CLK500 in limp mode
I have a CLK500 2006, after changing front arms, joints, joints *****, and other parts of suspension system i got the following errors :
1. Speedtronic Error - Visit workshop
2. ESP Malfunction - Visit workshop
3. ABS Malfunction .
and then the car went into Limp mode.
We didn't touch any sensor when we replaced the suspension parts but it seems we may broke something, i can't figure it out , any thoughts please ? the car starts on the same gear and doesn't change gears.
Thanks a lot in advance .

I'd guess it's an abs sensor, disconnected or just broken wire. Since you were working on the suspension it make sense. I'm not sure that an abs sensor would cause the limp mode, but first 3 issue definitely.

Best way to tell exactly what is wrong is to pull error codes. If you know someone with Star diagnostic tool or at least iCarsoft mb ii ask them to scan your car. Or you can buy iCarsoft mb ii, it's around $140. In worst case scenario you can buy it from Amazon, scan the car and return it.
