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:

C1401 still comes up. I am going to have this double check next week.

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.
