TWO MALFUNCTIONS
'01 clk 430 - Getting malfunctions whenever the steering wheel is turned all-the-way right or left. Malfunction lights are 1) ESP and 2) BAS/ABS ......any ideas?

RE: TWO MALFUNCTIONS
Try normalising the steering angle sensor.
Ignition on, engine running full LH lock, then full RH, then full LH for good measure. Ignition off. Restart. Any change? Stuart |
RE: TWO MALFUNCTIONS
sorry........did not cancel the malfunctions lights....tx for trying......
btw......3 weeks ago had new pads/rotors and section of brake line replaced @ dealership.....any chance of a connection..? |
RE: TWO MALFUNCTIONS
How did you cancel the warning lights?
Symptoms and solution don't seem to fit. High probability of connection between brake system work and warning. Stuart |
RE: TWO MALFUNCTIONS
OK..here's a more accurate timeline....4wks ago brakes went out (no warning lights came on)...dealer repaired pads/rotors & a ruptured section of brake line...along w/ Service A and 2 motor mounts......vehicle has 78,900 miles..
....3 wks later when steering wheel turned full R or L the 2 malfunction lights appear... 1) ABS 2) BAS/ESP SO.......was wondering if there's a connection between repair work & new issue |
RE: TWO MALFUNCTIONS
no.
not unless they adjust the end stop screw of the steering. by that case the sensor sends signal to the control unit that the angle was larger than what is programmed on memory. try disconnecting/reconnecting the battery and initialize the steering angle sensor again. |
RE: TWO MALFUNCTIONS
Good replies here to your symptoms. Agree with battery disconnect for a few minutes, then before re-initializing the steering, check for any computer DTC codes. Recordand then clear all codes. Re- initialize steering. Let us know what happens. thanks.
