My wife got Power Steering, ABS, etc. lights on and the power steering really didn't work.
Tried to turn off the car and close it and start it, but didn't help.
On the next day every thing works well.
Any ideas?

Hi Malcolm,
Can you elaborate a little?
How did you solve the problem?
Did you replaced the sensor or cleaned contacts or something similar?
What is the cost and required professional level to fix this?
Thank You

Another day passed and in the morning, a minute after leaving the parking while driving very calm, the lights and warnings turn on and the wheel turns hard.
Trying to reset by moving the wheel from full left to full right did not helped.
BTW, the battery is about 3 months old, and its voltage is OK. Also the alternator seems to charge it.
Drove all the way to the dealer without power steering.
Delear found error code is 4945 - indicating the ESP control unit itself.
Cost me the equivalent of around 1500$ (US).
My car is C300 2010 with 94000KM
Hope this info will help somebody.
