So I'm driven along and merging on the highway and decide to floor the car. Then, oh oh, I get 3 codes: ESP, BAS, and Anti-Lock. What is that about? Any ideas? I searched this forum and came across a thread to turn the wheel lock-to-lock several times to try and get rid of the codes. I did that, but they are still there. Anybody know anything about the codes and its cause? Thanks ahead of time for any response.

Dealer sd the brake switch behind the brake pedal malfunctioned. The brake switch is used by the car's ECU for a variety of functions, including the ESP, BAS, and antilock. That is why when the brake switch failed all of those warnings came on.

With the 210 E-Class, 99% of the time the cause for the ESP warning light is a faulty stop-lamp switch. It's almost a certainty.

Below it or not, my dealer is interested in finding a way to decrease the sensitivity of the ESP. In other words, when you turn off the ESP, that it is actually 100% off or at least reduce the ESP intereference to as minimal as possible. Do you know if that is possible?

I don't know if it's possible for the dealer to do that. I've never heard of it being done, and I can't recall ever seeing that option in the computer.

Oh well.
