W204 C200k 1500rpm issue


hello everyone, I am having a problem with my car, when I start my car it says "esp currently unavail. see owners manual” and at that time the car's rpm was 1500 rpm. the car won't accelerate, only stays at 1500rpm. then I turned my car off and started it again, and finally it was back to normal. Every day things like this happen again and again, can anyone help?

I have a pretty good idea what kind of luxury hell you're going through.... sorry to read that.


One or more control modules are actively disfunctioning.

Your display shows the ESP module messaging, by itself it can impact CAN COM's from otherwise perfectly good engine to tranny computers.


ESP input connector pins...


ESP areas of concerns...

Brakes controller needs flawless reliability. Yours is having issues perhaps caused by low voltage in addition to marginal connections.

You will need to visit your MB specialist to get this diagnosed and replaced for less than $2500.

Need to scan it with a mercedes specific obd reader.

May be an issue caused by water getting into the car, front sam or in the trunk.

Go in the trunk and look under your spare tire, is there any water?
