w211 e320 ESP ABS malfunctions, gear wont change and stuck on Parking.
I need help with my 2003 e320
Problem started with it going into limp home
Won't change gear sometimes stuck at P. and wont shift higher than first gear.
ESP abs light is on dash
Had this put on Diag.
the codes are:
ME2-SFI: P20CC-008 'rough road detection' signal (by comparing wheel speeds) : Speed signal from control module ESP implausible/ Read out fault memory of control unit ESP (P1999)
P2068: fault is stored in component N15/3 (ETC[EGS] Control units. (P0720)
P2036-004: No or incorrect CAN message from control unit N47-5 (ESP control unit) communication fault/ see also CAN status in freeze frame data (P0600)
ETC: P2310: one or more messages from control unit n47-5 (ESP, SPS[PML] and BAS control unit) are not available on the CAN bus ( CAN timeout fault)
ESM: P1876 the signals sent by control unit n47-5 (ESP control unit) for the wheel speeds and the braking torque are not available on the CAN bus.
p2042: the brake signal from control unit N4705(ESP control unit) is not available on the CAN
bus.
SBC: C24DD: Fault in CAN communication with control unit N47-5 (ESP control unit.)
my independent mechanic said its the SBC units which i had it replace about 3 months ago under warranty. but when i took it to the dealership they say its the ESP control units and has nothing to do with the SBC.. the car is at the dealership and want me to spend $165 to do farther diagnosis on ESP control units. They estimated the replacement for ESP control unit will be $2490.
also the SBC is leaking brake fluid.
if its the ESP, Is ESP control units hard DIY to do to? or is the code suggesting that the SBC unit is acting up again?
if anyone can reply me at your earliest convenience will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you are mis interpreting what folks are saying and very obvious you do not understand the location and function of the ESP----------The ESP module is undercover in the drivers side fuse and relay box.
If you were smart you would have had whoever scanned the car to record the faults then erase the faults------then drive the car, then scan the car to see what faults return.
Based upon my experience control modules that have sensors reporting to them rarely are faulty themselves but are storage places for sensor data and those sensors do fail---in fact the data is telling you that there are issues with speed sensors and speed sensor data is used by a number of control modules as an example---traction and SBC and others used the speed sensor data to preform their tasks. If they get no or poor sensor data they advise a fault in more that one module--
Based upon what you have said, the bigger problem is that your indy hasn't got the foggiest fooking idea about understanding of the systems on MB cars---thats your first big mistake.
Go to an MB indy that knows MB systems first-----then the type of diagnostic equipment second------because if it is reversed--customers will get screwed then the customer automatically believes MB sucks bla bla!!

what floks are you referring to? and what does it have to do with the location of the ESP?
i did have them clear the code, but the errors comes out right away.
if indy knows what's wrong with the car i wouldn't be on here asking for help.

A MB indy(real MB indy vs. indy who does it all)/dealer would will able to pin point the issue (diagnose/check the parameters).
Sorry, I wasn't able to help much.

Maybe a computer or module is the issue?

I have like 10 of these cars in my backyard right now. If you give me the last 8 I can get you a price on a used module.

So it was the esp module ? The one located on the driver side fusebox and on the inside left which is the abs esp pml/bas am i.correct ? And was ya car in limp mode specs! Cant go over 45mph abs ligjt lit and speedo not working and the triptrinic not workimg and not going from sport mode into winter mode

buy the way when I got the scanned these are the 5 errors codes
2 transmission control faults
23C2 & 23C4
22E7 : Check system high pressure control
23E2 : Check component g3/2 (02 sensor upstream of KAT)
22E0 : No vehicle speed signal read out fault memory code of control unit n47 - 5 (ESP BAS Control unit)
I am no expert but just want to know what is the top priority fix or if one problem is causing another. My local garages in my area are not the greatest but I can't afford to go to Mercedes-Benz at the moment.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Regards

This is another one of those impatient double posts-----an answer is again------------
"From my vantage point all the gilding has come off the lily---wada a deal!!
Oh well for the autopsy--all the faults do not appear to be sympathetic--you have a major transmission problem---you have a problem with the fuel rail high pressure sensor--you have a faulty upstream O2 sensor and you have a faulty speed sensor.
If I were the owner, I would first closely look at the transmission and the fuel rail issues--both are not DIY's and require special tools and knowledge to correctly repair.
The sensors are cheap. The big ticket item is the transmission and you want a shop that is very familiar with Mercedes not Cherries!!""

I think you are very foolish purchasing non OEM sensors anywhere.
Regarding the transmission and assuming the fluid level is appropriate, the flush is fine, but not the issue.I would want to find out what caused those faults

Thanks for the advice. I just got it scanned elsewhere and the speed sensor is the main culprate he stated that the torque is fine and the car has plenty of power. He also found a blown injector which is being repaired. After he cleared the errors it now drives fine but it won't last long. I've checked the part service history and found no transmission service!!!. Do you think at this point it's actually worth doing a transmission service while I scout eBay for a sensor?
Thanks
