BAS/ETS/ESP light on!

BAS ETS and ESP lights come on after start and stay on. Tried shutting the car off and restarting and the lights were off. Anyone else experience a similar issue? It is a 1999 ML320.

Likely that is an intermittent brake light switch.

I had the same issue caused by a faulty ABS sensor.

Fix most with Brake stop switch replacement...

Fixed most of the error codes with brake stop switch replacement...around $20.00.

Here is the link I followed to replace the switch:

Just had my ML fixed for this problem and most especially with that code. They changed the ABS relay. you know where that is? hope so. Just buy that one. I paid $170.00 for that relay + labor - of course.
