It's getting done today, I do not believe they need to read the data from the old one. STAR didn't mention anything other then connecting to dealer network and registering it to the VIN.
I will call and ask Serge if that is the case, hopefully not since my mechanic removed the old one before driving it down lol.
I don't know about re-coding a used one I bought brand new from dealer.

Yeah ~ 20kph if it's a module fault or wheel speed sensor fault.

How did re-coding your new module go? How much did you pay for your new module?
I'm definitely trying to avoid forking $2k over to the dealership. Thanks!

I just received my first ABS/EBR/ESP inoperative after a 5 minute drive. restarted the car and the errors popped up again.
Left it for 30 minutes and I cant reproduce the error
I did notice something very odd when I started the car the first time this morning, when I released the hand brake and put it into gear, the car would not move. felt like the wheels were stuck despite stepping on the gas pedal.
However I was able to move off after restarting the car.
Perhaps thats related?

UGH 2016 CLS550 with bad ESP module. No ABS lights, no limping or anything OTHER THAN a check engine light and on my cheap *** scanner i get a U0121 code. Took it to the shop and they said yes ESP module. Damn near $2000 to replace here in California. Cant do a used one because they are married to the car so it MUST be a new one. I can purchase one from online dealer for $900 at Sangeraparts.com and put it in myself but still gonna have to have it programmed. I WISH there were some place that repairs these phucin things.

Said per our conversation she spoke with a tech and they said in regards to my module they can not repair it. I am gonna take it apart and see if I can do it myself and if not no harm no foul as am prepared for the worst anyway. I cant find a single place that fixes these for the W218.

I battled with this car long and hard and there are things you DONT see. I have fixed, rebuilt whatever you wish to call it cars for YEARS and never have I run into the madness that I have this German machine.

This error just came up on me again today. It happened 2 months ago, went away after a few days, and just returned today on a '11 with 38k miles.

hi guys,
I work at mercedes-benz dealer as a tech and this problem happened to my 2009 c63... It was EPS,ABS,EPC light and no more power steering. I was after a intake manifold gasket job and pcv .. So, I scanned the car and only 1 code was ther : EPS Control unit internal fault (dont remember the code number) and when a erease it , and start the car , all light was away on powersteering back but after like 1 miles , all lights come on and no more power steering.
So , i went to the shop and use the Star xentry scanner and try to just erease it but did nt work. Old tech at my job said : you need to replace your eps unit , so i didnt want to spend all this money for a f****** unit crash. I took the scanner and only do a Control Unit Initial Start up( You need to do this when you replace the unit) before replace anything. And after 30minutes of coding , it bring back alive the unit. no more lights !
so try this at your local mb dealer
sorry for my bad english i'm french lol
