What scanner are you using?

Did you work on the MASS Air Flo Sensor at any time?

Code P20CA says there is a problem with the L/R speed sensor.

Regarding the P2004 code

I also read something about might needing to replace the Air Flap runner because they usually break over. Mercedes only sell the whole manifold. I’ve seen that a after market kit is being sold but non for my vehicle

That air flap [problem is only for 272 & 273 eng, ML500s do not have the same intake.

Replace the left rear speed sensor and after that delete all codes and see what codes return.

Hey Maj ,
replacing the rear speed sensors,fixed the abs and esp issue and the car was back driving great for a week,before the check engine light came on with the P2004 code again along with a P2013 code. Any ideas on what the issue may be.
