Okay well I have 20 inch wheels on the car and it's a good inch all the time above the tire to fender. So I took it to a reputable Mercedes guy, and he said that ECU for the ABC or SAM unit needs to be replaced and then it will work properly. Before I bought the car I also had them check all the above and the valves and they were in good working order.

So do you believe its the electronic unit too, and what is the appropriate name?

 

i don't think there's such a warning display message as "display defective ABC".

the suspension then got no problem. it doesn't go up or down by itself.

you can reset the warning by pressing the selection button because it's just priority 2 warning.

best way is to use computer first to extract the fault code. please tell me what's the fault code.

it can be a CAN communication between instrument cluster and ABC control module. but i doubt SAM got something to do with that.

pull out the ABC module and see if there is any oil contamination on the connector / pins.

 

there could be 10 things causing that light, from a bad pump to sensors to control units, you need to have the codes pulled, what year and modle is it?

 

benzfixer, i think he got the 2000 model with lorinser kit on it.

very much the same as in W220.

 

I have a 2000 with Lorinser Kit, and yes I have a very reputable Benz mechanic and he told me that its the unit that needs to be replaced, but I don't understand why it comes back on and goes off.

 

Here is the error in the console window.

 

Bumpity Bump.............. I guess no one is knowledgeable in this area ?

 

it is better to tell me the fault code.

the one on the display is for driver's information only.

it can be a wiring harness, communication problem or control unit.

see the attached pic on my next post. maybe it's also the reason.

 

your VIN and fault code is very important.

sell the car quick-my 33000mile cl500 just split the pump for $2200 and the dealer now tells me a sensor on the wheel also went bad. Probably another big bill--thalist on this car was 109000 u s dollars
