wrong forum you have an E class with nasty brakes... SBC is basically a cross between normal brakes and a Citroen with the driver pressing a switch and nitrogen putting the brakes on, rather than the driver creating the brake pressure

the error you have is NORMAL on the w211 with SBC brakes

you have two common issues with these brakes

1) designed to die software switched off the brakes !!! USA got warranty extension and new parts to get around this
2) a battery back up gets old and needs to be replaced its under the windscreen washer bottle... its purpose is to help apply the brakes when the Gas sphere accumulator has lost pressure

I just asked a garage if they ever changed those spheres, they said very rarely.... but if the gas is low the pump grumbling to build pressure should be very common.... this loss of nitrogen is what killed princess grace of Monaco

And I doubt whether they would give you the same funeral as Princess Grace.

The SBC brake system is lifetime warrantied by Mercedes. Go to dealer and get it fixed. Read more at the actual W211 forum.
