Error P0503 Vehichle Speed Sensor Interminent/Eratic/High

My 2010 E350 with 105,000km reported P0503 error with engine light on. It is still pending error in the diagnostics tools. Have anyone experience this at all? I don't feel anything weird with the driving etc. I looked it up and it might be related to ABS speed sensor. Since I believe my car has 4 of them, without knowing which one can be hard on the wallet. Any thoughts or idea?

Thanks.

yeah, I hear you!

Since you have a handy code reader, you go ahead into the ABS/ESP Module to read live wheel sensor data with wheels spinning.

MB wheel sensors are known to have issues... actually it's the steel ring on the shaft that gets rusted apart.

As long as it's not the "tranny conductor plate", you're golden.

hello what kind of code reader did you have? I used the wifi ELM one. I don’t think I saw ABS option on my apps. Thank you!
