Purchased a 2006 S430, but I have a issue which the dealer assured me they will take care of it. The ABS,ESP, and Pre-safe light are on, and the steering seems very heavy. Anybody know what this can be? They told me they replaced the ABS module and it needs to be reprogrammed, so I have to bring it back in tomorrow. I read another thread from 2008 with exact similar issue, but there were no responses to it. Any help or advice?

Try starting the car, and turning the steering wheel from hard over one side to the other.

Started up the car this morning and all the above mentioned issues are gone. thank you for your advice.

Another issue: the tire pressure light comes on, after I drive for a while, it goes away but it disables Pre-safe? any clue on this? or just a TPMS issue?
