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.
