I parked my car (2013 B200) by the roadside for 2+ weeks whilst on holiday ... returned to find an ABS error light, and after driving for 200m the car almost overheating. My local garage has already replaced the radiator pump, but can't seem to figure out the ABS issue. (As an aside, its very odd that these two seemingly unrelated issues should appear from two weeks of not being used).
After initial inspection, the garage suspected the ABS signal cable (some blue thing from what I saw, reminiscent of old airplane carbon fibre headsets). After waiting 2+ weeks for the component, it was replaced today, but only caused even *more* problems to be reported by the computer.
Diagnostic output as follows:
Both garage and I are now baffled, and I might have to bring it back to the Mercedes dealership (which would be pricey). Has anyone come across something like this before?
At least with the coolant fixed, I can drive it to the dealership now... but would prefer to get it repaired locally if possible.
Sorry, I wasn't clear: I don't have the Xentry system, nor do I pretend to know how to fix cars. These screenshots were from the garage. It is them who were scratching their heads, since fixing one thing led to another, which led to another etc...
I have a background in IT and networking (not cars) - but I do know that sometimes computers & networks have mysterious and illogical problems which leave me baffled.
Anyway, thanks... and i'll see if they have tried the speed sensors.
