pls use the search button on the forum. There is guaranteed to be results listing those codes. Probably the brake light switch or the conductor plate or a solenoid.

Alternatively do a google search on this. I have come across stuff on the W210 forum on Benzworld.org. There is a DIY on replacing the brake light switch. Someone mentioned shifter module but hopefully replacing the brake switch should aid your situation.

Super easy to fix this. Order a conductor plate, sealing sleeve, filter, pan gasket and 5 quarts of trans fluid. Will take you about an hour and you will be back in business. Unless trans fluid migrated to the TCU, then you will also need a TCU, but that is less common, and still not too expensive.

You clairvoyance astounds me. I wish I could figure out what is wrong with a car with no info. You could be right but it could also be the brake lite switch and that is only about $25 and is much easier to install. Not saying that's the problem but it could be and if your going to shotgun money at something start with the less expensive items first.

Alliteratively I would get the car Star scanned and go from there.

This could be almost anything except the brake switch as they do not exist in the 209's...
I would go so far as to wager it has nothing to do with your transmission.

I stand corrected but could it be the pressure sensor on the bottom of the reservoir? I have not heard of these going bad (haven't heard of it at all for that matter) but I would think it would have the same effect.

Here's a constructive piece of advice that may not solve your problem but should be done anyway.

Pull and clean the speed sensors. Takes longer to get the wheels off and who knows......

Seriously this car doesn't have a brake sensor switch behind the pedal like the W203? That's odd. Thought the cars were engineered the same apart from the body.
