Where does it say that?
In the cluster or on a code reader?
Are the ABS and ESP lights still on?

you can't guess on modern cars - you'll need to use reasonable diagnostics...

first thing I'd do is view all four wheel sensors readings as its driven down the road - only need to go 100 yards - if on or more are being odd check the parts you replaced - rears die frequently
see what else the car is moaning about wipe and recheck after a short drive

ABS modules dying is sadly very normal on motor cars, although Merc oddly seems less afflicted than the junk most German crooks buy - with VAG & BMW etc. buying ones deliberately designed to cause customer problems

Why do you change all ABS speed sensors?
