Since it got colder I have been driving my car not as often, about 2-3 times a week with each drive about 20 miles. Today, after 3 days of sitting I wanted to drive it to my office. First 10 minutes everything was all right, then yellow warning "ABC Malfunction" came on. I thought just an error, stopped the car, switched of the engine and went outside = ride height was fine, no problems. Started driving again, after about 10 minutes another message came on "ABC Malfunction - Stop the car now" in red color. Managed to get it right to the local MB dealership, which was 2 minutes from where this happened. When I stopped the car and looked at it from outside:
1) smoke from the engine (hydraulic fluid everywhere in the engine)
2) ride height dropped dramatically on front right side
3) hydraulic fluid under the car

I think a hose or something like that. Wonder, how much this will be. Will keep you informed as soon as they call me.

This is a photo of a yellow message, which was 10 minutes before everything went ultra wrong.

Hope the pump is OK. When you get the red "stop car now", it means NOW.

Car is fixed, it was ABC Hose, the cost of material was 350USD, labour was about 250USD. I guess I was very lucky.

Hi guys i have question about ABC malfunction on my CL63 2012
I will give me a yellow error ABC malfunction when I stand running on P for a long time I will classify D and after a few seconds I will give me abc malfunction you can not advise me what the problem may be? did it before changing the set of abc oil and the filter
thank you for the information

Checl the level of the fluid immediately! Also check the color. Alot of times, the yellow light alone can be a warning for low fluid and a simple top off can prevent further issues. Also to the original poster, ive haf to deal with the same issue. Luckily in both our cases, the pump was not damaged.

I'll try to write to my service man I had a better price there and one piece if you were interested

I have a 216.371 CL500/550 2006 euro model, which started as 2007 in USA. W216

do you have air matic suspension no abc in my opinion or???

I have the complete AMG package. Full package. ABC suspension.

So you have to buy it all velve block

but since I exchanged it so there has been no problem so far so I am satisfied!
there is no other way
