Double check to make sure you got the connectors all the way on at the ECU.

02 C32 AMG sold!
I had a ESP disabled light when I sent my ECU to Powerchip,
the evening the light was on, tested the car and was driving
fine, the very next morning the light went away

Since you disconnected the battery, you'll most likely have to perform the recalibrate procedure.

Turn the steering from lock to lock both ways and see if it goes away. You stated you read it on the forum but wasn't sure if you actually performed it.

I put it on the dyno and tuned it. the final a/f was about 11.9. the fogger was put after the map sensor.the car runs smooth it ran an 8.4 at 86mph at an 1/8 mile. the 60ft was not good it was my first time at the track with the nos, so i was soft with her from the hole.60ft was about 2.2. i need to get some pics & videos to show them.

We put both jets of the nos for a 50shot but ran a little bit lean so the fuel side jet was removed and added a bigger size one and kept tuning it that way until we got the correct a/f. without the nos there shouldn't be any problem. Thats the benefit of having a wet system you can dial in a good mixture with some patience & time on a dyno.imop
