Help! ABS Warning Light Lit, and Transmission not Shifting
Hello all,
I have a 1997 C230. I went to turn on my car, and the ABS light on the instrument panel turned on. I then tried driving the car, however the transmission wasn't upshifting out of 1st or 2nd gear. Perhaps this is the "Limp Home Mode". I have had my transmission changed under warranty already. By the way, the car has 70,000 miles on it. Any help would be really appreciated!
Thank you!!

Oops, I thought I was replying to my post with the same problem. My 97 C280 was doing the same thing. Would not shift out of 1st and the ABS light was on. Hope this helps.
