ABS Light

The ABS light came on in my 2008 GL CDI At the same time I got the warning that the run flat indicator is inoperative as well as the cruise control. Either this is the most amazing coincidence ever or it's all stemming from the same thing. Anybody dealt with something like this before ? Thanks, Will

I have this issue on my 2008 w211. For me it's the abs speed sensor on my front driver wheel.

Get yourself a scan tool that will read mb specific codes and you should be able to see which of your four sensors is failing in the space of just a few minutes. It will run you about the cost of one hour of labor at a shop and will save you a ton in the long run.

Thanks

Picked up an icarsoft MBII last week and it was my drivers side front sensor that was triggering the codes. Can't compare the icarsoft to other Mercedes specific scanners but it sure seems like a great deal for the money ! Thanks again, Will
