E Class Convertible
Major Traction Issue

Hello,

I have a 2016 Mercedes E class Convertible and my traction light , ABS light and Collision prevention assist warning lights have come on i had taken this to a mechanic and it bought up alot of faults, and they have said this is a wiring issue?

Also the roof wont come down with the button on the arm rest, the dash displays the message ' Convertible top only operational under 25mph '
even when the car is idling. the only way i can get the roof down is if the car is switched off and i press and hold the unlock button on the key

Any one have any ideas what the issue could be?

Thank you

It sounds like your car isn't properly measuring wheel speed. All those systems are sensitive to wheel speed measurements.

Likely just a sensor in one of the wheel hubs.

And take it to an experienced Mercedes mechanic. Dont let Jiffy Lube hack up your wire harnesses.
