Gl320 upcoming purchase help
Hello Benz community,
I am about to purchase a GL320 CDI with 168k the only problem is that the ABS EPS inoperative light came on during the rather intensive test-drive. It did go back off and came back on a few times then stayed on for the remainder of the time. I have done TONS of research and I see where the most common problem is the speed sensor(s). My question is will a normal diagnostic tool (like the one you can rent from orielly's) tell me which sensor to replace or will I need the Xentry software? I guess I am looking to see if there is a certain code for each specific wheel sensor malfunction with a generic OBDII scanner or just one umbrella code.
Thank you,

I purchased the vehicle and have been driving for about 6 days now. The ABS light only comes on at speeds over 50mph.
I do want the DAS software to be able to maintain the vehicle. I currently have HPTuners which I have used in the past I was hoping they would increase the supported list to accommodate the GL320.

I have decided to just purchase four wheel speed sensors and replace them all. The software is a grand to buy it outright and to just buy the multiplexer is still over $300 and find the software through other methods. The wife does not like the idea to spend over a grand on the car when all four wheel speed sensors are $50 bucks and about 2 hours of my time. I do have HpTuners which after the software is installed I will try to use the Hp Tuners multiplexer with the xentry software. I am hopeful but not expecting any results.
