ABS and ESP currently unavailable message.
Yesterday morning when I start my S550 4matic, the yellow ABS and ESP currently unavailable message came on the dash. I shut off the car and restart, message went away. This morning similar episode. Only thing I did electronically to the car was updated the navigation map to the latest version. Will that causes this problem? Any options will be greatly appreciated.

No, a map update would not affect that at all. How are the batteries? Could be a battery getting low - the one in the trunk or possibly the one under the hood.

I've had this happen to me twice now - the first time in 2008 when the car was 18 months old, and two days ago. Both times it required a wheel sensor to be replaced.
