CLK W208 Abs and Bas Esp Fault

Hello in weekend I had an Issue with ABS + Bas&Esp fault on my clk 200 kompressor from 2001 ...I didn't found here the solution so I leave here the solution of the diagnostic code C1000-16 ( I attached mb star report ) the problem was the relay from the K40/4 unit ( the black one)



The relay that I think was bad

The relay that looked a little burned

Mbstar Diagnostic report

Have you tried all of the master resets?

Here are the steps:

Preparation Steps:
1. Make sure your steering wheel is straight.
2. Make sure your windows are all the way up
3. Make sure your sun roof is completely closed (if you have one)
4. Make sure your parking brake is released.
6. Turn off your stereo and make sure you have your stereo's Anti-theft code.
7. Turn off your heat/AC blower
8. Turn off your lights
9. Make sure your doors are UNLOCKED.

Now, disconnect battery 30 secs and then reconnect.
Get in car close the door and turn the key to position 2 (Just before you start the engine but do not start it)

1. Resetting your windows: Bring down both windows at the same time by holding the switches just before the click that brings them down automatically.
Once both windows are all the way down make both switches click by pressing them all the way down and hold them for 3 secs
- (This lets the ECU learn that that is the end of the window track and it records it in memory).
- Do the same for closing the windows by holding both switches and making them click once the windows are all the way up.
2. Turn on your blower and make both sides go to 72 degrees (if you have this type of heater control) by pressing both up and down buttons at the same time.
- This will calibrate the ECU
3. Turn on your stereo and enter you stereo code.
4. Pull the sun roof all the way back and all the way forward then up and then done.

6. Turn all of you lights on and back off, including your fog lights.

7. Turn the key back to position 0.

8. Turn on your engine. You will get 2 malfunctions, your ABS and ESP lights will be on and must be calibrated.

9. Calibrate your ABS and ESP systems by turning the steering wheel all the way to your RIGHT and then all the way to your LEFT,
then bring it back to center. Notice the two yellow lights disappear from you dashboard.

10. Let your car run in idle for about 5 minutes and then take it for a spin.
- Remember your ECU is still getting all the readings from all the sensors on your car so drive slowly first then faster... and so on..
- you're basically teaching your ECU how to handle your car.


Throttle Reset

1. Get in and shut the door
2. Turn key to position 2 (just before you start the engine).
3. Press the gas pedal to the floor... past the kick down point...
4. Hold the pedal there for 15 seconds
5. After 15 seconds while foot still planted, turn the key off but do not remove it.
6. Release gas pedal and wait 3 mins. Do nothing, you should here a click near key at 3 mins.
7. After the 3 minutes start the car and drive off normally... you should notice a difference in the shift pattern and smoothness.


Service Reset
Turn the car on to the 2nd key position, all the way ON, but do not start it.

- Then scroll through and find the A/B Service notification. Hold the "R" or reset button on the dash.
After a few seconds a message will display on screen asking you if you would like to reset the service notification.
Once this happens let off of the "R" button.
- Press and hold the "R" button one more time until the reset is complete.

Valve Reset:
1. move valve with finger off 90 degrees, turn key to 2nd position, let valve close and open, wait for "click",
turn off key, turn back on for 45 secs during which time the valve will close and open again, key off (Not been able to make this work).

Trunk Release:
1. Remove drivers fuse panel, pull 4 fuses on left 7.5A and 5A, wait few secs and replace,
- then try door unlock switch to see if it works, this will tell you if alarm is deactivated.
- if not try other fuses. Passenger Mirror auto-dip reset:1- Turn key to position 2

Side View mirror dip:
1. Select reverse, adjust mirror down so you can see curb for reversing etc.
- press Green store button on drivers door control next to the seat adjustment for a couple of seconds,
- then within 3 secs press the mirror control again - just once - in any direction, mirror is now stored.
- return to Gear shift to Park.
- wait 17 secs - mirror will return to normal position.
- Select reverse and test to make sure it dips.
- DONE.

Clk 200 Kompresor
Hey there a bit late to this but i kinda need help.
Recently i got me a Clk 200 Kompressor (192hp)
My Esp,Bas,Abs lights are on
My Tempomat doesnt work
I cant see how fast im going and thats about it.
I got it to a mechanic and he said the only way to fix all of this is to change the ABS Pump but its kinda expensive and im starting to think it might be the Relay.
My question is did you have all these problems and was it all bcs of the relay?

Have you try to change brake light switch? In most of the time its this the problem. Cheaper to try them buy new module.
