ESP - steering Angle Sensor

[MinionBob]

Have you thought about ordering both types, get both types delivered to the garage, they can choose & fit the correct one and then return the incorrect one for a refund?

MTV parts on ebay are a merc dealer, and are very good. you might pay a bit more but being merc, it is likey to be the correct part 1st time...

Dunno mate i am not really big fan of ebay ordering there very rarely and in order i want new part not used or second hand. The thing is in the eshop dealer they saying both connectors are good even in my big doubts about it one of them is 5 pin the second one is 4 pin no cable just plug... i will order both new the problem is its comming from poland and refund may be a bit struggle...

Re the Ebay thing, most of my genuine merc stuff comes from there and I have never had a single problem when ordering from any one of the Mercedes dealers that trade on there (I'm not talking about breakers or non genuine parts, just the merc dealers who sell on ebay). They have been A1....everytime.

It might be worth getting in touch just to see if they can furnish you with the part number or offer insight into which part you have

 

[Marksvk]

Ok allready maded some research on ebay found tons of options for different prices... but which one should i order ? I will post em a pm will see if they can response... they mostly from germany so sending em pm may be a bit problem

Angle sensor never go wrong.
Tell me the error codes or what is the problem with the steering.

I think it can broke or the pin can be broken in connector... but here you go

I can see codes
C 061200
C 040200
C 032700
When you turn the steering wheel, do you hear any screatching noise from the steering?
Also, are you using the German ebay.

 

[Marksvk]

Not at all 0 noise sounds or something similiar... the only case that is happening is when i turn my key on position 1 my esp signalising malfunction straight away. Also cruisecontrol doesnt work and perhaps any driving comfort systems are off. I noticed that steering wheel is bit stiff like before the error occured... i am on dutch ebay german one whatever

 

[mattkh]

There is nothing wrong with your steering angle sensor.
Is the car automatic or manual gearbox.

 

[Marksvk]

Automatic 7 g tronic

 

[mattkh]

Automatic 7 g tronic

Thanks.
OK is the battery fully charged.
Clean the earth connection of the battery.
If you use the brakes a lot, change the brake pedal switch.
Are the tyres the same type on each axle.

 

[Marksvk]

Yes its fully charged all tyres are same preassure and axle dunno what is earth connector on battery but those codes must say something about the reason... i dont understand why pc will show up error codes of something else like its steering problem and i should look on battery if shes fully charged dont make me any sense. I let check even wheels like break pads abs cables and all conections of possibillity of missing something there as well but everything is quiet ok

 

[mattkh]

Because I think if we can cure the cruise control problem, it may clear the ESP flashing.

 

[Marksvk]

esp flashing has happened first on very beginning... from first 2 3 4 weeks dont remmber the problem was like 30 - 70 then more 50-50 and from some day its become straight after turning the key into the slot... so lets say was driving 3/4 of road with no problem then i turned right or more left with wheels or hit the hole even small one or drove over the road painting esp flash straight and afterwards of this flash all comfort unit systems are off even that one whos detecking your sleepawarnes or however to call it to be correct. today the esp malfunction ocuring on my dash straight before even engine start...

 

[mattkh]

Thank you for the detail.
Do you have anything to clear the codes or to read the codes?

 

[Marksvk]

Somehow i read the codes trying understand em. One of those codes when i put it in different pc diagnosis showed up the right wheel abs malfunction but if there will be any abs problem i guess my car will notice it and also show up on dashboard so still walking in magic ring trying to start somewhere to fix it maybe step by step... do i have other option in this case ?

 

[mattkh]

Good. Is it the right front wheel or right wheel at the back? Sometimes, just a bit of road dust can get stuck to the ABS sensor.
By the way, the brake pedal switch only cost 20 Euros.

 

[Marksvk]

Do you have any idea how the mentioned part does looks like ?

 

[mattkh]

It is a bullet cartridge like thing pushed thru the brake caliper and about 2 mm away is a ring with holes like in a hose clamp.
On some cars, the ring can be inside the wheel bearing.
I dont know how to see parts catalogue for Mercedes vans. If you know then please let me know.
