Urgent HELP with ESP

Hey guys. Hoping everyone is in great health.

So this was a pretty random issue for me. I parked my car & it was working perfectly fine with no errors at all. After 8/9 hours when i drove it again as soon as i reached 20km speed i got an error saying ABS, EPS unavailable. Run flat indicator inactive and the steering got hard as well. Steering wheel runs fine before the error pops up. I shut off the car the error goes away & comes back again as soon as i reach 20speed. I’ve tried turning the steering wheel left & right solution but it won’t fix it. Are there any fuses to look for? Change them maybe?. Since i cant get over the fact i parked the car perfectly fine & all this happened while the car was parked

I hooked up my maxidas to look for codes & these are the two codes i got

Codes






CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT. I’m very low on cash, just changed the air suspension compressor a month ago. Installed Bodykit 2 days ago and this error poped up! I’ve to sell my car. URGENT HELP!

The codes are pretty self explanatory. Do a search and you will find various solutions. Some recalibrated the unit successfully via Xentry, others replaced the unit, some fixed bad components inside the ESP unit and others found out that the issues were related to bad wheel speed sensors.

I would attempt to erase the codes and recalibrate the unit if possible.

Well i recalibrated ABR & managed to erase only 1 code. Now i only have ESP 47 module internal fault. I assume bad wheel speed sensors will throw a code as well?. Not getting any codes for that. Any idea how do i get to open the ESP Module for w221?

Plus how can such a thing happen when the car was parked?

Replacing it is easy. Unplug and install new one. Do you have a way to program and code the new one?
