That is a very complicated system with lots of sensors and switches on and will have to be diagnosed with a suitable diagnostic scanner, if you try and guess the problem and fit parts it will potentially get very expensive very fast.

SOURCE: Warning Light on Mercedes ML270

Hi,

To my understanding:
BAS ESP - Electronic Stability Program (keeps you moving in the direction you intended the vehicle to go); probably a faulty brake switch or a bad brake sensor. You may want to reference this forum for additional insights;
ETS - Electronic Traction System (keeps you moving); would require an appropriate code reader to diagnose and pinpoint problem.Surprisingly, there has been some reports of defective brake pedal switch that activates this warning. You may lilkewise want to reference this forum for additional insights.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: ESP/BAS warning light on. went

Hi, these systems are all linked together. Most commonly, one of the wheel speed sensors is not reading or is reading incorrectly. This can also occur on slippery surfaces where one or more wheel slides enough to cause the sensor to drop the signal, but not enough to meet criteria for an abs or esp episode. If the light comes back every time you turn on the ignition, there is a deeper problem.
The system has detected a fault in the electronic stability program - brake assist system. You have an electrical connection at the rear wheels secured to the inside of the brake area and are viewable from under the vehicle. It is a small wire harness running to each wheel. Grab the connector and wiggle it around, and make sure they are tight. Due to the connector being mounted low to the ground, sometimes they become dirty or corroded, not making contact. Do this on both sides and see if the lights turn off.

If the light does not turn off, you have to replace dynamics sensor, which is mounted UNDERNEATH the center console in the car. There is a "lost communication to dynamics sensor" and "low voltage to dynamics sensor supply"..

I've just purchased a 2008 SLK 200. Does anyone know how to put the rear quarter windows up whilst top down.

I have a CLK 2001 and my rear window buttons just work normally when the roof is down. I can even raise a rear window without raising the front one.

My slk 280 says take to shop for esp on the dash. why?

Because you have a fault code & dash light on

The ABS System may have a problem

Google what ESP is about

No --you can not get it off your dash

You can & it will come back, until you
make the repairs

BAS/ ESP light on the dash bord stays on all time the car engine is running

The BAS stands for Brake Assist System, don't remember what ESP stands for.
But the first thing to do is make sure the brake lights go on when you hit the pedal.
If not, then replace the brake light switch above the pedal.
If that is not it, it could be many things, such as a bad lateral acceleration switch.

I had a similar problem with my car and was advised that the ESP and BAS normally come out as a direct result of the low voltage on the battery.Chances are your battery life has expired. Replace your battery with a new one. To remove the ESP you need to start your engine, turn the steering wheel all the way to left and right, repeat this a couple of times, switch off and restart your car.Make sure you don't leave your lightsand wipers on the auto position as this sometimes drains your buttery power unnecessarily. These simple steps should take away the frustration and make you enjoy your car again.
