Great video. Are any additional procedures needed for brake bleeding these things?

Better hope you're under warranty when it does. Mine just went bad a few months ago and got it replaced under warranty. If your dealership tells you it just needed a "software update", don't listen to that BS because it will happen again soon (for me it was only a couple days later). Get the whole unit replaced.

Very true! I've already had mine replaced, luckily under warranty. I heard it was over 1k to replace! Yikes!

The fact that when it goes out without Notice, you loose all BRAKES!

2 things I never understood, how can merc make brakes that fail without notice and leaking fuel in w211...and not get sued majorly!

Edit: i realize after the post brakes can fail in any car and I guess fuel can leak too but still on a merc! 90k car? Idk

Scratch my head

When the sbc fails you don't lose all brakes? You just have to press harder as the sbc pump isn't helping with the pressure?
