Hello,
I am new to this forum, Can any one help me? I Have a C200 2002 cdi W203, I am facing the following problems:
1- ABS display faulty
2- BAS display faulty
3- ESP display faulty
4- EPC Faulty
5- Brake pads/liner wear and tear
6- Both speedometer and odometer not working
7- Cruise control not working
8- Central locking not automatically locking while the car is running

The Fault codes I got on the scanner are:
1- P2203 -001 External quantity control by ESP No Communication
2- P2203 -032 Request from control module ESP is Implausible.2
3- P0500 -001 Vehicle Speed signal: CAN data invalid
4- P1636 -008 Electric suction fan Open circuit
5- P1470 -016 Positive control variation (Charge pressure is too low)
6- P1330 -008 Starter control Open circuit.

Please Help me with the solution since the electricians at MB dealer I visited are not very good and I am fed up of all their trial and error methods & experiments which are proving to be pretty expensive for me.

 

hello people,
i got no replies....any way ordered for a new ABS module/pump today... hope that solves the problem..

 

mate did it work? I have the very same issue with my mercedes c180. Mine is auto so the gearbox will also stop working when the speedo stops. let me know mate before i spend fortunes on worthless diagnostics. I also have a code to do with brake vacuum pump, not sure if its related

Hello , I'm new on this site . Need help my ESP came on my w202 estate warning then I turned esp off it started to flash but when I touch brakes it went crazy on the road scared me as it caused the car to swerve can any one advise . I'm afraid to visit dealer in my country as their prices are ridiculous .i live in the Caribbean and only one dealership . average parts cost sometimes 100 percent to 1000 percent more .

 

make sure your tires are athe same size. have you had new tires installed? also could just be a bad wheel speed sensor harness or a bad wheel speed pickup/magnet in the wheel. the brakes are going crazy because the ABS is activating at a particular wheel and braking that wheel.

 

Thanks would check and give you feed back . I do have different tyres in the front .

 

Also why would esp go back on when turned off

 

on your car it is never 100% off. it will still activate especially if it sees a very large difference in wheel speed.

 

what size tires on the front and rear?
example that ould cause a problem.........205-60-16 tires at 3 spots and 1 tire has a 205 65 16. the middle number ..( 60, 65, ) are the sidewall of the tires height. if they are different compared to the other tires this will make the traction control think a tire is spinning or braking...
check your drivers door jam for the correct tire size....
also a tire with very low air pressure can also sometimes cause ESP traction control issues.

 

regarding the above post, and ABS.
I am probably wrong, but surely, the lights should go out once the engine has fired, but the car not moving,so what has road speed, tyres, wheel size, etc, got to do with a stationary car
I apologise for any stupid posts
