2008 c300 esp inoperative??

Hi freinds every time i hit the gas pedal all the way down esp icon lights up and it says esp inoperative.
If i dont floor the gas pedal all the way down the car drives fine.
Car has 78,000miles and if i turn it off and start it back up the message erases itself.
What should i look for?
Thanks.

Someone with factory software that can diagnose the ESP control module.

Could possibly be the steering angle sensor. To reset it, when you start the car just turn your steering wheel from lock to lock a couple times and turn it back off. That may fix it. That was the issue with mine.

Good luck!

They are "stored" so probably historic, perhaps from a battery change.
I suggest you clear them, then drive the car, cause the ESP issue and recheck for any codes.

That reader is not interpreting MB codes correctly.
What controller is logging the code ?
Could be a bad connection between the ECU and the logging controller or the ECU is duff. One of the earlier codes suggested re-flashing the ECU.
I suggest you find an indie with Star and have them read the code
