Warning light, 2000 e320, ESP, BAS,ABS...

I was just driving my car and the warning light flashed 3 times and said "BAS", then "ESP", then "ABS". I'm not sure but I think I need new brake pads, will this solve the problem? The car drives just fine and I just had a regular oil change.

I would think you would get the brake pad warning light if the brake pads were worn. A relatively common problem causing the BAS/ESP malfunction has been the brake light switch.

Believe you may have a brake light switch failing. Its certainly not warning for pads. Switch is a simple problem
