1995 E420 Special Edition
ASR Light With No Side Effects

Hello all!
New to the forum, I recently purchased a 1995 E420 black on black with ASR.

Car rides like a dream! recent throttle body and wiring harness replacement before i bought it... but the ASR light comes on randomly while driving from time to time. There has never been a loss of power or gas pedal function. so i dont worry about it.

am i looking at a wheel speed sensor problem or a brake light switch problem? My brake pedal does groan when being depressed/released, but brakes work completely fine.

P.S. My M5 in the background

Hi Notorq, just check also the battery. It took a week for mine to completely die with many side effects: warning lamps in dashboard lighting erratically!
I have tried to recharge the battery a couple of times but the car alternator (although working well) was not sufficient to recharge the faulty battery. And this battery, a supermarket brand... cheap, but I understand why, was only 1 year 1/2 old!!!
If it is not the battery, the sensor is a good possibility as well as any related relays.
Good luck.

PS: great looking car!
