ML 320
Brakes coming on by themselves
I wanted to start this thread because this problem happened to me and now I hear from more and more people who have had the same problem. LONG story short, the breaks on my 2001 ML320 came on by themselves 4 times. Just like other people the conditions were different, rainy, sunny and dry, going fast in the freeway, going slow in the city, braking, starting to accelerate, etc.
In my case, I had the Yaw Rate Sensor code in my computer and got the Yaw Rate Sensor replaced, same with 2 other people and same with other guys from this forum and other forums who have heard about this issue. Seems like it is on ML's only.
Now I have a friend from Egypt who is having the same problem and he says there's a guys in the czech republic who had the Yaw Rate Sensor changed. The problem with Sochy.rider (that's his user name here) is that the dealer in Egypt replaced the Yaw Rate Sensor and he still have the problem.
If there is anyone out there who have heard about this problem, or knows the solution or what the cause could be (after the Yaw Rate Sensor is replaced) please let us know.
THANKS

Breaks coming on by themselves
OK, my problem is that the breaks come on themselves, but only on one wheel. I changed the sensor, but it didnt help at all. I checked if there is a burned cabel or something, and I didnt find anything wrong with them!
I started another thread on one czech forum and one guy told me that he had the same problem with his MB viano. The dealer told him that the problem is in the SENSOR but finally, the problem was in the CONTROL UNIT. I am really scared that this might be the same thing. What do you think I should do if there is a problem with the control unit?
What I did couple of days ago was this: I disconnected the control unit and than connected it. My idea was that by doing this I can restart the control unit. This didnt work too. Please help me to find where the problem is.
THANKS
