrs old).I did ask the service personnel what it would have cost ex warranty. He mentioned 700-800 range but I can tell for sure. Cheers

[Darkseid]

Thank you JFCC.  That helps.  I received a letter from c&c afew months back concerning a recall related to this issue.  Perhaps it is covered under mass recall.

 

Did you receive the letter?  It was by AR Registered post and I had to go to Singpost to collect it on Saturday.

No, don't think we have seen such recall letter. Will check anyhow. Thanks and cheers
