Funky dash warning lights
Bingo! The diagnostics showed defective ABS sensor that triggered the other codes. I had MB replace both rear ABS sensors and everything is restored-- except now I have a brake pad warning light. The MB service guy says he can replace it for $240!!!! I look at aftermarket sensors and they're inexpensive and YouTube shows me easy to replace. Its not safety related as I have plenty of meat on my pads (40K) so I'll do it myself at some point.
My take-home from this is that a bad signal from an ABS sensor triggers all kinds of stuff that's only peripherally related.
Does anybody know how to over-ride a limp-home mode in the event you're far from service or a tow vehicle?
Thanks for all your input.
Peter
