03 Cl55 Abc Pita

Hey. Does anyone make a reliable aftermarket ABC pump for an 03 CL55? I get the annoying red ABC Drive Carefully light when it s colder than 50, rainy, or over 100 degrees. I have had one of the lines replaced and one of the stuts. The dealership has gone so far as to tell me that the warning light is not uncommon, or even to expect it in extreme conditions (puleeezzz). This is the same dealership that has been using my car to learn more about repairing the CL55 (yeah, it's been in there a lot).

Any help would be great! Thanks

Sorry to hear about that.
Maybe you should contact someone at the regional level.
I've never had an abc light and my car sees temps from 25 to 110.

Actually, it is somewhat common for the ABC pump to go out in extreme conditions. Here at my local dealership, the shop forman (a close friend of mine) showed me a few cases were it did happen. I think there is also a service bulliten for this

Thanks for the info. I will give the dealership another shot. It is unfortunate that the dealership recently sold and the seller took all of the top techs with him to his remaining businesses.
