Exclamation W221 320cdi airmatic abs problem. Need your advice!

Hi Friends,


I have an issue with abs. Almost every second time after i start my parked car i receive a "Abs,esp, etc unavailable" message (sometimes also distronic failure message). After i drive 30 m it disapears and everything is ok.

I visited Latvia Mercedes dealer and they told that star diagnosis shows that all abs sensors are inoperative but as they said it is impossible. They offered to check wiring and other physical defects.

Maybe You have any experience?

By the way Already three times my car went into limp mode for some seconds.

Please, please help!

Armatic i said just for info.

After all i think i uave solved this problem myself. It costed me 4 bucks. I have visited carwash and washed my wheel arc with karcher plus sprayed with contact cleaner.

I have started my car 6 times today and no error messages. Hope it will be for a long time.
