ESP MALFUNCTION VISIT WORKSHOP

Hey folks.
Currently working on my c230 w203.
it lights up in the ESP lamp in the dash, and got it on a tester that says ''internal failure steering angle sensor''
have then tried to change a used steering angle sensor, delete the error and the error came back immediately.
have taken the abs sensors out, cleaned them and sanded down the metal so they have 100% connection again, still no improvement.
Anyone have an idea what it could be or what I could check?

Not sure if you can do this but on iCarsoft you can check the steering angle,
in the ESP section, live data. So what scanner are you using?
One that reads MB should pinpoint it for you.

Hey!
i don't have any diagnose tools, I was at a garage and they read the code.
but I have a question, do you need to code a used steering angle sensor after putting it on your car?
