ABS BAS ESP Problem Help !!

What's up guys I'm new here just wanted to see if I can get some help on my 01 Mercedes Benz E320.

​​​​​​So the problem I'm experiencing is my brakes start to pulsate by themselves randomly , usually when I'm going slow but has happend at 30 mph also. Once that happens my ABS & BAS ESP light come on. It feels like its coming from the front brakes. I'm thinking I may need new abs sensor.
Any Ideas what it can be ?

Hey,
I doubt the sensors could cause the pulsing. That is normally caused by bad rotors, brake pad, or wheel bearings.

Good luck,
Barry

Put it on a diagnostic system before you start throwing money and parts at it. A failing sensor could fool the ESP into modulating the brakes because the sensor indicates the wheel is rotating too fast compared to the other wheels; if the car calculates a wheel is spinning due to lost traction, the ESP will apply the brakes for that wheel.

FWIW, the ESP in the W210 is crude compared to the W211's SBC.

Before you apply the diagnostics make sure all your tire pressures are the same!-----Are or were they the same?
