Replaced control arms now "ESP not available visit workshop!"
I just finished replacing all 4 control arms, first time getting my hands dirty with a MBZ. My goal is to get the car back in top shape to install the Eurocharged 185 pulley and software combo.
Well finished the job, went for a drive and the car drives very well, I now need to take to a shop to do the alignment. Now I notice after the first test drive the following message "ESP not available, visit workshop!". I didn't disconnect any of the wheel sensors so Im puzzle as to what it could be. Any ideas? maybe the wheel sensor went bad while replacing the control arms?
Also when I put the key back in the malfunction is not there, it shows up within seconds of starting the car

Don't worry......your alignment are so off now that cause the ESP malfunction light to come on. I'm 99.9% sure the alignment will solve the issue.
