W164 350 CDI - ESP Warnings - Braking F-L Wheel
Hi All,
Situation: Turn on vehicle and when drive above ~5km/h the ESP / ABS warnings on dashboard turn on, then a clicking noise is heard briefly across dashboard/firewall, and then front-left brake activates. If continue to drive the brake releases, but the situation is becoming worse.
Impact: SAFETY -Do not have ESP / ABS nor cruisecontrol.
Action: I have read various threads which suggest replacing speed sensors. I have replaced the front-left which has not remedied the issue. I am about to embark on replacing ALL speed sensors, but keen to learn if anyone has had this exact issue and what there remedies were.

This place is a joke.
Multiple posts here and the x164 forum all lead to the same answer. Faulty wheel speed sensor(s) and/or faulty wheel bearings especially if the car lives in the rust belt. Scan for codes, and only use new OEM sensors.

UPDATE
Action:
- Took of each wheel and replaced all x4 wheel speed sensors. Cost = $56 AUD
- Job took about 1.5 hours
- Test drove and faults disappeared and full functions became available.
Impact: SUCCESS!
