ABS, ESP inoperative See Owner's Manual
Hi, I drive a 2006 year Mercedes Benz W211 and a couple of days ago after an oil change, I got an abs esp fault, also run flat indicator was inoperative, when I turned on my car fault appeared immediately, the steering wheel became stiff, and when I started to drive it disappeared and the steering wheel came back to normal but my car started to accelerate itself for a few minutes, then abs light and steering wheel stiffness came back, but it drove as usual. No problem with brakes while abs esp fault is on. What could it be? Maybe someone had this issue before. I thought about the abs sensor, but because it has a problem with acceleration I don't know.

Before starting to throw parts into it, please scan for codes, and report back.
In the meantime, how old are your batteries: main and auxiliary? Are they fully charged? I think 2006 is a pre-facelift, and it has an AUX battery below the AC filter.

Clearly communication errors, i.e. CAN problem. Find the document attached for "pleasure reading"
Perhaps look at the CGW under the driver's side, and clean all contacts first. https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ml#post7488058

Thanks, I will check that. Also, can I still drive it without damaging it more?
