2009 model c63. run flat indicator inoperative also. also i dont have any power steering, does anyone know what this is? thanks

I had a flat tire this morning (ran over a nail). The spare tire had a small tear and wouldn't hold air for long. Luckily I had only a mile to drive. Right as I pulled in to the drive way from the gas station the abs/esp light went off and said it malfunctioned. Could this be a sensor issue? Is this expensive to fix or could I just unplug and plug the battery when I replace the tire? I plan on plugging the tire tomorrow. Please advise.

I had this happen last winter on a snowy day, I had disabled the ESP for the fun of it & up popped that message, I pulled in to a lot & turned the car off & then restarted & all was ok. Canadian cars don't have TPMS's so it's not related to that, maybe the ABS sensor got mixed up with rotations?

Could also been a blown fuse.

Check the ABS/ESP fuses.

How are you bCurtis. I have just experienced the same problem as you did. What did you do to sort the problem?

Happens to me every winter when i try to get into my driveway. If i try too many times it locks up on me.

As soon as I got the flat fixed (plugged) and I put it back on I heard a click and the light went off. It's like the car recognized the original tire that I had on before I used the flat spare tire. It must have been the sensor. I'm guessing it was affected by the flat spare tire. I'm sure if I had of kept on driving with that flat spare the sensor would have completely malfunctioned all together. Since this happened I have bought 4 new tires (Michelin) AS/3.

Bad *** tires!

hi bro my c63 just started having this problem in the morning.
what did you do to fix the problem in the end?did you find the problem?
i ran a test and they said i need to replace my esp computer.
thank you!

If you spin too much, e.g. In snow, the ESP gets confused and thinks the sensors inputs cannot be right and turns off.
Switching the car off and starting again/driving without spinning wheels usually fixes that.

Using a spare with different diameter can trigger the same confusion.

Both situations are self healing.

I had the ESP Malfunction error on my 2007 Mercedes E280 CDI. The dealer fixed it by changing the Steering angle sensor. The error light is gone now but the car is riding very hard.

I have the same issue right now on my 2009 C300
Eps say see owners manual and run flat says inoperative and it will not turn off when i turn the car off and restart it
Ive read a lot about the steering angle sensor being the problem or maybe the (Signal Acquisition/Activation Module) both are fairly expensive
anybody know a website that has good prices on this stuff

I paid around US$500 for the Steering angle sensor including parts and labor at the dealership, but I believe even a reset of the sensor takes care of the problem.
Do try that before you replace the part.

I have tried to reset the sensor by turning the wheel from lock to lock position

Anyone end up figuring out this issue?

Same thing, hard steering and the message is on 10 seconds after start.

Harry Haroon

ive got the same problem, did you sort it in the end, what was it please help
c63 AMG W204 ive been told the esp unit needs to be replaced which comes complete with ABS module,

Those lights came on for me after a failed alternator that also ate up my battery. The battery was on its last legs & all those lights popped up, ABS also stopped working immediately along with power steering

Samething happened to me this week. Alternator replaced.

When did your error pop up? For me it's once I go over 20kph (~12mph).

glovemoney

Didnt notice it associated w/ speed but just prob w/in 10-30 seconds after starting it, so it might be tied to speed.

I managed to fix my problem.

• Pulled all the wheel speed sensors, cleaned them and the housing with brake cleaner and compressed air.
• Blew out all the built up break dust with compressed air around each rotor/hub.
• Unplugged the ESP Module and cleaned the pins with contact cleaner.

I had this problem this weekend, I solved it, I put the same air preasure on the tires then i reset the air sensor on the car console.

c-note2

Try and replace the yaw rate sensor (lateral movement sensor) I had the same issues replaced it and all was good. I under the drivers seat

SBundlez

how do you reset the air sensor?

I'm having a rattling noise at the rear right side of my ML 350 initially it was showing Abs & Esp with the tire signal on my dash board I was told it was the wheel bearing and the wheel sensor I finally came to term with that and changed both but the rattling vibration still occurs with no signal on the dashboard. What do I do? I'm stuck

Max Kiroyan

Same problem here and they told me to change my ESP Module which is really expensive, any other cheaper ways to fix this problem?
