Hello to all, my S430 2001 has the following problem, in the board came BSA and ESP emergency servo brake and it does not leave me to accelerate, remains as if it was in neutral, I have to turn off and start the engine and it works normally, check engine light is off.
Do any one have the same problem?
What can be the issue? :confused:

Without using diagnostic equipment to read the fault codes you are looking for a needle in a haystack, these are very complex systems, BAS/ABS and ESP are connected and also connected to large parts of the car.

OK this is more helpful, given these codes it normally turns out to be the control unit that is faulty. The SPS is not initialized so first try to initialize it and here is how;

The engine should be running, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left, do this several times. If SPS initialization is the real problem then when you initialize it the lights should go out.

If they do not go out then you need to physically examine the control unit. You can take it out and open it, check for white marks, ie water stains and rusty connections etc.

Here is the location of this module;
