I had that once (of course).

The problem turned out to be an open circuit at the wiring connector where the wires go to outside the car.

Problem was the sensor position
I forgot that mounting this sensor is tricky
0.5mm to the left it doesn't work, 0.5mm to the right it doesn't work, shows 0KM/H on DAS

I took down the brake disc and caliper, hooked up DAS XENTRY
go in ESP, actual values
showing speeds of all 4 wheels
then ajust sensor, turn the axe with your hand to the left, and it shows 2.5 km/h if ok

done

Good job Peter!

Do you think you would have found that without SDS?

Without Xentry Das ? yes
all the general Diag softwares like Autocom that you can get as a clone from Chine for 60$ will show speed sensor speeds
before I had Xentry I used that in the first weeks

But again, if you love working on your Benz, You MUST HAVE Xentry Das, EPC & WIS

thx a lot for your help again

Glad you got it sorted, I find often when it doesn't get fixed after a new sensor, it's an issue where the wires have been chewed by a rodent. Seen that on 3 or 4 cars already.
