Default RE: 96 500sl epc warning

it has a problem witht the actuator potentiometer (throttle valve).

also if the value in accelerator pedal sensor is faulty, this problem will happen.

try shaking/moving those cable, and cleaning the terminals if it goes off.

your car is running on emergency "limp home mode".
