ABS BAS ESP Lights Issue Check list

Hi,
I have read so many forums regarding this inherited issue of w210 (ABS BAS ESP Lights pop-up). To help precisely and easy to follow steps for any current or future victim, I shall be really grateful if some of us can make a final check-list regarding this issue,

We are talking here about generalized kind of few major possible issues, when ABS|BAS|ESP lights suddenly appear in W210 from 1998-2002 (or any other related models)

Most Possible Issues:
1- ABS|BAS|ESP lights suddenly appear on dash, while driving
a) Lights go OFF, when doing lock to lock steering rotation (full left - full right - center)
b) Or, lights remain ON, when doing lock to lock steering rotation (full left - full right - center)
2- Lights, instantly appear on pressing brake paddle.
3-
4-
5-


Let me re-arrange the list based on your expert inputs:

1- Get your vehicle scanned (if possible), proceed accordingly.
2- Replacing the Brake Switch
3- Confirming correct working of ABS pump's motor (using a stethoscope or hold hand on ABS pump's motor while someone starts the engine)
4- Re-flowing or finally replacing K-40 Relay
5- Confirming correct behavior of all 3 Brake lights
6-
7-
8-
9-
10-



Thanks!
