Quick Question

hey all
quick question my abs/esp is not working at all lights and malfunction messages are appearing in my 02 e320
is this a brake switch problem does a brake switch malfunction cause the abs/esp to not function at all?
and is there a way to tell if it is the brake switch which is causing this problem?

any help is very much appreciated
thanks

First check

your batttery output.Go to How to Diagnose Air Conditioning Malfunctions | EclassBenz.com
and run the first set of the test.Value #24 is your battery voltage while running.
It should be above 13.If lower than 13 your abs will stop working and turn on the warning lights.If above 13 get the switch and do the diy you have already read about.

step on the brakes,do you have brake lights?
