W221 S500
ESP Light ON - no error on Diagnosis

The car is 2007 S550 4Matic.

Very weird error. ESP Inoperative - ABS is working.

When reading with Star Diagnosis - NO error, no event memory on ABR (Adaptive Brake).
The weirdest thing is that when u open the module in Star - the ESP Error disappears.
All actuations and actual values are OK in the ABR Module.

Used some Abrites software i got an error "check steering angle sensor" - but this software cannot be trusted.

Anyone experienced the same especially for the W221? I read the threads for ESP but all was full of spam and incomplete solutions. Most common is the steering angle at the steering column, but why the Star Diagnosis does not show the error then?

Kind regards

I had the ESP was due to the steering wheel being a few degrees out when driving straight ahead.

You think that if i do the wheel alignment and reset the steering angle sensor it will be gone?

Did you run the quick test which reports the status of all systems? If no, you should so that you can see which are current and which are stored.

AVDI is usually accurate on late model vehicles such as yours. Did you try scanning with the online option?
