ABS & ESP Inoperative, Run-flat Inoperative

[Guest schnitzer7]

hi bros, need advice ...

anyone encounter "ABS & ESP Inoperative, Run-flat Inoperative" message on the speedo?

Ran the diagnostic and found it to be speed signal (sensor) fault ..

Mech said need to check for the parts replacement, is it safe to drive when ABS & ESP inoperative??

My car is from PI, warranty just over, can recommend good Merc workshops to carry out checks and servicing? Since warranty over, should I go for TWM warranty??

Pls advise .. thanks, Cheers!!

TWM!! Do a search here & please read up. Look for our starkblack or MBM for advise. Is dangerous to drive without ESP & ABS, go real slow if u need the car.

In the W211 E200K model, it could be due to the fault of the steering angle sensor

thanks for your advice, bros .. will visit either MBM or starblack for 2nd round of checks.. now have to drive slow to get to their workshop.

it all happened after i collected my car from the valet, went back to ask him what did he do, he denied anything ... wonder is just bad luck / coincidence??

hope nothing major ..

Ya...true, I never let valets handle my ride! :whistle:

Mayb our Mercs re footbrake so he didn't knw how to unlock as its diff fm conventional type. Then whack e acceler thus burnt e sensors! Possi right! :shocked:

Few months back also got this issue.. turns out is a brake light switch that is faulty.. You can also try to operate cruise control and speed limiter, and it does not work too for my case.

That is after I change my tyres. Anyway.. paid $140+ for C&C to fix. mine is a W211 E200K.. '08.

[Guest schnitzer7]

had it checked with MBM and another Merc specialised workshop, it's confirmed that it's the speed signal sensor (front-left) faulty .. said it's common problem in almost all Mercs

problem is .. MBM said need to change all four sensors when the latter workshop said only required to change the faulty one.

What do you guys think? pls advise .. thanks

[Guest arshavin]

Under warranty? If not change one will do but make sure is OEM

Wa....like wat bro arshavin quoted, if its under warranty go C&C fr a geniune claim. :becky:

Otherwise tat particular sensor shld be replace unless you wanna peace of mind than change both frt two sensors lor! :whistle:

If nt go Starblack just to change the faulty frt left sensor if MBM insist tat 4 sensors needed to be replace which u re nt comfortable la! :hand:

out of warranty bro, that's why heed your advice to send in to MBM for a check .. and it's PI car .. *dilemna* ..

[Guest arshavin]

From previous history, replacing the front 2 sensors is already very safe. I don't see the need to replace all 4 sensors
