Just got the 02 S600 already have a problem after carwash...Help please?!?
Took the car thru a carwash today, as soon as i drove off the abs light came on , followed by the ESP &BAS Visit WoRkshop!
The transmission wouldnt shift out of the second gear , so I pulled over and shut down the engine....shortly after i tried to restart it and it wouldnt. I disconnected the battery, and connected it back up. After a few minutes the car finally started....But the ESP BAS and ABS were still lit...and the car wouldnt upshift higher than the 2nd gear.....
Have any of u guys experienced similar problem? If so, what was at fault?
Thanx

did u wash or spray off engine? If so you really screwed up...if not, than well...u bought a s600...it could be anything...sounds like the trans is in limp-home mode caused by a abs/esp malfunction.. i guess. Could be the stop lamp switch but is is really bad idea to throw parts at it..I recomend you tow'er to a repair facility and have them diagnose it with a sds or comparable tool. Usually 1 hr labor is what ur looking at to get a basic idea whats going on.

No i didnt wash the engine....my guesses that it may be one of the wires got pulled underneath the car as it was coming off the carwash conveyer.....or maybe one of the sensors got wet and started malfunctioning, setting off all the warnings.....I disconnected the battery , will keep it disconnected overnite....if the issue doesn go away, off to the dealer tomorrow.....
