ML350 2010. ESP and Run flat indicator issue

Got the ESP and Flatrun errors this morning right after starting the engine:
1. ESP inoperative. See operator's manual
2. ESP unavailable. See operator's manual
3. Run Flat indicator inoperative.
Within couple of miles the yellow triangle turned off and errors disappeared. Later today everything repeated. What could be the problem?
Tomorrow I will go to the service to have computer checkup, but our services are trash... Want to understand what could it be by myself...

Small correction. Triangle goes off and run flat error disappears. But "ESP unavailable" still inside the Messages.

It's as simple as, 'the codes must be read' with a scanner, not a cheap code reader.

Is your ABS light on as well or just your ESP? in most cases it could be one of your Wheel speed sensors , or wheel bearings. Also check the ABS pump (un-plug and plug).
A good diagnostic mahine would send directly to the problem. I use Carly fo MB which you can get off the android or apple store.
