Viano 3.0 CDI 2006

While coming down slope and after applying brakes the problem appeared. Gone to a Mercedes Service Center. After scanning fault codes are ;
ETC C121
ESP 51C1
ESM P1876 , P1906
UCP B1022
PTS B1068
SAM B1000-002, B1021-007,B102E-009

Service Center is saying that would like to change the ESP and the cost is like US $5,500/-

Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks, Mervyn

Maybe too simple but did you try the old stand by?
Turn on the ignition, Turn the wheel full left, then full right, then full left again. Shut it off and leave it for 15 minutes/

Give these guys a shout ... xemodex.com

i had the same thing happen last time I was on track. All the warning lights came on and the steering got heavy. Every time I turned the car off it would reset and then all the lights would come back on and steering would get heavy when I hit about 20km/h. Scan said that the EBS control module was toast.

i sent it in to these guys. They got back to me the next day saying they weren't able to fix it because they kept getting a code after the repair, so they charged me $75 plus shipping.

I got the module back and reinstalled. All the lights came on then went off almost immediately. They have come back on intermittently on 2 occasions since but have cleared themselves almost right away. This is in about 3 weeks of daily driving.

so, if they can fix it they guarantee the module for life. It costs $450 and you don't need to reprogram the module to the car.

if you module is REALLY toast like mine, they'll 'mostly' fix it and not charge you very much. Seemed better than than a new module from the dealer!

good luck,

Ryan
