Unhappy ABS BAS ASR Lights are on and wont go off

I really don't know what's wrong with my car. Brakes work the same. The car still drives the same. I've had 4 mechanics hook it up to their computer and to no avail they have no answers for me. What is the problem with my car...?

If your lights are on there are error codes, have you taken it to Mercedes or a good Mercedes independent shop?

First of all...if you changed your cattery, it has to be re-synched.


turn all way left...alll the way right...middle.


The most common issue is bad brake pedal with...get poem from dealer...only around $20...quick easy DIY...do a search for brake pedal with or ABS lights and you will find a bunch of these posts.

most common problems (easy fixes) w/clk is ABS lights (brake switch failure), MAF failure (throws bad O2 sensor) and CPS failure (car stalls when hot)...all throw weird codes unrelated to the actual problem

I agree, if you have error lights on then you should be able to pull some error codes with the right sort of scan tool.


For example I had these error codes in my S430 and my OBII reader didn't pull up anything. Once I bought an iCarsoft reader it showed that that for me the front right speed sensor had failed.


Other older posts talk about the brake switch for the CLK (even though you said yours works). Does your cruise control work normally?

Please just replace the brake switch with OEM one.

Talking Brake light switch.

I was able to fix the problem. It took a phillips screwdriver, 4 screws, and a new brake light switch. $22.99 and then a quick drive around the block and all the lights were gone. Thank you everyone for the helpful hints.
