Brake Visit Workshop

Had the warning show up on my wife's 05 CDI. Took it to MB, under warranty, and they ran the software check of the SBC and cleared the warning. I never did find out what the fault was. Looks like it might not be the brake switch on this one, but I will give it some time. It might come back.

I had "Brake Visit Workshop" last week.

My SA asked me if it the message was in white lettering or in red lettering.

If its in red lettering its the SBC unit. If its white its regular brake stuff. My rear sensors were going off and the "brake switch" was giving errors.

Brake switch $359.00
rear rotors&pads $550

LOL....I still love my Benz!

Are you referring to the 6 Euro stop light switch as in the sticky at the top of this forum?

LOL....yup! thats the same switch. I heard that you need to clear the error with the computer at mercedes. I know the part was that difficult to change, but I really didnt want to worry about any other issues.
